WATERFRONT! Offering a myriad of opportunities, this home stands out with eclectic charm and highly sought-after access to Palma Sola Bay. Custom built-in 1986, and once the definition of the premier design of its time, this home showcases innovative craftsmanship which is evident by an open-concept floorplan. Elaborated by a wood-burning, double-sided stone fireplace; an accent wall that pulls the gaze upward towards a skylight; and a spiral staircase leading to a landing that overlooks the essence of intentional design. Although featured as a 2 bedroom home, there is an additional bonus room that can easily be used as a 3rd bedroom/office with additional room contiguous for a closet or storage. The allure of the home's character is evident upon arrival as you wrap around the oversized, circular driveway, then you are welcomed by the commanding stone entryway that calls you in. You will see that the foundation is already here and awaits being brought to life. The kitchen adjacent to the living room stands ready to host, while the spacious lanai with a large pool offers intimate spaces and gathering areas for every time of day and season. Being perfectly positioned on a canal with a private dock, a short boat ride will guide you into ideal waters for dropping anchor, paddleboarding, or leisurely boating from your waterfront abode. Making it desirable to those looking to sculpt a picture-perfect coastal lifestyle. You will appreciate the easy escape from the city to Anna Maria Island where you can go to enjoy a variety of beaches, join locals to savor seafood at a beachfront café, and the laid-back island life
