About this home
This casually elegant waterfront residence offers an exceptional blend of refined craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and effortless coastal living. With more than 4,000 square feet, this custom-built Key West-style home is thoughtfully designed with both grand entertaining spaces and intimate areas for relaxing and enjoying the waterfront setting. At the heart of the home, the oversized gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring separate Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer, Wolf gas range with griddle and grill, double ovens, warming drawer, two dishwashers, an expansive center island, and a generous walk-in pantry. The great room and formal dining room strike the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, while the inviting parlor, complete with fireplace, offers a cozy retreat for quiet evenings or casual entertaining. Exceptional attention to detail is evident throughout, from the 8-foot solid wood doors, deep baseboards, and custom crown molding to the beautifully paneled office and private elevator. Additional highlights include a dedicated wine storage room with wrought-iron gates, wet bar, butler’s pantry, exercise room, poolside bar and summer kitchen, oversized three-car garage, and a truly impressive workshop. Outdoor living is equally exceptional, with a waterfront deck overlooking the Intracoastal and a private 55+ foot boat slip directly behind the residence, complete with a 12,000-pound lift. Spend afternoons on the water, entertain poolside, or unwind as the sun sets over the Intracoastal. For those who love the beach and the charm of coastal communities, historic Cortez is just one mile from Anna Maria Island, putting the island’s beautiful beaches within minutes. A rare combination of craftsmanship, comfort, waterfront living, and an enviable location, this exceptional residence must be experienced in person to fully appreciate all it has to offer.
