1012 Canal Street Ruskin, FL 33570

This spectacular custom waterfront home by architect 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 with SS appliances, 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, hot tub, wet bar and entertainment area, spare bedroom & bath. Roof decks also serve as entertainment areas with great views. Separate living quarters, called the “Boathouse” includes a bedroom/living room, 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.
