Circa 1900

I am so excited that on this my second blog, I have such a “treasure” to share with you.  I am in the process of listing this home located right here in West Bradenton.  This home is rich with history.  While I cannot confirm the story, it certainly makes for an interesting peek in yesteryear.  I was told by a previous owner, that this home was a country store back in the early 1900’s.  Historically, they would drive the cattle from out east to the Palma Sola where they would load them on to boats for shipping to Cuba.  As you can see, regardless of the history, this home is rich with character and charm.  Circa 1900, the home has all the great details we have come to expect from homes built by the craftsmen of their day.  You are welcomed to this home by a gracious front porch which immediately invokes a vision of sweet tea and a rocking chair.  Still preserved are the glass door knobs, mop-board trim and beautiful original pine floors.  Of course the kitchen and baths have been updated and made use of the spaces, without losing their character.  There is also a wonderful backyard that looks like an HGTV special.  I will be holding this treasure open on Sunday August 7 from 2-4, if you would like to come take a walk back into history.
