JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019 | TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE 117
Built on just under a half an acre of waterfront
property in the gated community of Mirabay in
Apollo Beach, this West Indies Colonial-inspired
home has five bedrooms, 4 ½ bathrooms and more
than 4,600 square feet of climate-controlled living space,
which includes a guest house. A red brick driveway leads
to the motor court’s guest parking area that is flanked by
an attached two-car air-conditioned garage and a second,
single car garage as well.
The combination living room/dining room area has
wood floors and tongue-and-groove crossbeam ceilings.
This spacious room was designed for formal entertaining
and dining and has a wood-burning fireplace. Three sets of
glass paneled French doors open to the home’s sprawling
covered porch with views of the pool and lagoon, from
which there is boating access to the waters of Tampa Bay.
