243 Gladiolus St., Anna Maria, FL 34216

Active with contract. Inspection contingency. Here's a great family-sized home, built by Islanders, for Island enjoyment. Elevated to avoid nuisance flooding, with two floors above parking, bonus and workshop space below, the vista from the main living area is down the natural canal toward the Anna Maria lagoon, which empties directly into Tampa Bay near the City Pier. Featuring large, walk-around, covered decks front and back, plus a super space down by the heated pool and spa, this home really takes advantages of our Island breezes, and we think you will too! On the main living area, with real wood underfoot in most places, there's a great room with wood-burning fireplace, open to the dining area and an efficient kitchen. Also on that floor are a full bathroom, den and inside utility room. Up the broad stairway to the second living level, you'll find all four bedrooms, with the bath ensuite in the master and a separate bathroom for the other three bedrooms. There's even a view of Tampa Bay from the master, and views of the lagoon from the bedrooms on the back side. Down below is a LOT of storage, a drive space ideal for storing RV or boat trailers, on a big, pie-shaped, quarter-acre lot. Six blocks north is Bean Point. Two blocks east is the Manatee County public park with Bay beach. Best of all, the price is right to move this property. See it today!
