About this home
There is a side of island life reserved for those who demand the truly extraordinary—where the powdery white sands of the Gulf of Mexico serve as your literal backyard. Welcome to one of the most iconic and recognized beachfront estates on Anna Maria Island. Masterfully designed by the renowned architect Emily Anne Smith, this classic Coastal West Indies–inspired residence stands as a testament to timeless beauty, architectural elegance, and flawless coastal craftsmanship. Built by Whitehead Construction—one of the region’s premier custom luxury builders—every square inch of this estate reflects uncompromising quality and structural excellence. Spanning four spacious bedrooms and four bathrooms (including three luxurious ensuites), the home is perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking, unobstructed turquoise water views from nearly every vantage point. The moment you step through the door, the home’s grand sense of scale and elegant features become immediately apparent. Soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive windows invite an abundance of natural light, beautifully complementing the rich hardwood flooring and meticulous custom millwork found throughout. At the heart of the home is a chef’s dream kitchen, fully equipped for effortless entertaining. It boasts expansive quartz countertops, a large custom pantry cabinet wall, and a suite of premium professional appliances. Culinary enthusiasts will appreciate the Wolf double oven with a six-burner gas cooktop, a three appliance package by Signature Kitchen Suite including a high-capacity refrigerator, a wine cooler, and dishwasher. Additionally a bonus, premium Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher is perfect for effortless clean-up. The entire second floor is dedicated to the ultimate primary retreat. Here, you can wake up every morning to direct, panoramic views of the Gulf, completely immersed in tranquility. The outdoor living spaces are equally spectacular, designed to maximize Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Relax on the sprawling first-level patio, or ascend to the massive rooftop viewing deck—the ultimate front-row seat for Anna Maria Island’s legendary, world-class sunsets. Anchoring the outdoor oasis is a private saltwater pool, which has been completely redesigned from the resurfacing and custom tiles to all-new, state-of-the-art pool equipment. This is a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a legendary piece of Anna Maria Island paradise. To experience this coastal masterpiece firsthand, contact listing agent Gregg Bayer to arrange your private, confidential showing. Sent from my iPhone
