242 OAK AVENUE

LUXURY GATED ANNA MARIA ISLAND ESTATE. This one-of-a-kind property on Florida’s Gulf Coast is located in the highly sought after city of Anna Maria. The spectacular home occupies a unique 18590 sq ft triangular property and has over 500 feet of water frontage projecting directly into the pristine waters of Bimini Bay. Every detail of this 2020 custom home was carefully designed to take full advantage of this very special location, steps from the beaches of Anna Maria, yet with deep water boating and no bridges to the Gulf of Mexico. With water views from every window the peaceful ambiance of this location provides a private retreat only for the most discerning of buyers. Entering through private gates into the lush tropical courtyard you will see the bridge connecting the primary home to the guest house. If you walk the exterior, you will see the inlet with a 12,000 lb boat lift next to a 60ft dock for your cruiser. The size of the property allows for the resort like pool with fire and waterfalls, a man-made sandy beach and a spectacular fire pit at the tip of the property. All safely protected by the reinforced concrete seawall. The gated breezeway leading from the Courtyard to the pool also leads to the elevated main floor via the solid walnut staircase or the Vertech residential glass walled elevator. Then it is all about THE VIEW - uninterrupted and spectacular! The only one of its kind on Anna Maria Island. The effort that has been put into the design of this warm and inviting home is obvious. Vaulted beamed ceilings, lighting that floats above the kitchen in a bamboo and stainless steel frame suspended with barely visible aircraft cables. But it is the truly spectacular views that demand your attention. From the Great Room looking over the gourmet Kitchen and beyond, the massive covered lanai, your swimming pool and landscaped gardens lies the pristine waters of Bimini Bay. Modern architectural design puts the kitchen as the central hub of the home and this Showpiece Kitchen is an entertainer’s delight. Guests can watch the chef while seated at the lit glass kitchen countertop, custom designed for this home by ThinkGlass from Montreal. The imported cabinets from Hutton Beilman Design are manufactured from perfectly matching Bamboo with inset Walnut Pilasters. The Cambria Quartz & Bridgewater Stone flow seamlessly through the Cooking Island, the Expresso Station and the serving Bar. Walls are finished in a soft hand polished French Polynesian Faux finish while the oversized Elysium Travertine Floor flows seamlessly as you step from the Great Room through the fully retractable 20ft doors, to the spectacular covered Lanai. The huge 800 sq ft lanai is home to the outdoor kitchen, with its featured Teppanyaki Table, to the outdoor lounge area with its fire table and to the outdoor dining area overlooking the elevated spa and Bimini Bay. Captivated by the ever-changing water views imagine entertaining your friends while cooking fresh shrimp on the Teppanyaki or the Lynx Grill. This elegant outdoor kitchen has Quartzite Counter Tops and Neolith Stone Backsplash. A wonderful dinner for 8 can be enjoyed seated at the Teppanyaki or at the outdoor dining table. Retractable screens provide privacy and complete protection from the elements. Many describe the feeling of this property as stepping into a private island resort.
