About this home
Waterfront luxury, exceptional boating, and true peace of mind come together at this beautifully updated Grand Canal home in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. Perfectly positioned on one of the island's most sought-after deep-water canals with no fixed bridges, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers direct access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, making it an outstanding opportunity for boating enthusiasts. Recently inspected this property has a clean report card and in excellent condition.
Meticulously maintained and extensively updated, this furnished home (with a few exclusions) is truly move-in ready. Designed to embrace the island lifestyle, its desirable southern exposure fills the home with natural light while walls of impact-rated sliding glass doors frame breathtaking canal views and create seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The private tropical setting features mature landscaping, a producing mango tree, and a fenced backyard centered around a heated pool, oversized spa, and an impressive 12' x 60' dock with a 20,000-pound boat lift—perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or setting off for a day on the water.
Inside, white Italian oak-inspired plank tile flooring flows throughout the home. The spacious family room showcases vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a custom entertaining bar, while the beautifully appointed chef's kitchen offers quartz countertops, custom cabinetry with appliance garages, a large center island, and premium Fisher & Paykel and Bosch appliances.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes spacious guest accommodations, a hidden laundry room, and a private waterfront primary suite featuring a walk-in closet, water closet, and direct access to a peaceful outdoor retreat overlooking the canal. A flexible den easily functions as a fourth bedroom, home office, or additional guest space.
Extensive improvements completed in 2021 provide exceptional quality and lasting value, including a new roof, impact windows and sliding glass doors, updated dock and pilings, and all-new Schedule 40 drain piping beneath the slab. In 2025, a 26KW whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank was added, providing dependable backup power. The covered waterfront lanai is already plumbed and wired for a future outdoor kitchen, while the oversized garage, carport, and generous parking offer convenience for family and guests alike.
Located in the heart of Holmes Beach, just minutes from Anna Maria Island's world-famous beaches, waterfront restaurants, boutique shopping, and island attractions, this exceptional property offers one of the finest boating locations on the island. Combining luxury, quality construction, extensive recent improvements, and remarkable waterfront access, this is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional canal-front home where all the hard work has already been done.** Property information received from third-party sources is considered reliable but is not guaranteed.
