This exquisite 6-bedroom+office, 5-bathroom home boasts a 3-car garage and spans 5,333 sqft in the prestigious community of Andalucia. This enclave offers both direct and indirect bayfront residences, beginning with a manned security gate that leads to an impressive royal palm-lined boulevard.
Upon entering, you will instinctively slow down to admire the statement-setting bayfront homes. Turn towards the waterfront tennis courts (pickleball coming soon) and the prvt event space featuring a pool and updated playground. Past the private beach jetty, you will arrive at your Oasis, positioned in a protected, tranquil corner of Andalucia, offering multiple panoramic water views from several balconies. The home sustained zero damage from recent storms, thanks in part to its new tile roof installed in 2022 with a transferable warranty.
As you approach via the paver stone circular driveway, you are greeted by a commanding glass double front door. Turn around to see the shimmering water captivating your gaze for a moment. Inside, polished travertine marble floors connect the formal dining room and formal living room, framed by large 12-foot ceilings and a wall of glass doors leading to a unique feature: a large open-air heated pool and spa with an outdoor kitchen. Enjoy year-round entertainment by closing the shutters and adjusting the temperature to your preference.
Adjacent to the owner's suite is an office, and continuing through, you will reach the spacious master suite with high ceilings, crown molding, and a wood-burning fireplace overlooking the pool. A short walk past two large walk-in closets leads to the luxurious master bathroom with a deep soaking tub and dual walk-in shower.
On to the kitchen, equipped with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances plus vent hood, surrounding a large center island, and a breakfast bar overlooking the family room with a fireplace. Enjoy your morning meal at the cozy kitchen table overlooking the pool, or lounge by the adjacent wet bar with Sub-Zero appliances and an ice machine. Three ample guest rooms and two bathrooms with polished travertine marble complete the main living floor.
Step through the plantation shuttered French doors, past the outdoor kitchen, and you will be captivated by another water view as you approach the private entry double door wood spiral staircase. Climb the stairs to discover an amazing 1,000+ sqft clubhouse, perfect for long-term guests, a man cave, sports bar, playroom, or hobby space. This space includes a wet bar/kitchenette, Sub-Zero ice maker and fridge, bathroom, bedroom, walk-in closet, and an ample outdoor balcony. The Brazilian cherry wood floor glows, bathed in light from numerous windows.
The private Andalucia Yacht Club offers convenient boat slips to lease or purchase, if available (reasonable fees apply).
Beyond the gates lies Apollo Beach's 63-acre nature preserve with a secret dog-friendly beach, two full-service marinas, and restaurants, including "Circles Waterfront," famous for its NYE fireworks show—billed as the largest in Florida since 2013. Additionally, you'll find a Publix Supermarket, Tampa Sailing Squadron, and a butcher shop just five minutes away.
Additional features include French doors, plantation shutters, landscape lights, a fountain, a built-in mosquito misting system, separate large garage storage area, water filtration, water softener, well sourced-irrigated landscaping, and motorized and non-motorized storm shutters.
