208 Flamingo Dr

Description

A private pool, fully owned solar panels, oversized corner lot, vaulted ceilings and no HOA give 208 Flamingo Drive the kind of easygoing Old Florida charm that is getting harder to find in Apollo Beach. With its single-story layout, mature palms, screened outdoor spaces and relaxed coastal feel, this home has the bones of a classic Florida cottage along with a great opportunity for the next owner to add their own finishing touches and make the space distinctly theirs. Inside, the main living and dining area feels open and airy, with vaulted ceilings adding volume and character. Neutral walls, tile flooring and ceiling fans create a practical foundation, while large sliding glass doors connect the interior to the expansive bonus/sunroom at the back of the home. Lined with windows and filled with natural light, this flexible space could become a second sitting room, home office, reading room, game room, creative studio or casual retreat overlooking the backyard. The kitchen offers abundant wood cabinetry, generous counter space, a double-basin sink, range, dishwasher and refrigerator. Its connection to the dining and living areas keeps the layout functional for everyday meals, serving guests or simply staying part of the conversation while cooking. For someone with a vision, this is also a home where thoughtful cosmetic updates could build on the existing character and create a more polished coastal cottage feel over time. The bedrooms offer comfortable private spaces, while the two full bathrooms include both a walk-in shower and a tub/shower combination. The attached one-car garage provides protected parking along with useful storage for tools, bikes, beach gear and outdoor equipment. Solar panels add another practical feature and may help offset household energy use, subject to the ownership and financing terms of the system. Outside is where the coastal-cottage character really comes to life. The screened lanai creates a shaded transition from the house to the backyard, giving you a comfortable place for morning coffee, casual dinners or evenings outdoors. Beyond it, the private in-ground pool becomes the centerpiece of the fenced yard, surrounded by a broad deck with room for lounge chairs, grilling and relaxed weekends by the water. The oversized corner lot leaves additional green space for gardening, pets or creating a lush tropical backdrop around the pool. Apollo Beach adds its own layer of coastal lifestyle, with access to local parks, nature areas, marinas, boating, waterfront dining and the broader Tampa Bay area. The setting complements the home’s laid-back character and gives the next owner plenty of room to lean into a true Florida cottage aesthetic. Lender Incentives Available!!
