Property Description
Venture into the elite, coastal community of MiraBay and discover your own piece of paradise, perfectly positioned on an over-sized corner lot with both water and park views. Beautifully landscaped with more than 24 palm trees, this impressive single-story home offers privacy, serenity, and stunning surroundings and set across the water from a lushly landscaped park on a quiet cul-de-sac. From the moment you step inside, the home makes a statement. A custom tile inlay in the foyer, elegant arched entryways, and thoughtfully curated finishes create an immediate sense of warmth and sophistication that will “wow” you and your guests every time. The heart of the home is the expansive gourmet kitchen, designed for both everyday living and unforgettable gatherings. Featuring updated cabinetry, granite countertops, a designer backsplash, all-new stainless steel appliances, a wine bar, and a massive island with a custom granite table extension, this space was made for entertaining. Hosting holiday celebrations will never be the same, while friends and family cozy up by the gas fireplace with remote, others gather in the kitchen baking cookies, sipping hot chocolate, and creating memories that last a lifetime. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering tranquil water views, a fully remodeled spa-inspired bathroom, a custom-designed walk-in closet, and a bifolding glass door with screen that opens directly to the outdoor living space that’s perfect for embracing Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This thoughtfully designed home includes five bedrooms, all with ceiling fans, providing comfort and flexibility for family, guests, or home offices. Two additional bathrooms feature updated vanities, and specialty light fixtures throughout the home add a refined, designer touch. Outdoor living truly steals the show. Step through the sliders onto the expansive lanai featuring travertine flooring, a fully remodeled outdoor kitchen and grill area with refrigerator, sink, and separate ice machine, and a sparkling chlorine-based pool. While the property sits on a non-dockable lot, it delivers exceptional water views and peaceful park-front living—ideal for those who want the beauty of the waterfront without the need for boat access. Additional upgrades include: * Brand-new roof (January 2025) * Plantation shutters throughout the entire home (excluding garage window and lanai slider) * Updated laundry room cabinetry and countertops * New resin garage floor * Built-in garage storage racks * Finished attic space with drop-down steel ladder * Exterior garage keypad entry * Ring cameras on the front porch and rear lanai * Sprinkler system for the lawn and landscaping Select furnishings are negotiable, offering a rare opportunity to move in with ease and enjoy this exceptional home from day one. This home is designed for those who desire water views, space, and elegance without the need for water access. If that sounds like you… welcome home.
