135 Crescent Dr., Anna Maria, FL 34216

This original 1972 beach cottage is tucked away on an enormous lot in the village of Anna Maria in a quiet location just north of the humpbacked bridge over the lagoon. The options here are many: do some minor fixups and have a great spot from which to explore the island; give it a major renovation with all the cosmetics and be very comfortable on a lovely, private lot; tear it down and build a brand new home; add a pool (there is room for a really big one!) and have a great splash area for those times the Gulf is a bit too cool for actual swimming. Several new windows were installed inn 2013 and there’s a new air conditioner as of 2012. The home site itself, a large, pie-shaped piece of land on the corner of Crescent and Gladiolus, is beautifully vegetated with tropical plants wherever you look. However you use this well-priced property, Lake La Vista subdivision owners do have the rights to fish and boat from the dock on the northern bank of the lagoon along Lakeview Drive. And it’s just a hop, skip and jump to all the fun along Pine Avenue, with the super-wide beaches along the Gulf just north of the Sandbar Restaurant, and the Anna Maria City Pier anchoring the bay side.
