5228 Brighton Shore Dr., Apollo Beach, FL 33572

This home is spacious, versatile, and pristine. The great room features a built-in speaker system and a 21-foot ceiling with a fan. Two sets of French doors and four skylight windows—all facing Northwest—allow for plenty of light throughout the day and colorful views at sunset. A large gourmet kitchen opens to the great room on one side and connects to the dining room on the other. The kitchen comes with wooden cabinets, granite countertops, a double sink, breakfast bar, and cooking island. The dining room’s hardwood floor is in great condition. It matches the hardwood floor in the office across the foyer. The dining room is large enough to serve as a living room, especially since a separate dinette/breakfast area is large enough to accommodate lunch and dinner. The master bedroom has a hardwood floor too. So does an oversized walk-in closet on the other side of a large master bathroom. The master bathroom has been recently remodeled. It comes with two sinks, panoramic mirrors, and separate bathtub and shower stall. All full bathrooms feature granite countertops. The half bathroom next to the staircase has also been recently remodeled. It now features a marble countertop and custom wood base. The staircase with wooden handrails leads to a semi-enclosed loft area on the second floor. This is a true bonus room capable of accommodating a wide variety of uses, from a media room to a second office, to a formal family room. There is a second full bathroom here. Three large bedrooms take up three corners of the second floor. One bedroom has a walk-in closet. The others have access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Each bedroom gets plenty of light through its large windows. All windows, including glass doors, come with plantation shutters and fasteners for hurricane shutters. Installed in 2018, these hurricane shutters are currently stored in the garage. There is plenty of storage room there, as it accommodates three cars. The garage also contains a 50-gallon gas water heater: a 2016 Rheem. There is a relatively new HVAC system on each floor: a 2019 Carrier on the first floor and a 2017 Carrier on the second floor. A large front porch opens to a front yard with well-groomed palm trees and colorful tropical shrubs. An even larger lanai on the other side of the home faces a sizable, level back yard. A tall fence around the backyard is lined with beautiful palm trees for privacy. The lot is almost a quarter acre. MiraBay is a waterfront master-planned community with a fitness center, spa, and clubhouse and with tennis, basketball, and volleyball courts. The pool area feels like a resort and includes a large, heated pool with 26-foot slide, which connects to another pool with lap lanes. There is a poolside café where you can have a bite or beverage. You can also enjoy kayaking and paddle boarding in the lagoon. There are community trails and parks. Residents enjoy 24-hour security, including a gate. Only one mile from Tamiami Trail and six miles from I-75, MiraBay is five minutes to Apollo Beach Golf Club, 10 minutes to Apollo Beach Marina, 30 minutes to downtown Tampa and Bradenton, and 45 minutes to downtown St Petersburg and Sarasota. World-renowned Florida beaches are just around the corner. AS IS. ALL MEASUREMENTS APPROXIMATE.
