Waterfront luxury and exceptional boating access await at this stunning Grand Canal home in Holmes Beach on Anna Maria Island. Situated on one of the island's most desirable deep-water canals, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence offers direct boating access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico with no fixed bridges, making it a rare opportunity for serious boaters and waterfront enthusiasts. Designed to embrace the island lifestyle, this furnished home (with a few exceptions) enjoys coveted southern exposure, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. Tropical landscaping, a mature mango tree, and a fenced backyard provide privacy, while the heated pool, oversized spa, and expansive 12' x 60' dock with a 20,000-pound boat lift create the perfect waterfront retreat. Inside, walls of impact-rated sliding glass doors showcase spectacular water views and seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living spaces. White Italian oak-inspired plank tile flooring flows throughout, while the family room features vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a custom entertaining bar. The chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with 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 primary suite with walk-in closet, water closet, and direct access to a secluded outdoor oasis overlooking the canal. A flexible den easily serves as a fourth bedroom, home office, or additional guest space. Extensive 2021 improvements provide both luxury and peace of mind, including a new roof, impact windows and sliders, and updated dock and pilings. Additional upgrades include all-new Schedule 40 drain piping beneath the slab and a 2025-installed 26KW whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank, ensuring reliable backup power year-round. The covered waterfront lanai is pre-plumbed and wired for a future outdoor kitchen, creating an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. Additional features include an oversized garage, carport, and ample parking. Located on the prestigious Grand Canal in the heart of Holmes Beach, just minutes from Anna Maria Island's award-winning beaches, waterfront dining, boutique shopping, and island attractions, this exceptional property offers one of the finest boating locations on Anna Maria Island and the perfect combination of luxury waterfront living, deep-water access, and relaxed coastal elegance.** Property information received from third-party sources is considered reliable but is not guaranteed.
