1012 Canal St FL 33570

Fabulous as a Corporate Retreat, upscale VRBO or a great family residence, this spectacular custom waterfront home by designer Mike Calvino was built over a period of seven years at the head of the Little Manatee River to maximize the Florida lifestyle by inviting the outdoors in so that the views, beach, boating & the lifestyle would be totally unique for the owners' pleasure. Designed so the home would be almost maintenance free, the types of wood used to accent this design are eucalyptus & cypress, which require minimal maintenance & are resistant to the environment. The "floating" feel of the home is enhanced by the elevated kitchen, glass walkways & many windows. Entire waterfront view is screened. Built in furniture enhances the home & maintenance free lifestyle. Lower level under roof includes heated pool, SPA, entertainment area, spare bedroom & bath. Roof decks also serve as entertainment areas. Separate living quarters, called the "Boathouse" includes separate bedroom, bath & screened porch. Two boat lifts under cover make launching your crafts a breeze; the beach lends itself to launching your canoes, kayaks & catamarans. An architectural marvel, this home & its location are irreplaceable.
