759 - N SHORE DRIVE - ANNA MARIA

Agent's Comments

Custom built by Anne Chiles, on just under an acre and lovingly named Wave Crest, is one of the last of its kind remaining on Anna Maria Island. Newly updated with an additional bedroom and bathroom, updated bathrooms, metal and composition roof with hurricane strapping, foam insulated, Hardie board siding, front and back decks made of Ipe wood, a generous foyer, laundry room with storage, two water heaters, a 3 ton 14.5 seer HVAC system with 5 kW heat strip, a garage door that can be opened remotely from anywhere you are and an upgraded kitchen as well as hurricane rated windows & doors. This home is on a four-foot cement foundation set on deep pilings and has a sea wall. Thoughtful attention to the heart of the home constructed almost entirely of heart-pine wood, from the Chiles family farm, was especially considered with every upgrade and enhancement. To mention a few, the kitchen has original and newer hand made solid wood cabinets that meld together in such a beautiful way to unite the modern Miele dishwasher and quartz countertops. It takes more than a second glance to realize the full size of the Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer wall unit that the owner built adding additional cabinets and drawers. In the new bedroom, the owner also built an impeccable replica of the vanity with drawers from wood reclaimed from the carport. To carry through the existing heart pine flooring, logs were raised from local rivers from centuries past. All bedrooms are en-suite with two having direct beach access. This beachfront coastal gem is close to all Pine Avenue shops, eateries, Farmers Market and Piers on the Bay. You can enjoy the ultimate in island living while having the constant presence of the blue, green and teal colors of the magnificent waters of the Gulf of Mexico in your sight. Providing the quintessential ambiance for a sunny getaway or blissful daily life. Virtual viewings are available here: http://listing.noblesandheroes.com/ut/759_N_Shore.html
