Opportunity knocks in a highly desirable West Bradenton location just off Cortez Road! This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home sits only 2.2 miles from Anna Maria Island and approximately 1 mile from the historic Cortez Village, placing beaches, dining, and coastal charm right at your fingertips. The property has experienced storm-related damage from the 2024 hurricane season (Helene and Milton) and has already undergone initial remediation, including removal of all carpet and padding, as well as the lower portion of drywall and affected insulation. This creates a blank slate for renovation and customization to your preferences. Additional features include a glass and screen-enclosed lanai, an enclosed laundry room, and a separate work/storage shed. The electric water heater is functional, and electrical service is available throughout the home (currently turned off). The HVAC system was newly installed shortly before the storms and may be restorable with replacement of the exterior unit. This property is being sold AS IS with no warranties expressed or implied. Whether you're an investor, builder, or buyer looking to create a coastal retreat, this is a rare chance to secure a property in a prime location with strong upside potential.
