103 - 51ST - HOLMES BEACH

Agent's Comments

Welcome to 103 51st Street. One of the most amazing Gulf front properties in Holmes Beach. Although the address says 51st St, the property is located directly on the Gulf of Mexico The property is over 27,000 square feet with 80 feet of direct gulf front. On the street side there is over 151 feet of frontage on 5th Avenue. 5th Avenue is a unique street. It is not a high traffic volume street as it only proceeds along the Gulf for two short blocks and only 5 Gulf front properties front on it. The property is surrounded by lush tropical vegetation and shaded by large Australian Pines. They provide a welcome measure of privacy from anyone walking past on the beach. You can see out to the Gulf, but dunes and shade prevent them from seeing into the property. Now we need to talk about the existing home. The home is a traditional ground level wood sided cottage. The neighbors told the seller that the house was built in 1950 by a renowned female Walt Disney cartoon illustrator. It is clad in the original cypress plank siding. All the exterior windows have been replaced with impact resistant glazing. The entire back of the home has large windows and sliding doors. You can watch the sunsets from the huge great room and kitchen. In fact, the sunset can even be watched from the bed in the master bedroom located at the front of the home. The kitchen and baths are made of granite and stone. The home has 2 bedrooms and 2 and ½ baths. The entire interior has been upgraded and redone. However, one of the full bathrooms is still under construction and close to completion. The entire home is open and inviting. You can enjoy it as it is and not change a thing. Or it can be the perfect place to enjoy your Gulf front property while you plan your forever home on Anna Maria Island. The size of the lot allows the construction of a home with well over 9000 square feet of air-conditioned space. Whatever you choose to do, your spectacular Gulf views are here to stay.
