519 Blue Heron Dr, Anna Maria, FL 34216

Anna Maria Island's most exceptional home, nestled on the banks of Bimini Bay amongst a forest of perfectly trimmed mangroves, soaring palms, flowering frangipani, and Australian pines. With its cul-de- sac location you'll enjoy more privacy than you ever thought possible on the island! Designed by Seibert Architects, an award-winning Sarasota firm, this impressive home features more than 12,000 square feet under roof, and over 5,800 square feet under air on three floors, all accessible via elevator. Outdoor entertaining options abound, with a 650 square foot covered front porch, an elevated gazebo with views of the bay, a spacious poolside patio area, a boardwalk that winds its way through mangroves, and a 68' dock that offers plenty of room for dining al fresco. Interior spaces include a grand kitchen and family room, a living/dining room with over 1000 square feet, and beautiful views over the bay. Located on the third floor, the master bedroom suite includes a large sun deck, loft, and sitting area, while a 2nd floor guest room measuring 26x13 could be used as a second master suite. With family all grown the owners needed few bedrooms, but worked with the architects to insure new owners could make easy changes to add more, alterations which would give the house a total of 5 large bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths. With no design detail overlooked, this home is a model of function and form, a true island treasure awaiting a very particular buyer. Additional photos upon request!
