DIRECT TAMPA BAY WATERFRONT! The magic of Anna Maria Island shines throughout this well-maintained home with direct Tampa Bay frontage with sweeping views that brings the unobstructed Sunshine Skyway right into your backyard. Artfully designed by the original owner as a family beach retreat, the home's bright and warm demeanor is enhanced by floor-to-ceiling glass windows in a soaring two-story great room with two-way fireplace and handcrafted stairway. A wraparound balcony complements this space for waterfront entertaining beyond compare. An open kitchen with light wood cabinetry continues the coastal narrative with bay views that allow any chef a delightful vista when preparing meals. For convenience and privacy, a main-floor master suite is separated from the top-floor bedrooms and features a balcony, fireplace and spacious en-suite bath with dual vanity and soaking tub. Additionally, an upstairs bonus room is versatile and can either live as another bedroom or office/den. Resort-living takes shape with a covered pool area with seating. The beach is mere steps away, where a firepit and chairs set the mood for s'mores and stories amid stunning nighttime Skyway views. Magnificent in location and preservation, the home has a new barrel tiled roof that was installed in 2019. Your own piece of the sugary sands of AMI with the clean and contemporary lines of timeless architecture, this is a true beachfront oasis you won't want to pass up.
