506 Winterside Dr., Apollo Beach, FL 33572

BRAND-NEW 10 MONTHS AGO, this high-quality, low-maintenance home delivers even more than the extensive advantages of beautiful MiraBay! It faces a village green in the security-gated enclave called The Cottages, where lawn care, water/sewer bills and trash removal are provided along with access to the community’s resort-style amenities. This neotraditional neighborhood welcomes you to front porches instead of garages, which are detached in back. And in this case, what’s back is much more than a garage big enough for 3 cars – because it includes a 600-sf, 2nd-floor suite! This bonus space offers a full bath and kitchenette, so it’s perfect for guests or in-laws, a teen retreat, a private studio or anything you imagine. Nearly 1,600 sf in the main home, meanwhile, “lives even larger” because of the wide-open, great-room design by Cardel. Gorgeous tile floors lead from the front door to this breathtaking space under soaring ceilings. You’ll find a living/family area, den/flex area, separate dining area – and a kitchen complete with walk-in pantry, granite counters, island serving bar, gas range and other stainless-steel appliances, decorator fixtures, and raised-panel birchwood cabinets with crown molding. The same cabinets and counters are in all 3 bathrooms, not just the luxury bath attached to the master bedroom. Both the master and the secondary bed/bath pairing are in front on opposite sides of the foyer. The covered, brick-pavered porch in front is complemented by a similar patio in back. See it today!
