Seamless Style. Timeless Design. Waterfront Perfection. Discover 6928 26th Street West, a striking 1970s California Modern home discreetly tucked along Sarasota Bay at the end of a quiet dead-end road. This one-of-a-kind residence blends mid-century character with extraordinary bayfront scenery—featuring nearly 230 feet of waterfront, including wide-open southern bay views plus coveted access to a deep-water canal along the side. Designed in true mid-century fashion, this tri-level floorplan maximizes space and provides exceptional flexibility. Upon entering, you’re immediately drawn toward the sparkling bay through the stately living room with soaring vaulted ceilings. Hurricane-impact windows and sliders frame the panoramic views while providing peace of mind. A spacious kitchen, dinette, pantry, and guest half bath sit just off the main living area, while stairs lead upward to the third-level sleeping quarters. The generous second and third bedrooms—along with a full guest bath and abundant storage—are thoughtfully situated before the private primary suite. Here, the owner enjoys some of the home’s very best views: a serene retreat where sunrise moments and morning coffee become a daily ritual. A previous deck was removed, yet sliders remain in place to allow for a custom balcony addition of your choice. From the main level, interior stairs lead to a versatile full mother-in-law suite, ideal to reimagine as an entertainment lounge, game room, or extended-stay guest quarters. This level offers a full bedroom, additional kitchen, accessible full bath, and expansive living and studio space, along with multiple access points to the outdoor pool deck. The outdoor areas invite year-round enjoyment with a classic red-brick pool deck perfect for gatherings, relaxation, or soaking in the sweeping waterfront backdrop. Another standout feature is the detached “Boat House”—a dynamic flex space suited for a home business, hobby studio, guest overflow, or storage. Complete with mini-split A/C systems, a roll-up garage door, and two large storage rooms, it sits directly alongside the canal for unmatched boating convenience. The grounds have been largely upgraded with crisp washed shell for a clean, tropical aesthetic and low-maintenance lifestyle. A dedicated fenced dog run accommodates pets, while manicured mangroves preserve the unobstructed bay views. Additional landscaping or hardscaping could create the ultimate secluded oasis. Best of all, the property offers unbeatable proximity to Anna Maria Island, Downtown Bradenton, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, Downtown Sarasota, plus shopping, dining, and medical facilities. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly unique waterfront property—one that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.
