508 - 75TH STREET - HOLMES BEACH

Agent's Comments

The Anna Maria Island beach house ambience begins in the front yard, with a big Carissa hedge, Scheffelera, Key lime tree, brilliant Bougainvillea, Traveler and Arica palms and many bromeliads. It is a very private setting. From the front door of this Island home, you'll be greeted with an expanse of sand-colored ceramic tile, a hand-laid coquina rock fireplace by Island Contractor John Fara and a view straight through to the lush green lawn of the back yard and a sailboat-deep canal offering easy access to Tampa Bay. The open kitchen features new quartz countertops and red oak cabinetry hand-built by Islander Doug Copeland. The L-shaped back porch wraps around the family room and overlooks a new swimming pool with paver patio. The VERY private master suite has vaulted ceilings, its own deck opening onto the pool and a canal view. The guest bedroom also has pool and canal views. The cozy den is perfect for a home office with room for occasional overnight guests, with a half-bath adjacent. In 2011 Islander Gunner Annis installed a new seawall, cap and expansive dock, with step-down and davits. Originally built in 1957 by the late Norm Rosedale, it was first renovated in 1990 by Fara from a design by former Islander H. Patterson Fletcher, AIA. This home is being sold furnished with very few exceptions for your immediate enjoyment. It is owned by Islanders, licensed real estate sales associates. You could say, "This is an Islander's Home."
