Manatee lovers and dolphin watchers, you have found your spot! 77 Ft of expansive Florida Waterfront property, situated on a large basin with expansive water views (NOT your typical canal view). This custom block home boasts 2,400 heated sq ft with 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms under a newer metal roof, installed in 2016. The HVAC system was recently replaced in 2018 and an energy efficient tankless gas water heater keeps those power bills low. As you enter the home you are greeted by cathedral ceilings that span the entire living space, from the open concept kitchen and dining, all the way into the living room and bonus room/office. The custom kitchen includes a massive 10 foot island with GE Monogram gas stove top with electric, self-cleaning convection oven and hood as well as a large walk-in pantry. The open floorplan is perfect for entertaining large groups, and the tall ceilings and oversized triple glass sliding doors allow for tons of natural light making the space feel even bigger. In the living area you will find a real wood burning fireplace and three 8 ft sliding glass doors that spill out onto a large screened-in lanai, perfect for that Florida indoor/outdoor living and entertaining. The split level floorplan gives the master bedroom plenty of privacy, with two bedrooms in the front of the home and the master on the back side. The master suite overlooks the spectacular water views with 3 large windows and French doors opening onto the lanai. The master suite also includes a large master bath with oversized shower, freestanding clawfoot tub and his and hers sinks. As you explore the backyard you are greeted with a large deck coming off the lanai, which offers amazing 180 degree waterfront views. The unique location of this home not only provides expansive water views, but it is also located directly across from a natural Florida spring that attracts manatees, dolphins and a wide variety of other wildlife. The backyard includes a privacy fence on both sides, mature palm trees, and plenty of space for a pool if you want to add one down the road. The dock includes a 10,000 pound boat lift, with electric service and running water. This home is a short bike ride to the Apollo Beach Preserve and beach area, close to Apollo Beach Park with basketball courts, water splash pad, volleyball courts, skateboard park and more. The sought after Apollo Beach community also has easily accessible restaurants like Circles Waterfront and Finn's Dockside, schools, shopping, parks, local attractions like the Manatee Viewing Center, and it's only a short drive to the award-winning Gulf beaches which makes this location ideal! This waterfront community has no HOA or CDD and is accessible by boat to restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. Schedule your private tour before it's gone!
