Welcome to your slice of laid-back Florida living in Apollo Beach - where space, privacy, and everyday comfort come together with no HOA! This home truly stands out, offering 3 bedrooms + a dedicated office - giving you the flexibility of a 4th bedroom option while maintaining a thoughtful, functional layout. Even better, it shows like new while being in an established neighborhood, giving you the best of both worlds. From the moment you arrive, you'll notice the charm of the screened front lanai, the three-car garage, and the welcoming feel of this home. Step inside to a bright, open layout with high vaulted ceilings and tile flooring throughout (no carpet anywhere) creating a clean, seamless flow that feels both spacious and inviting. The expansive open-concept living area is anchored by a huge kitchen that truly delivers. You'll love the abundant quartz countertop space, spacious pantry to stay organized, stainless steel appliances including a Bosch dishwasher (2024), and a gas range with hood vent. The living room is filled with natural light and offers beautiful views of the backyard, with sliding glass doors that open to the lanai-creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Just off the kitchen, the dining area provides the perfect space for gatherings, whether it's everyday meals or hosting friends and family. Just off the main living space, the private office/flex room offers the versatility to fit your needs - whether it's working from home, a hobby space, or a quiet retreat. The split-bedroom layout adds comfort and privacy. The primary suite offers direct access to the lanai, a nice sized bedroom with tray ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, and an elegant ensuite bath with double sinks and a large walk-in shower with multiple showerheads. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the home. Step outside and experience what truly sets this property apart. Both the front and back screened-in lanais let you enjoy Florida evenings comfortably - without the nuisance of any bugs - while the setting behind the home creates a true retreat. A pond backdrop, combined with the cool evening breezes drifting in from the bay, brings a sense of calm you'll look forward to every day. The expansive fenced backyard offers panoramic nature and wildlife views, creating the perfect space for relaxing, entertaining, or simply unwinding in your own private outdoor setting. Mature fruit trees add charm and a touch of Florida living right at home. Additional highlights include a laundry room with utility sink, and the peace of mind of a home that sits 12 feet above sea level with no history of storm or flood damage.
