Ilexhurst Homes for Sale in Bradenton Beach - 23 homes

Remarks: ~~~ PRICE DROP ~~~ Rarely available waterfront opportunity directly on the scenic Intracoastal Waterway in Bradenton Beach. This charming Old Florida–style cottage is filled with character, warmth, and breathtaking water views. One of the true highlights of this property is the ability to keep your boat right out back and enjoy immediate access to the Intracoastal’s beautiful, navigable waters. Tucked away on quiet and little-known Canasta Street—just one block long—this home offers privacy and a true island feel that many don’t even realize exists. The three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath residence has not been part of a rental program for over eight years and has been lovingly enjoyed as a private island getaway. The property is being sold as is and presents an exceptional opportunity to renovate and restore its coastal charm or start fresh and build the island home of your dreams. Whether you envision a personal retreat or a high-performing vacation rental, the potential here is undeniable. An additional opportunity exists, as the neighboring property to the south at 2306 Canasta, also a 9,000-square-foot waterfront parcel, is available from the same owner and may be purchased together. Combine both parcels for an extraordinary 18,000 square feet of prime Intracoastal waterfront—a truly rare chance to create something exceptional on Anna Maria Island.

Remarks: 2111 Avenue B – Easy, Classic Island Living! Welcome to effortless island living in the heart of Anna Maria Island’s beloved “Avenues” neighborhood. Perfectly positioned between the Gulf and the Bay, this home blends timeless Old Florida charm with thoughtful modern updates and resilient construction designed for coastal living. Built of solid concrete block construction, this single-level residence showcases original terrazzo floors throughout — beautifully preserved and classic to the era. Designed with flood-resilient improvements that deliver both durability and a little extra beachside peace of mind, the home features a new blue metal roof (2024), a complete whole-house replumb, updated electrical with raised outlets, and flood-cut friendly lower wall construction for efficient replacement if ever needed. Durable materials and smart design create both confidence and easy maintenance. The kitchen offers a modern yet whimsical vibe with stainless steel counters, a new retro-style refrigerator, and new appliances that perfectly compliment the home’s coastal mid-century character. The updated bathrooms continue the elevated, easy-care aesthetic with frameless shower panels, a floor-mounted pedestal sink, blue sea glass tile accents, and the restoration of the original tub — offering both shower functionality and soaking convenience. Inside, the home features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a private ensuite, along with a separate teen bunk room just off the kitchen that currently serves as a third sleeping area. This flexible space offers endless possibilities — from bonus room to expanded living area. The dedicated laundry room is thoughtfully positioned off the bunk room and includes a stacked washer and dryer and a large utility sink. Step outside and discover what truly sets this property apart — a generously sized, deep pool built when pools were designed for swimming. The surrounding stone paver deck was meticulously restored in 2024, each paver lifted and reset. The outdoor space provides ample room for sunbathing, grilling, dining, and entertaining, plus a convenient hot and cold outdoor shower for easy beach (and kid) clean-up. Longtimers call this special neighborhood “The Avenues.” Quiet streets stretch between the Gulf and Bay and lead to a waterfront park featuring a playground, basketball court, new pickleball facility, picnic areas with water views, and a kayak launch. You can easily reach your 10,000 steps without ever leaving the neighborhood. Beach sunsets are just 400 steps away. For sunrise and dolphin watching, the Bay is only 200 steps from your door. Easy. Classic. Timeless ** Property information received from third-party sources is considered reliable but is not guaranteed. All information should be independently verified by buyers and buyers agent.
