TWO HOMES, ONE RARE OPPORTUNITY Welcome to Mango Cottage, a lovingly restored 1925 bungalow nestled on a corner lot in Bradenton's beloved Historic River District. This one-of-a-kind property features two completely separate homes with their own addresses on a single parcel, creating an exceptional opportunity for owner-occupants, investors, multigenerational families, or anyone seeking built-in rental income from day one. The main residence, Mango Cottage, offers 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths with beautifully refinished heart pine floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, restored plaster ceilings, and original architectural details that give the home its unmistakable character. Thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with its historic charm, including a new roof, AC, electrical panel, hot water heater, washer and dryer, fresh interior paint, and a beautifully remodeled bathroom anchored by a classic clawfoot tub. Just off the primary bedroom, a light-filled sunroom offers the perfect place for morning coffee, yoga, or a few quiet moments before the day begins, with a dedicated laundry area conveniently tucked nearby. Spend your mornings on the welcoming front porch swing listening to Florida's native birds, where life seems to slow to a gentler pace. Out back, a spacious deck invites evenings around the fire pit or grilling with friends, while the private backyard creates a peaceful retreat from the outside world. The second residence, affectionately known as Wee Mango, has been completely remodeled and offers 1 bedroom, 2 full baths, and a flexible bonus room that works beautifully as an office, guest room, or small second bedroom. With its own private entrance, separate driveway, and fenced outdoor space, Wee Mango lives like an independent home while remaining part of the property's unique story. Beginning July 15, it will be occupied by an annual tenant paying $1,600 per month plus utilities, providing immediate, reliable income from the day you close. Each home enjoys its own driveway and private outdoor living area, while the main residence also benefits from an irrigation system. Mango Cottage is being offered furnished and move-in ready, making it a true turnkey opportunity. Ideally located, you're just minutes from downtown Bradenton and the Riverwalk, close to IMG Academy, less than 10 minutes from two major hospitals, approximately two miles from the nearest public boat ramp on the Manatee River, and only 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Anna Maria Island. For investors, the numbers speak for themselves. Mango Cottage generated approximately $27,000 in short-term rental income between January and June 2026 alone, while earning Premier Host status and consistent 5-star reviews. Additional reservations are already on the books for the remainder of the year. Combined with the steady annual income from Wee Mango, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy both short-term and long-term rental income from a single investment property. Whether you're searching for a primary residence with built-in income, a multigenerational living arrangement, or a proven turnkey investment, Mango Cottage combines timeless historic charm, thoughtful modern updates, and established income potential. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare. Don't miss your chance to own a remarkable piece of The Friendly City's history.
