Set within the gated waterfront enclave of MiraBay in Apollo Beach, 718 Pinckney Drive sits on a deep saltwater canal with 160 feet of frontage and direct access to Tampa Bay, with no bridges or lifts between the dock and open water. Built in 2021 by Alimay Homes, the 4,355 square foot residence offers five bedrooms and five and a half baths. A wide front porch and custom glass entry open to a dramatic foyer beneath vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and detailed shiplap. Wide-plank wood flooring continues through both levels, lending warmth and continuity. A private home office with glass double pocket doors and a custom ceiling detail draws in natural light. At the heart of the home, the kitchen centers on a large island topped with 3 CM Taj Mahal Extra Leathered Quartzite, paired with a Mother-of-Pearl backsplash, JennAir appliances, a 36-inch induction cooktop and a Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher. A custom coffee bar with a built-in pot filler adds everyday convenience. The adjacent family room is anchored by a six-foot linear fireplace and opens through large pocketing sliders to the oversized covered lanai. The lanai is designed for year-round use, with remote-controlled privacy screens, defined outdoor living and dining zones, and nightly sunsets over the water. A custom outdoor kitchen, cabana and in-ground trampoline broaden the setting, while Key West-style hammocks by the water offer a quieter counterpoint. Each bedroom has its own en-suite bath, and the split floorplan includes an additional primary suite option, giving the layout a considered sense of privacy. The owner's suite is a refined retreat with a spa-inspired bath featuring a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in rain shower and dual vanities finished in Cambria Annicca Quartz, along with a fully custom walk-in closet with its own washer and dryer. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room and a guest suite with panoramic canal views add flexibility. The oversized three-car garage includes attic storage and a custom tackle room with a mini-split A/C system. A standing seam metal roof, impact-rated windows and doors, security cameras and a new whole-house 24kW Generac Guardian generator round out the home's protection. At the water, the private dock and 16,000 lb boat lift make spontaneous sunset cruises and early morning fishing trips part of the daily rhythm. Life in MiraBay means resort-style amenities, including a 10,000 square foot clubhouse, beach-entry pool with a 110-foot waterslide, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, cafe, lounge, splash pad and miles of paddle-friendly water. A full-time social director curates events that foster a genuine sense of community. I-75, dining, shopping, hospitals, golf courses, Tampa International Airport and Florida's finest beaches are all within minutes.
