What would you think if you could find a completely renovated two-bedroom two-bath open floor plan ground level home on a secluded canal on the North End of Anna Maria Island. If you are curious, look at 413 Poinsettia Rd. Once you walk through the door you will be welcomed by the fresh bright clean interior finishes. The wall of patio doors at the rear of the home let the sun shine into the vaulted family room and open kitchen. This Is a concrete block home, with a metal roof and impact windows throughout. Because of its construction, its bones were not damaged. But unfortunately, water did get into the home. However, the owners did it right. Once they were able to start, their builder, Darrin Wash, immediately cleaned out the damaged interior. He obtained the required permits to make the home better than before. The sellers did not stop by doing just the bare minimums. While the walls of the homes were open, they replaced the electrical panel bringing it up to today’s codes. They also replaced the old cast iron sewer pipes under the home with new PVC and installed new tile throughout the living area. The rear sliding doors were replaced with new up-to-date impact resistant panels. Once all this work was completed, the interior was renewed. All new kitchen and bathroom vanities were installed with new quartz countertops. All of the appliances are new. The home was re-furnished and is now ready to move in and enjoy. All you need to do is add your own personal touches and transform this home into your own private oasis or a killer vacation rental. This home has a large, screened lanai on the rear that could be converted into a third bedroom, with its own access to a secluded brick patio on the side of the house. There appears to be room for a cozy cocktail pool at the front of the home. The property has 74 feet of deeded canal front with a 30-foot dock constructed with concrete, wood and Trex decking. This is the perfect spot to launch your kayak and maybe sail with the manatees who visit out back. (Check out the photos) The dock gives access to your boat lift, nestled in the mangroves that provide privacy from the water. Should you want to play in the sand, the Gulf Beach is about 500 steps away and the Bay Beach is about 200 steps from your door. Today’s home buyers need to be aware there are many homes on the island that were remediated after the storms with no building permits. The City’s Code Enforcement is identifying them one by one. The homeowners are required to apply for a “permit after the fact”. The work then needs to be inspected after the work has been completed and the walls closed. Do not get caught buying an unpermitted home. This could cause problems in the future. This new development does not affect this home. Call to see this beautiful gem on the north end of Anna Maria. It will not last long.
