Designed by celebrated architect Emily-Anne Smith, this distinctive home is recognized for its signature pink exterior, architectural integrity, and enduring coastal character. Set along a deep-water canal with direct access through Bimini Bay to Tampa Bay, the property offers seamless access to Florida waters for boating, sailing, and fishing. The setting feels intentionally residential and private, ideal for those seeking a refined second home or a full-time island residence designed for personal enjoyment rather than rental use.

A spacious screened porch overlooks protected mangroves, creating a naturally private backdrop and a peaceful connection to the island environment. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, custom millwork, and a classic Craftsman-style fireplace highlight the quality and intention behind the original design. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with a 6-burner WOLF range, SUB-ZERO refrigerator, BOSCH dishwasher, granite countertops, and a vegetable sink, offering a well-appointed foundation for both everyday living and entertaining. The upper level features a versatile loft that includes a bedroom with ensuite bath, a recreation or lounge area, and a charming hidden treehouse retreat, adding character and flexibility to the home's layout. The floor plan, construction quality, and architectural details provide an exceptional opportunity for a new owner to thoughtfully tailor the space to their own taste while preserving its timeless coastal appeal. With its architectural pedigree, deep-water boating access, and quiet residential setting, this home invites a new owner to build upon its legacy and create a personalized island retreat that will endure for years to come.
