3 Bedroom Home For Sale in Bradenton Beach, FL

6805 Gulf Dr Holmes Beach, FL 34217

The story of this Ana Maria Island property is the tale of three different lives that can be led within its walls. One life has a single-family home with three bedrooms and two baths. The second life splits the property into a duplex with one bedroom, one bath on one side and two bedrooms and a bath on the other. Have renters on one side and you on the other. In the third life both sides are rented as income property. No matter which life you choose, simply walk across the street to enjoy incredible sunsets on white sand gulf coast beaches. Everything is nearby; marinas, boat launching and retail of all types. Spend the day at Ringling Museum, dine at five star restaurants or casual beach bistros. Golf by day, spend the evening at historic Asolo Theatre, the Sarasota Ballet, or a concert at Van Wezel. Enjoy art festivals, sidewalk cafes and trendy shops around St. Armands Circle. This duplex has a total of 1,608 square feet of living area with a great room, eat-in kitchen, bedrooms and bath on each side. Graceful palms, red-flowering Ixora, tropical hibiscus and variegated lirope encircle the property, forming a natural fence. A concrete patio runs the full length of the back of the duplex and provides room for delicious summer barbeques. Each unit also has a utility shed for yard tools or beach toys. Both units are fully furnished and ready to rent. You will really enjoy a breezy evening with a beverage on the covered front porch. Even a coastal thunderstorm has an exhilarating charm as it falls across the sand and returns to the sea. And there is nothing known that is as refreshing as a walk along the beach with a summer shower gently massaging away your stress and worries. Live here full-time or part-time, you will love it any time!
