Historic Bradenton Landmark, Bartholomew Fogarty House, Listed for $2.15M
The oldest residence in Manatee County, the Bartholomew Fogarty House, has been listed for sale with an asking price of $2.15 million. Built in 1871 by Captain Bartholomew “Tole” Fogarty, one of Bradenton’s founding figures, this historic property embodies both legacy and luxury with its recent meticulous restoration.
Located at 3101 Riverview Blvd. near the Manatee River, this three-story home features five bedrooms and 4.5 baths. Crafted from reclaimed ship materials, the residence has been revitalized by David Windham Construction under the ownership of retired veterinarian Dr. Harold Ott. The two-year restoration preserved its authentic 19th-century character, including original oak flooring, detailed woodwork, and a grand staircase, while adding modern amenities such as centralized air conditioning.
The redesign also introduced an open floor plan, reconfigured upper-level bedrooms with walk-in closets and en-suite bathrooms, and created a charming third level tailored for children, complete with dormer-ceilinged rooms and a cozy den. The half-acre property going on the market offers a rare chance to own a piece of Bradenton’s history.
