Welcome to Bamboo Bungalow, a rare canal-front island retreat showcasing timeless Old Florida charm on desirable Anna Maria Island. Perfectly positioned along a deep-water canal with quick access to Tampa Bay and the Gulf, this elevated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the ultimate island lifestyle for boaters, kayakers, and beach lovers alike. Natural light fills the bright, open-concept living space, where thoughtful updates blend seamlessly with the home's character-rich design. The beautifully updated kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, a large island, pantry, wine refrigerator, stainless steel appliances, and a unique stained-glass accent window. The inviting living area is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and enhanced by elegant crown molding throughout. Recent improvements provide peace of mind and exceptional value, including a new roof and chimney, new seawall, updated kitchen and bathrooms, LED lighting, wood flooring, paver driveway and walkways, and a spacious new ground-level game and entertainment room. One of the home's most beloved spaces is the Florida room, where you can enjoy morning coffee, family gatherings, or evening cocktails while overlooking the tranquil canal.

The generous primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with an en-suite bath and large walk-in closet. Two additional guest bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on the opposite side of the home, providing comfort and privacy for family and visitors. A dedicated laundry room offers additional storage, while the oversized two-car garage with epoxy flooring provides ample space for vehicles, beach gear, and water toys…and the must have golf cart!
