DEEP-WATER BOATING ACCESS, NO FIXED BRIDGES TO TAMPA BAY, A DEEP-END POOL, AND APPROXIMATELY 79FT OF CANAL FRONTAGE! NO HOA OR CDD! Welcome to the Florida waterfront lifestyle in much sought after Apollo Beach! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-car garage home offers 1, 814 sqft of updated living space on nearly .25 acres along a wide, brackish-water canal. When it’s time to take your boat out, around here we call it “a one-beer-out” ride to Tampa Bay! Step through the double-door entry & the welcoming foyer into a home that has undergone substantial updating! Wood-look plank tile flows throughout much of the main living space, complemented by crown molding, updated finishes and abundant natural light! The front living area offers plenty of flexibility as an entertaining space, billiard room (as shown), or an additional gathering area! Meanwhile the dining room opens directly to your covered lanai, pool, and canal! At the heart of the home is the updated kitchen featuring shaker cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops with abundant counter space, and stainless appliances! A large pass-through window above the kitchen sink keeps the pool & that waterfront in view and makes serving food & drinks to the lanai a breeze! Recessed lighting & a peninsula overlook the adjoining family room, which provides even more gathering space! BONUS: It also opens directly to the outdoor living area! The primary bedroom enjoys its own lanai access and an en-suite bath featuring a tub/shower combination plus an additional walk-in shower! All three bedrooms feature attractive newer LVP flooring! The second full bath doubles as the highly desirable pool bath, with a tiled walk-in shower and direct access to the lanai! Perfect after a day of swimming, boating or enjoying the Florida sunshine! BUT OUTSIDE IS WHERE THIS PROPERTY REALLY DELIVERS! The expansive covered lanai offers plenty of room for al fresco dining, entertaining, relaxing with a cocktail, or simply enjoying the pool & canal views beyond. And unlike similar local waterfront properties, there is an impressive amount of usable backyard between the home and canal! Boaters will appreciate approximately 79ft of a wide, deep-water, sailboat-capable canal! NO FIXED BRIDGES BETWEEN YOU AND TAMPA BAY! The existing dock was lost during the 2024 hurricanes, but the pilings survived. An electrical run & box also remain at the former dock location, giving you an opportunity to design a waterfront setup suited to your desires! (Subject To County Permitting Requirements.) MEANWHILE THE SELLERS CONTINUE TO INVEST IN THE PROPERTY! A BRAND-NEW WATER HEATER has just been installed! With an acceptable offer, sellers will consider completing professional backfilling and compaction behind the seawall where needed prior to closing! 2024 hurricanes also destroyed the screen pool cage, damaged pool tiles, and also the pool light. Areas of the existing shingle roof were also damaged. The roof has not/is not leaking! FULL ROOF REPLACEMENT is insurance-approved and scheduled to be completed prior to closing. HOME HAS BEEN JUSTIFIABLY PRICE POSITIONED PER THE LIKELY RENOVATIONS. This home is the essence of the Apollo Beach waterfront lifestyle YOU came here looking for! POOL! YOUR BOAT! GREAT FISHING on the open waters of TAMPA BAY just beyond your backyard! Bring your vision & make the remaining touches your own!
