Under contract-accepting backup offers. PRICE IMPROVEMENT & NEARLY NEW! Don't miss this exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully upgraded Brighton model by Cardel Homes in the highly sought-after Waterset community. Situated on a rare premium water-view homesite with no rear neighbors, this nearly new home offers a level of privacy and tranquility that is increasingly difficult to find. Builders no longer offer lots like this on 50-foot homesites, and this home cannot be replicated at today's construction costs.

Offering 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a flex room/den, and 2,010 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home blends modern luxury with everyday comfort. The open-concept floor plan features wood-look porcelain tile throughout, including the bedrooms and den, tray ceilings, and 8-foot interior doors.

The gourmet kitchen is designed to impress with Cambria quartz countertops, an extended island with soft-close cabinetry, walk-in pantry, gas cooktop, wall oven, upgraded lighting, and a wine/beverage refrigerator. The spacious great room and lanai are pre-wired for surround sound, creating the perfect setting for entertaining.

The owner's retreat offers a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding soaking tub, floor-to-ceiling tiled shower, dual vanities, and custom closet enhancements. Additional upgrades include motorized shades on the sliders and dining room window, upgraded fixtures and ceiling fans, security system, laundry room plumbing for a utility sink, and a floor outlet in the living room.

Step outside to the oversized screened lanai, fully enclosed and extended to maximize outdoor living while enjoying peaceful water views and breathtaking sunsets.

Located just minutes from Waterset's Sports Complex, community amenities, Town Center, restaurants, coffee shops, and shopping. Now offered at $489,000, this premium water-view home delivers outstanding value in one of Apollo Beach's most desirable communities.
