Set along 72 feet of pond frontage in a gated Apollo Beach community, the 2015 Craftsman/Key West-style home has 5 bedrooms, a dedicated office, an upstairs loft, 4.5 baths and 3,567 heated square feet. A vinyl-fenced yard, covered front porch and attached 2-car garage complete the setting, with no CDD fee. The 2026 downstairs updates make an immediate impression, with newly installed upgraded wood-look luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main floor, a new kitchen and newly remodeled first-floor bathrooms featuring white quartz countertops, new cabinetry and hardware. Fresh interior and exterior paint completes the transformation. The soaring foyer leads into open living and dining areas that connect to the kitchen and family room. Tall doors, high ceilings, 6-inch baseboards and surround-sound prewiring add thoughtful details, while sliding glass doors lead to the screened lanai. The remodeled kitchen is a natural gathering place, with its large island and breakfast bar, new blue cabinetry, white quartz counters, under-cabinet lighting, pantry and eat-in space. New appliances, including a 2025 refrigerator and 2026 dishwasher, add practical updates. The laundry room has cabinetry, a deep sink and counter space.
