Beautiful Island Duplex

Avenue B Duplex

Description

Elevated Coastal Duplex with Rooftop Water Views, Private Pool & Exceptional Income Potential

This versatile 6-bedroom, 4-bath property offers the ultimate blend of lifestyle flexibility and strong rental opportunity, just a short stroll to the sugar-white Gulf beaches and steps from Herb Dolan Park with pickleball and basketball courts, kayak launch, and waterfront green space. The location alone places this property in one of the most desirable and high-demand rental areas on the island, making it equally appealing as an investment or personal coastal escape. Configured as a duplex with two spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath units, the elevated construction provides both privacy and durability, along with multiple private balconies and exceptional outdoor living. The upper residence features dramatic vaulted ceilings that create an open, airy coastal feel filled with natural light. A unique loft space adds architectural character and flexibility—perfect for a reading nook, additional sleeping area, or office—and leads directly to a rooftop deck showcasing incredible water views. Whether enjoying sunset cocktails or morning coffee, this elevated outdoor retreat truly captures the essence of island living. Designed for relaxation and entertainment, the home includes a private covered cocktail pool area ideal for cooling off after a long day at the beach. Multiple balconies extend the living areas outdoors, while the elevated design enhances privacy and captures refreshing coastal breezes. Vacation renters consistently prioritize properties offering private pools and rooftop views, giving this home a distinct competitive advantage in the thriving Anna Maria Island rental market. Another standout feature is the additional rear alley access, providing both convenience and privacy. The property includes two separate single-car garages, each with access from either the front or the rear of the home. This dual-access design offers flexible entry options for owners and guests, enhances privacy between units, and adds meaningful functionality for full-time living or vacation rental operations. All the heavy lifting has already been completed, allowing the next owner to focus on personal touches and interior customization. Recent upgrades include new hurricane impact windows and doors, two new high-efficiency AC systems, two new water heaters, a roof installed in 2019, and fresh interior and exterior paint. With major capital improvements already addressed, this is a move-in-ready opportunity with long-term value and peace of mind built in. The property offers exceptional flexibility: operate as a high-performing duplex in one of the island's strongest rental corridors, convert it into a spacious single-family coastal rental or family retreat, or live in one unit while renting the other to offset ownership costs. Properties this close to the beach offering six bedrooms, rooftop water views, a private pool, and dual-access garages rarely come to market in this condition and at this price point. This is a rare opportunity to secure location, income potential, and long-term upside in one compelling island property.
