Welcome to your dream coastal retreat in the picturesque city of Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island, a perfect place to enjoy AMI’s laid-back friendly island lifestyle. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath canal-front home is in a prime location. The home is one of a few canal homes on the island that enjoy the particular privacy of not having across-the-canal neighbors. The view from your yard is of preservation mangrove, which cannot be developed. The location is ideal for those who like to spend time on the water. Fish from your dock or hop on kayaks or paddle boards for a nature stroll through the beautiful, protected waters of Bimini Bay. For boaters and sailors the canal front home enjoys a quick access off a long dock out the canal and into the sheltered Anna Maria Sound, and for the more adventurous there is a straight shot out to the open waters of Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico with no bridges. When you step inside the house, you'll be greeted by an open and bright living space that exudes warmth and elegance. The expansive windows flood the rooms with natural light, showcasing the beautiful views and creating a seamless connection with the outdoors. The interior features high ceilings, hardwood and tile floors, and a neutral color palette, providing a blank canvas to put your own special touches. The kitchen has a large chef-class gas stove, seat-in island and a separate dining room surrounded by windows. The kitchen and dining areas open onto a utility outside drive area suitable for grilling and smoking, The spaces are perfect for preparing culinary masterpieces or gathering with family and friends. The home offers four spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with a private ensuite bath and walk in closet. A lower addition is perfect for almost-separate accommodation for visiting family or a mother-in-law arrangement. Step outside the main floor to discover your own private oasis with a large pool and spacious yard opening on a long dock with views of the canal and a private green preserve across the water. The 500 block of 77th street shelters one of a very few truly “neighborhood” communities, where the neighbors gather once a month for sips and tastes and conversation. A few of the families have children, the lifeblood of any community. The neighbors watch out for and assist each other and welcome new ones. Schedule a private showing today and embrace the beauty of island living at its most idyllic and gracious.
