Imagine owning a home in one of the most coveted beach/vacation destinations in the US… Imagine being only 2.5 blocks to one of the TOP RATED BEACHES in the world… Imagine being STEPS to publicly owned access to an inlet that leads directly into Bimini Bay… Imagine living in a home that is located on one of the MOST TRANQUIL streets in this beach enclave… Imagine focusing your life on the ease and comfort of Florida living that is all about sun, sand, fun, and friends!!! No need to just imagine. THIS is THE HOME for you! This home packs a lot into a “smaller Anna Maria price tag”. The updates made to this property have been done with purpose. Neutral and light tiles are in all the entertaining/gathering interior spaces. These rooms feel open and airy, especially the kitchen and living rooms which are filled with natural light from two skylights. On days when the sun is brighter than you’d like, the skylights have built-in light-filtering shades. The plusses to this island home continue… SPACE IN THE CURRENT FLOORPLAN TO ADD A 3RD BEDROOM; HVAC in the garage that makes the space easy to work in and store items while climate controlled; shade/privacy screens on windows to minimize sun, give privacy, and control temperatures; two water heaters (tankless/on demand for the baths and tank style for the rest of the home); skylights in the kitchen and living room; rain gutters that connect to rain barrels; space on the side for BOAT AND RV PARKING; public inlet access; tandem 2 car garage; and LED recessed lighting. Outdoor spaces complete the feel and ease of living with a property that is xeriscaped and filled with Florida-friendly plants and palms. The rear has a trellis-covered patio with a wet bar and the perimeter is bordered by mature and low-maintenance palms, giving an amazing level of privacy that adds to the oasis vibe. There is even plenty of space to add a pool! (Some suggested pool renderings are included in the listing photos) Winding around the corner of the rear garden is a path that leads to an outdoor shower. The front has a welcoming front deck/patio that is an exceptional place to enjoy the sunrise. And rare for this home’s size, is having a tandem-style 1 to 2-car garage. The garage measures approximately 16 feet x 35 feet, which could afford space for 2 small to medium-sized vehicles OR a vehicle and golf cart! The north side of the property has space to park a boat/RV behind the wood privacy fence and the south side has a paved additional space for boat/RV parking. And don’t forget about being RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE INLET! You can drop in your kayaks and head out to explore the inlets and surrounding bays. When the white sand gulf beaches beckon you, they are just a quick walk or bike ride away… only about 2 1/2 blocks. The coastal beach haven of Anna Maria Island/Holmes Beach has drawn beach and outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world for many, many decades. Only the lucky few get to own a piece of this haven as their own. Please view all the property photos. One shows the short path to the beach. Others show the potential views if a home was built 2 or 3 stories high. Very affordable municipality-owned boat slip rentals may be available.
