At the center of the home, the gourmet kitchen takes full advantage of its gulf setting, overlooking the water and opening naturally toward the living areas.

Open the sliding glass doors for unobstructed views or relax on the screened porch and enjoy the sea breezes. It is equally suited to quiet mornings overlooking the gulf or elegant entertaining with family and friends as the sunsets. The outdoor amenities create an exceptional island lifestyle. The large heated pool and spa provides a private shaded place to relax and entertain, complemented by a shared bonus room adjacent to the pool. The outdoor shower allows everyone to clean up or cool off before coming inside. The green space provides the perfect place for a game of cornhole. A tandem garage provides substantial private parking and storage, while the residence enjoys direct access to a stretch of beach and beachfront firepit, creating an extraordinary setting for sunset gatherings and evenings under the stars. This is a property defined by space, privacy, provenance, and setting. The combination of a two residence building, private elevator, substantial interior scale, gulf front living, resort style amenities, and construction by Whitehead makes this a particularly rare offering on Anna Maria Island. For the discerning buyer seeking a distinctive Florida beachfront residence with the scale and presence of a private estate, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a truly memorable piece of Anna Maria Island.
