There is not a better family location on the island!  Enjoy ocean breezes and water views with no streets to cross between you and the sugar-sand beach at this beautifully remodeled Key West style home.  Maple Avenue is one of the few streets in Anna Maria that does not have public parking, making it a quiet neighborhood retreat, but the location is also easily accessible to the island trolley, and the beachfront bike path begins here for a safe and traffic-free route into town.  This home is completely elevated – all of the square footage is raised (nothing finished at ground level) reducing the potential risk of flood damage.  As you step up to the stained glass front door you will appreciate the oversized front porch with plenty of room for sipping that morning coffee. Once you enter, you will immediately notice the openness and natural light of the newly redesigned first floor. The brand-new, oversized family-friendly kitchen welcomes with bright white cabinets and a coastal blue backsplash, features island seating for up to 5, and provides more than ample storage with its abundance of cabinets and two pantries. If that were not enough, right off the living room is a brand new wet bar with additional seating. The first floor bathroom is completely new with oversized shower. All appliances, including the washer and dryer in the first floor laundry room, are new (2020-2021). Heading upstairs you will find 3 generous-sized bedrooms.  The Master has a large, walk-in closet and a private bath with a newly rebuilt shower, a soaking tub, and double sinks. You will want to stop and enjoy the teal water views from the rocking chairs on the second story covered porch. The new rear sun deck provides access to the brand new pool and spa, outdoor shower, and under house seating and storage areas, all of which is surrounded by new fencing for privacy and safety.  There is plenty of parking, with a designated, fenced-in golf cart space, two under-house covered spaces and room for 4 additional cars in the two driveways.  As for construction, this home has been intelligently engineered with steel beams for durability and has built-in hurricane shutters. The entire home was completely re-plumbed in 2020 with PEX piping to remove all older PVC. Do not wait- this home is a hidden gem and would make a great vacation, investment or primary home. This property was not rented prior to 2020. It is currently in a successful vacation rental program and is projected to produce $200,000 in annual gross income for 2022.  (For someone looking for a 4-bedroom home, the living room could easily be converted to a large first floor master area with the addition of a wall.)
