604 Ambassador Ln., Holmes Beach, FL 34217

You’ve heard it: “Buy this house and you won’t have to do a thing!” It’s rarely true. But in this case, it really might be! Purchased in 2012 by an experienced Island home-stager with impeccable, contemporary taste, and nearly totally torn down before rebuilding what was there and adding to the existing envelope, this house is truly gorgeous. Living spaces are gracious and beautifully laid out. High quality tile is used throughout. Appliances, fittings and equipment are first class. The office is separated from the master suite by sliding barn doors, and bedroom two is privately located for guests or family. There’s fabulous tropical landscaping, a pergola poolside, boat or RV storage beside the house and a functional one-car (or golf cart) garage. There’s new wiring everywhere, and the old plumbing problems one encounters in older homes have been fixed. Ask your Realtor to pull the list of improvements made from attachments to this listing. It’s impressive. And you’re actually buying what amounts to a new home as of 2012, despite the build date required by the county appraisers. Are there comparable homes in this price range? Not really. It’s among the closest properties on Key Royale to the beach. But it’s in a quiet, peaceful setting that will set you free to enjoy Anna Maria Island the way it was meant to be. In a house where you won’t have to do a thing.
