Property Description

Discover the ultimate Florida waterfront lifestyle in this extensively renovated coastal ranch, perfectly positioned on a saltwater canal with direct Gulf access and no fixed bridges. Located just minutes from Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key, this home offers effortless boating, fishing, dolphin watching, and sunset cruising from your private backyard. A true boater’s paradise, the property features 93 feet of seawall, a 15,000-lb covered private boat lift, and a double jet ski lift, providing quick access to the Intracoastal Waterway, Sarasota Bay, waterfront restaurants, and world-class fishing. Originally a three-bedroom home, the residence was thoughtfully re-imagined into a spacious two-bedroom layout with an enlarged primary suite and open-concept flow; a third bedroom can easily be added. A complete down-to-the-studs renovation began in 2017 and continued through 2018, delivering all-new systems, drywall, ceilings, electrical, plumbing, and structural upgrades throughout. Luxury finishes define the interiors, including seamless terrazzo flooring, crystal-accented granite, Azurite stone slabs, and curated exotic stone selections. A glazed ceramic tile roof, steel beam reinforcement, reinforced block construction with rebar, impact glass, generator, and wind mitigation report provide durability, efficiency, and lower insurance costs. The home was unaffected by the 2024 hurricanes and appraised above list price. The gourmet kitchen is designed for entertaining and performance cooking, featuring dramatic Azurite stone countertops, a waterfall island, full-height backsplash, wine bar, propane gas conversion, and a Wolf hood vented through the roof—ideal for preparing fresh catch without lingering odors. Four hurricane-rated sliding glass doors open to a screened, heated saltwater pool and spa, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The self-cleaning pool, propane spa heater, and underwater lighting provide comfort and ambiance year-round. An elevated terrace finished in rare onyx, mature palms, and full irrigation complete the private outdoor retreat. The primary suite offers a tranquil escape with morning light, porcelain wood-look flooring, custom walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath clad in striking Patagonia Quartzite, featuring a rain shower, body jets, and handheld sprayer. Graber designer shades add privacy and sophistication. Additional features include a Hardie plank storage shed, vinyl fencing with double gates, and ample outdoor storage. The home is offered furnished (available separately). Ideally located in Bradenton, just 12 miles to downtown Sarasota and 5 miles to SRQ Airport, with nearby access to GT Bray Park pickleball courts, Robinson Preserve biking trails, local markets, golf, beaches, and the historic Cortez fishing village. 4911 Bimini Drive delivers luxury waterfront living, modern systems, and true Gulf access—an exceptional opportunity for discerning coastal buyers. Video and 3D tour available.
