Property Description

*OWN A PIECE OF PALMETTO HISTORY* Welcome to the A. D. Cox house at 601 5th Street West, formerly known as 503 Orange Street—a true Palmetto treasure and one of the very first homes EVER BUILT in this historic riverfront town. Dating back to 1913 and built by the first architect in Palmetto, Fred Kermode, this residence is more than just a home—it's a living piece of local history, beautifully preserved and thoughtfully upgraded for today's lifestyle. Step inside and you'll immediately feel the warmth of the original hardwood floors, a rare feature that connects you to OVER A CENTURY of memories, as well as multiple fireplaces! Yet, while the character remains, the list of MODERN UPGRADES makes this property move-in ready and worry-free! Enjoy the confidence of PAID-OFF SOLAR PANELS, IMPACT-rated windows, a NEWER METAL ROOF and NEWER AC, as well as UPGRADED plumbing and electrical systems—including a 250-amp exterior hookup perfect for future projects or RV power! The home's thoughtful renovations seamlessly blend old-world charm with modern convenience. SOARING ceilings, historic details, and a floor plan filled with NATURAL LIGHT that flows seamlessly throughout, honor its past, while updated systems ensure comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind for years to come. Enjoy the convenience of TWO MASTER SUITES! The downstairs one just off the kitchen and living room, equipped with a fireplace, walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom with claw foot tub. The other one upstairs, filled with bay windows overlooking the city, a PRIVATE ROOFTOP BALCONY, and with an en-suite bathroom, fully upgraded. One of the bedrooms upstairs includes a 7x7 ALCOVE ROOM—a rare and versatile bonus space. Big enough to hold a bed, this charming nook could serve as a nursery, a private office, a dreamy walk-in closet, or even a cozy reading hideaway. Combined with all of the quirky closet spaces throughout the home, it's the kind of unique detail that makes this home truly UNFORGETTABLE! Outdoors, a 10x20 shed with a large concrete pad expands your possibilities—whether you dream of a workshop, storage, or creative studio space. The spacious yard, shaded by mature trees, invites quiet mornings, weekend gatherings, and al fresco dining in your own private slice of history. Opportunities to own a century-old home in the heart of Palmetto's original neighborhood are rare. Have we even discussed the SHORT-TERM RENTAL POTENTIAL?! With NO minimum lease period, minutes from the Manatee River and Palmetto Boat Ramp, your guests will leave with a once in a lifetime experience! This is your chance to carry forward a LEGACY, all while enjoying the modern comforts that make daily living effortless. With a convenient location 25 minutes from two airports, numerous restaurants and shops, Emerson Point, and the FAMOUS GULF BEACHES and Anna Maria Island, what more could you ask for?!
