Description

Experience the ultimate island lifestyle in this exquisite coastal retreat on Anna Maria Island. Nestled on one of the island’s most breathtaking tropical lots, this beautifully updated four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers deepwater canal access to the Gulf and the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and waterfront living. Sold partially furnished and including a golf cart for added convenience, the home underwent an extensive remodel in 2021 and has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout. Recent improvements include a new seawall and dock with a 10,000-pound boat lift upgraded in 2024, as well as a whole-house propane generator installed in 2026. The property has also had no flood damage. Inside, expansive wood-look plank tile flooring creates a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. The stunning chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and premium high-end appliances. The main living level includes three spacious guest bedrooms, while the entire upper level is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite complete with dual vanities, a spa-inspired bathroom, and an oversized walk-in closet with washer/dryer. Additional highlights include a 200-square-foot insulated storage attic, a private man cave, and a unique indoor entertainment space featuring an indoor grill, bar, and television area that flows seamlessly to the resort-style pool and outdoor living space. From your private dock, enjoy direct boating access to nearby beaches, waterfront dining, and all the charm that island living has to give. This exceptional property is a rare opportunity to own a true waterfront paradise on one of Florida’s most sought-after islands. Don’t miss your chance to make this dream home your reality.
