Agent's Comments

This charming canal front home, on a quiet street in the city of Anna Maria, is the ideal island retreat for a weekend or a lifetime! From the moment you step through the front door you feel this home's exceptional touches. The open concept invites you to relax and enjoy the views overlooking the canal through the large glass doors onto the wrap around lanai. The brand new kitchen boasts butcher block counters, wood ceilings, recessed lighting, stainless steel Energy Star appliances, and a walk-in pantry. The French doors in the dining area bring you out to an open deck - a perfect place to grow your herbs or to enjoy your morning coffee. Wake to the wonders of the island with French doors to the deck off your master suite overlooking the private back yard and canal. The second bedroom could be used as a guest suite, or an office, with sliders to the porch and its own private entrance from the wide back stairs. The backyard patio is shaded by a pergola covered by grapevines. There is plenty of room for a pool, or just enjoy the shaded park-like setting. Bring your boat for this deep water with no bridges to the bay. Downstairs garage has plenty of parking, as well as a storage room plus an air conditioned workshop/studio. The home has a metal roof for efficiency, along with a low maintenance yard. Hardin Avenue is only a few blocks from Pine Avenue with its charming stores and only a short walk to the beach -- a perfect home to enjoy the serenity and joys of island life.
