512 74th St., Holmes Beach, FL 34217

You’ll love the beamed, wooden ceiling in the living room of this updated, Mid-Century Modern home on a canal in a quiet Holmes Beach neighborhood near the sugar sands of Anna Maria Island. Manatee Property Appraiser’s website shows 1,670 square feet of A/C space, but this home lives much larger. The former lanai (Florida room) has been incorporated into the living space, and the two-car garage has laundry facilities and storage behind in a separate room. The sparkling pool is the focus of the back yard, which is seawalled on a sailboat-water canal leading quickly to Bimini Bay and subsequently Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The kitchen is just to the left as one enters; all three bedrooms are to the right. The master bath has been renovated, and the hall bath is a charming original. Ceramic tile has been installed on most of the living area’s flooring, except the original terrazzo of the Florida room, and carpet in the bedrooms. Enough updating has been done to make you comfortable to move right in. And if you’re looking for a new kitchen or bath, you can make it entirely your own with little trouble. This property is being sold “As-Is,” with all known defects revealed in the Sellers’ Disclosure, including that the seawall is nearing the end of its life. But the sewer lines in the slab have been replaced, the pool added in 2005, the roof redone in 2008, and a new AC installed in 2016.
