Are you searching for an affordable waterfront home in an active 55+ community? This is your chance. Tucked away in gated Caribbean Isles Residential Cooperative, this adorable, canal-front home requires NO lot rent as you own a share in the cooperative, where you will pay a more-than-reasonable maintenance fee of $184 per month. With more than 1400 square feet of space, you can stretch out and enjoy the true Florida Lifestyle, surrounded by country charm. When you visit, note the French doors as you enter the home from the screened in patio. You'll love the open, updated kitchen with the tiled-counter breakfast bar and bead board walls. The extended living room opens up the kitchen into a great room. With built-in additional shelving, you'll find more than enough room for the many books you might have been putting off reading, supplies for crafts, games, hobbies, or for special dinnerware for entertaining friends. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, one that is an ensuite with a walk-in shower. Check out the custom ceiling treatment in the master bedroom. With 80 feet of canal at your back door, you can build your own dock if that is included in your dream of a Florida home or getaway. There is also an alcove in which to park your golf cart, or to use as a front patio. Storage for boats, RV's and water toys is also available for only $120 per year, per space. Caribbean Isles is especially suited to the seasonal, as well as the year-round retired, or soon to be retired, resident. When you aren't taking advantage of the gorgeous Florida weather yourself, you can rent out your home (for a minimum of one month) between October and May. The home comes fully furnished, so you'll only need to pack your clothes to move in. Included in the sale is a TV in each bedroom, with a 70" TV in the living room. The roof is only 5 years old. The LG washer dryer combo has been another recent addition. You'll find a storage shed onsite as well. The community amenities include a clubhouse, with library, game and craft room, a heated pool, on-site laundry if you need it, a lagoon park, and 6 miles of roads over which to ride your bike. Take your golf cart on a trip to visit neighbors or to go to the many social activities. Social gatherings include free coffee and donuts on Thursday mornings. Other recent social events include BBQ's, Vegas Night (twice in 2022), Bingo, Stake Shoot, Valentines Dance, New Years Eve party, Penny Social, Christmas Party, and numerous offsite ventures to restaurants and tourist attractions. During the Fall and Winter season, food trucks will come to the park so residents can take a night off from cooking. Affordable waterfront living is available now. Come out and take a look, you won't be disappointed. A charming home in an active 55+ community, in beautiful Apollo Beach on Florida's West Coast, is waiting.
