About this home
Built in 1912 by W.V. Curry himself, this rare Sears style home is a beautifully preserved piece of Bradenton history—thoughtfully restored and seamlessly updated for modern living.
Situated on an elevated corner lot outside the flood zone, this iconic residence offers architectural soul and craftsmanship that are increasingly hard to find.
This unique home has been meticulously restored by family of the original owners and is being offered for sale now for the first time.
Come see the handcrafted windows and doors, restored hardwood floors, clawfoot tub, and countless details that speak to the quality and care of a bygone era. The expansive front porch with original French doors invites you to slow down and take in the character and charm of this historic home and view of the bay.
Inside, the home features a spacious formal living room wrapped in windows with water views to the west, filling the space with natural light. A beautiful, sunlit reading room sits just off the newly updated kitchen with laundry, offering a quiet retreat, while formal dining room anchors the layout for entertaining. Natural gas is available and in the queue to be connected February 2026.
Three original fireplaces add warmth and authenticity. An unfinished second story spans the full footprint of the home, complete with windows, with potential for additional living space while preserving the integrity of the original structure.
Located within city limits, this property allows for boat parking, rentals, and future expansion, with ample room for a pool or garage. The marina is just a stone’s throw away, along with downtown Bradenton’s waterfront dining, nightlife, and cultural amenities—all while enjoying the privacy and elevation of this unique setting.
This is more than a home—it’s a legacy property, offering timeless design, irreplaceable craftsmanship, and the opportunity to own a true piece of Bradenton’s architectural history.
