825 ISLEBAY DR, APOLLO BEACH, FL 33572 | 6 BEDROOMS | WATERFRONT | PRIVATE POOL | DOCK & 16,000-LB BOAT LIFT | 80 FT CANAL FRONTAGE | OWNED SOLAR Your days can begin with coffee overlooking the water and end with a sunset from the upstairs balcony. At this custom-built MiraBay waterfront home, boating, poolside afternoons and outdoor entertaining are part of everyday life.
Set along 80 feet of saltwater canal frontage with Tampa Bay access, the property pairs a private dock with electric and water service and a 16,000-pound boat lift with views toward a nature conservation preserve. Built in 2005, this 6-bedroom, 4 and a half bath residence spans 4,438 heated square feet, with room to gather and spaces to retreat.
French doors, high ceilings, crown molding and an open floor plan bring character to the main living areas. A dedicated first-floor office with built-ins creates a separate workspace, while a first-floor bedroom and full bath add flexibility for guests or multigenerational living.
The kitchen brings everyone together with an island, breakfast bar, stone counters and solid wood cabinetry. A six-burner gas cooktop, Jenn-Air double ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerator, built-in wine refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher support everything from casual meals to larger celebrations.
Built-in Sonos System speakers throughout the home and patio extend the atmosphere outdoors. Upstairs, the primary suite is a retreat of its own, with wood flooring, a gas fireplace, walk-in closet and French doors to a screened balcony overlooking the water.
Its updated bath has a freestanding soaking tub, custom shower, dual vanities and quartzite counters. Additional bedrooms include a Jack-and-Jill bath arrangement and a spacious bedroom with bamboo flooring, walk-in closet, private bath and access to the wraparound balcony.
Second-floor laundry with a sink adds everyday convenience. Outside, enjoy the heated in-ground pool and a convenient route from pool time to boating time. One half bath is located near the pool. The dock and lift make it easy to keep the waterfront lifestyle close to home, while the canal and preserve create a memorable setting for outdoor dining or simply unwinding.
The home also has owned, paid-in-full solar panels, a mosquito control system, two newer AC units with UV lights and four cooling zones, and a pool heater described by the seller as recently replaced. An oversized two-car garage has epoxy flooring, custom cabinetry and overhead storage, complemented by a paver driveway.
The windows have plantation shutters. MiraBay adds even more ways to enjoy Apollo Beach, with a clubhouse, fitness center, community pools, playground, tennis courts, restaurant, community boat ramp and fishing opportunities. Golf carts are permitted under community rules, connecting another dimension of the neighborhood lifestyle.
***** WHAT THE SELLER LOVES Watching sunsets from the balcony, spotting dolphins, manatees and coastal birds near the preserve, and having the freedom to head out on the boat or spend the afternoon by the pool. It's the combination of water views, outdoor gathering spaces and the MiraBay lifestyle that makes days here feel like a getaway.
