Enjoy your own private screened pool, an open rear setting with no immediate rear neighbor, and the freedom of NO HOA in this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath Apollo Beach home. Backing to the former golf course, the property offers a unique sense of openness and privacy that's increasingly hard to find. An added circular driveway and extensive low-maintenance rock landscaping enhance the curb appeal while providing plenty of additional parking, while irrigation serves the front landscape beds. Inside, the open layout creates an easy flow between the main living and entertaining spaces. The remodeled kitchen is at the heart of the home and features abundant cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, generous prep space, and a large breakfast bar overlooking the living area. Updated bathrooms, tile flooring, replaced windows, and a new whole-house intercom/music system are among the improvements throughout the home. Florida living takes center stage out back, where THREE SETS OF POCKET SLIDING DOORS connect the interior living spaces to the spacious screened pool and lanai, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining area. The lanai has been recently rescreened and includes a large covered area with plenty of room for outdoor dining, relaxing, and entertaining. Beyond the pool, the open land of the former golf course provides additional separation from neighboring homes and creates a private backyard setting. The pool has been resurfaced and features updated pool equipment and a solar pool-heating system. Major improvements include the roof (2022), water heater (2026), replaced windows, hurricane shutters, an updated electrical panel, and a brand-new garage door opener. Per the seller, the property has never experienced flooding, including during the recent major hurricanes. With NO HOA, a 2-car garage, private screened pool, extensive improvements, and a distinctive rear setting, this home offers an appealing combination of privacy, functionality, and indoor-outdoor Florida living. A short drive brings you to Apollo Beach waterfront dining, marinas, parks, recreation, and the Apollo Beach Nature Preserve.
