Waterfront Living Without Compromise | 170 Feet of Seawall | Direct Tampa Bay Access If you've been searching for the ultimate Apollo Beach boating property, this is the one that checks every box....with views of St Pete from your backyard! No HOA, no CDD. Perfectly positioned on an oversized corner cul-de-sac lot on coveted Bal Harbor Island, this waterfront pool home boasts approximately 170 feet of seawall, a 48-foot long, wrap around, deep-water dock, and a 13,000-pound boat lift; providing ample space for your cabin cruiser, offshore fishing boat, sailboat, jet skis, kayaks, and all the water toys that make Florida living unforgettable. From your backyard, enjoy direct, no-bridge access to Tampa Bay in minutes. Cruise to waterfront restaurants, spend the day fishing the bay, watch dolphins and manatees play in the canal, or simply relax as the annual holiday boat parade glides past your dock. Inside, this renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom pool home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space. A nearly complete remodel transformed the home into a modern coastal retreat, including impact windows throughout, a newer roof, HVAC system, plumbing, electrical, insulation, drywall, water heater, garage door, and more. The heart of the home is the stunning open-concept great room featuring a redesigned chef's kitchen with a large center island, abundant cabinetry, and seamless flow into the living and dining spaces. Wood-look ceramic tile flooring extends throughout the entire home, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance design with no carpet anywhere. Four pocket sliding glass doors invite the outdoors in, opening to a spacious covered lanai and screened pool enclosure surrounded by elegant travertine pavers. Whether entertaining guests or enjoying quiet evenings by the water, this home was designed to maximize its incredible waterfront setting and capture refreshing coastal breezes year-round. The expanded owner's retreat serves as a private sanctuary, complete with a spa-inspired en-suite bath featuring a zero-entry shower, private water closet, walk-in closet, and direct access to the pool and waterfront through its own pocket slider. Additional highlights include EV charging capability in the garage, a palm-lined pavered driveway, crown molding, recessed lighting, updated dock and seawall improvements, and a higher elevation than many neighboring homes, providing added peace of mind. With no HOA, no CDD fees, and a location just minutes from waterfront dining, the Apollo Beach Nature Preserve, and the Manatee Viewing Center, this is more than a home; it's a front-row seat to the Florida boating lifestyle you've been dreaming about. Waterfront dining is a local favorite, with several restaurants accessible by boat for a truly coastal experience. Healthcare options include nearby South Bay Hospital, Brandon Regional Hospital, and a wide range of medical providers throughout the South Shore area. With quick access to I-75, commuting to Tampa, Sarasota, and Orlando is easy, and Tampa International Airport is within comfortable driving distance.
