There are homes that simply exist, and there are homes that become part of an island’s story. Cherished by the same family for the past 46 years and with only two owners in its history, this waterfront retreat captures the authentic charm of old Anna Maria Island. Perfectly positioned on a quiet dead-end street, this three-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a generous waterfront lot with beautiful water views from nearly every room. A deep-water canal with no fixed bridges provides direct boating access to Bimini Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, making it an ideal home for boaters, anglers, and anyone who dreams of life on the water. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its inviting island character, the home features a beautifully remodeled kitchen (2024), new ceramic tile flooring throughout, a new air conditioning system (2024), and a new water heater (2024). The private pool creates the perfect setting for relaxing after a day on the boat or enjoying Florida evenings with family and friends. Being sold fully furnished, this home is ready to enjoy from day one. Move right in and embrace the timeless island lifestyle, or use this exceptional property as the foundation for creating your own custom waterfront dream home. Opportunities like this with such history, character, and an unbeatable boating location rarely come along. Only a few blocks from the beach, offering the best of both worlds—deep-water boating from your backyard and easy access to the Gulf’s white-sand shoreline. Come experience the enduring magic of old Anna Maria Island, moments from the gulf beaches and conveniently located to island dining and shopping. **Property information received from third-party sources is considered reliable but is not guaranteed.
