Along with the wraparound windows, it reveals sweeping treetop and Gulf views, an unforgettable setting for sunrise coffee, sunset cocktails and evenings under the stars. Below, an oversized garage provides exceptional storage for beach gear, bikes and island toys.This is a home ready for a new owner's vision. Architectural pedigree, privacy, Gulf views and beach access just steps away set the stage for an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind Anna Maria Island retreat.
