Listing Price: $1,795,000
Description of Property
Welcome to your dream island retreat, perfectly situated just a half block from both the sugar-white sands of the Gulf of Mexico and the calm waters of the bay in beautiful Bradenton Beach. This charming and elevated coastal home offers the ideal blend of laid-back island vibes, thoughtful updates, and luxurious outdoor living — all tucked into a tropical oasis. This 2-bedroom, 2 bath home greets you with classic Key West-style architecture, complete with durable Hardie board siding, hurricane-impact windows for peace of mind, and tropical landscaping that gives the property a lush, private feel. The exterior is as inviting as it is functional, with an expansive driveway, a shaded carport, and a grand two-level deck topped with a rooftop observation platform. From this elevated perch, enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the island — perfect for sunrise coffee, sunset cocktails, or stargazing at night. Inside, the home is a coastal haven. The main living area is bathed in natural light thanks to large windows that bring the outside in. Beautiful flooring, crisp white trim, and a soothing beachy color palette create an open, airy ambiance. The spacious living room invites you to relax, along with stylish accents, and a large-screen TV — perfect for cozy movie nights or entertaining. The adjacent dining area and kitchen continue the fresh, coastal feel. The kitchen is both stylish, offering white shaker cabinets, ample storage, updated appliances, and black granite countertops. A large peninsula with bar seating offers the perfect spot for casual dining or evening cocktails. Just steps away, the dining nook sits beside large windows overlooking the treetops, making every meal feel like a vacation moment. The two bedrooms are well-appointed, with soft natural light and coastal decor that feels relaxed and refined. The bathroom has been completely remodeled with a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, beautiful tile work, and modern fixtures. Step outside and experience what truly makes this home a standout. The backyard is your personal tropical paradise, complete with a freeform heated pool and spa, surrounded by lush greenery for privacy and relaxation. The pool even features a unique swim-up table, ideal for enjoying a cold drink in the water. The covered patio area offers a cozy outdoor lounge, creating the ultimate setting for reading, napping, or gathering with friends and family. Whether you’re taking a dip in the spa, lounging poolside under the palm trees, or grilling out under the stars, this outdoor space is where memories are made. What truly sets this home apart, though, is its unbeatable location. Bradenton Beach is one of the Gulf Coast’s hidden gems — a laid-back, walkable community on the southern end of Anna Maria Island. Here, time slows down. The free island trolley stops nearby, making it easy to explore everything the island has to offer — from the historic Bridge Street Pier to boutique shopping and art galleries. Living on Anna Maria Island is like stepping into a postcard. With its small-town charm, locally owned eateries, and miles of pristine coastline, it’s no surprise that people come here for vacation and end up never wanting to leave. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence, a seasonal escape, or a strong vacation rental investment, this home is a rare opportunity to own a piece of paradise.
