This elevated two bedroom, two bath half duplex home in Holmes Beach offers an ideal beach getaway with the added benefit of allowing weekly rentals and no HOA. Situated on a quiet cul de sac, it's just a block away from Beach Access #69. The home features a front deck, perfect for morning coffee, and a back deck for evening cocktails, complete with a stairway leading to a private backyard. Both decks have been updated with Trex decking, known for its durability and longevity, often lasting many years. The backyard also provides ample space for a future pool. Inside, the home boasts a combined living and dining room and a pass through kitchen. The primary bedroom includes a walk in closet with a stackable washer/dryer, and the second bedroom and bath are conveniently adjacent to the primary. Recent updates enhance the home's appeal and functionality, including a new AC in 2018, newer kitchen appliances, newer kitchen cabinetry and waterproof vinyl flooring throughout. Significant exterior upgrades were completed in 2021, such as a new metal roof, Hardie board siding, and impact windows and doors. Hardie board siding (fiber cement siding) is recognized for its durability and resistance to weather, pests and fire. Impact windows and doors offer benefits such as enhanced security, noise reduction, increased energy efficiency and protection against extreme weather, potentially increasing property value and lowering insurance costs. A 6 foot privacy fence was also added in 2021. The ground floor features a garage with tandem parking for two cars or space for one car and a golf cart or bikes. Additionally, a non conforming space offers flexibility for an office, art studio or other uses. This home is centrally located in Holmes Beach, providing easy access to local shops, restaurants, a dog park, a marina and the 63rd Street boat ramp. Holmes Beach, in the middle of Anna Maria Island, is known for its pristine public beaches and offers various activities and attractions.
