About This Home
As of September 2025THE GRAND CANAL...Offering unlimited possibilities, this coveted location on Anna Maria Island features DEEP WATER access with NO FIXED BIDGES to Tampa Bay and the Gulf beyond. Add to that the additional privacy and amazing views you will enjoy looking across the 150 wide canal, plus more room to maneuver larger boats and you have a formula that ticks all the boxes. This home experienced storm damage but has been completely remediated by top notch professionals. A recently replaced roof and updated hurricane rated windows provide more than a little incentive to renovate. However, if you are looking to build the home of your dreams this location has exactly what you need to construct your own mini mansion. According to Holmes Beach Building Codes, this almost 9000 square foot lot will allow for new structures of up to 3500 square feet. A new cap on the seawall, newer dock and pilings, davits for jet skis and plenty of room for a pool and spa also add to the value calculations. It’s been said, “the only ceiling for value of a waterfront property is the size of the boat you can tie up to the dock!” If that is true, this fine property offers almost unlimited value potential. Oh, and did I mention you are a short bike or cart ride to amazing restaurants, quaint shops, the Island Theatre and of course pristine beaches perfect for an evening stroll with your significant. Why wait, call today and take the first step toward your future on Florida’s Gulf coast.
