6451 sunset bay circle

BETTER THAN WHEN IT WAS BUILT! From new tile, epoxy, and luxury vinyl plank floors to updated fans, fixtures, and other finishes, this thoroughly renovated townhome towers 4 stories above the waterfront in the upscale boating enclave of Sunset Bay! Your Florida lifestyle here can be truly low-maintenance -- not only because the 37-home association handles exterior work, water bills, pest control, flood insurance, and the exclusive residents pool beside the boat dock, but also because this unit has updated HVAC, LED lighting, quartz counters, stainless-steel appliances, fresh paint throughout, and more. (Current owners bought it a year ago to provide professional restoration from AC water damage during a vacant period. Today it really is improved from its start in 2005.) Nearly 3,100 SF, with a personal elevator in addition to stairs, includes 3 bedroom suites with 3 private baths plus a huge 4th-floor bonus of 2 rooms flexible for a 4th bed retreat, office, fitness center, entertainment loft, or whatever you may imagine. You'll find the kitchen, dining, and living rooms with a hallway lavatory on the 2nd floor, featuring a quartz-top dry bar in the dining area to complement the kitchen's quartz and wood style. These rooms with crown molding angle back toward a balcony porch looking southeast over the community's central pond. Like the balcony above it, part of the elegant 3rd-floor owner's suite, this sheltered outdoor space also boasts new tile, fans and screen. Below the balconies at ground level, an open 1st-floor porch with new epoxy floor gives you further options as well as a back door to the impressive garage, also newly epoxied. This garage is much larger than its single-wide overhead door suggests; it's a tandem design of more than 700 SF, the size of a 3-car garage, and it comes with internal side entry to the 1st-floor foyer, elevator, staircase and under-stair storage. A 3rd-floor washer/dryer closet, new window blinds, and a leaded-glass front door with sidelights are among other highlights here. Perhaps best of all, you're in Sunset Bay, a security-gated community with dock slips, deep-water canal access right beside the bay, and a great spot along Apollo Beach Boulevard near waterfront dining, shopping, services, recreation options, and easy routes up or down Florida's Gulf Coast!
