Step Back in Time with a Home That Blends History and Modern Comfort: A rare piece of Bradenton’s history is now available-The Historic William Fogarty House, the second-oldest home still standing in Bradenton’s coveted River View District, offers a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of the city’s history. Built in 1872 by the renowned Fogarty Brothers—legendary shipbuilders who used the same resilient wood for their homes as their boats—this timeless masterpiece has stood the test of time and Florida’s storms without a trace of water damage. Situated on a fully fenced 12,649 SqFt corner lot, this property boasts unmatched privacy, complete with a heated saltwater pool and spa surrounded by new shellcrete coping, original brick pavers, and lush, updated landscaping featuring mature oaks, palms, Clusia hedges, and Miami Beach Pebble accents. This 2,800 sqft historic treasure seamlessly blends old-world character with modern updates, including impact windows in select rooms, an updated kitchen and baths, a refinished rear facing detached 2-car garage with a durable metal roof, updated plumbing and electric systems, and a newer water heater, air conditioning, and natural gas stove. The main home’s roof is only seven years old, offering peace of mind for years to come. Inside, the home exudes timeless elegance with high-beamed ceilings and rich pine floors, while the master suite features a private balcony overlooking the pool and the Manatee River—perfect for enjoying serene sunrises and colorful sunsets. The second bedroom also includes a private porch with river views. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated to provide modern comfort while preserving the home’s historic integrity. Located just minutes from downtown Bradenton, IMG Academy, and the pristine beaches of Anna Maria Island, this property is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. With its rich historical significance as one of the first few homes in Fogartyville, an early community founded by immigrants who shaped Bradenton’s history, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of the past in a park-like setting. Please note that the lot located in front of 320 29th Street is not included in the purchase and will be officially split at closing. Schedule your private showing today and experience the Historical charm of the William Fogarty House.
