6081 Hidden Branch DriveApollo Beach, FL 33572Price: $499,000

Imagine waking to the soft ripple of water just beyond your backyard, where privacy wraps around you like a quiet promise. This Brighton model by Cardel Homes sits on a rare $20,000 premium water-view lot in Waterset, with no rear neighbors to interrupt the serene expanse. Builders no longer offer lots like this on 50-foot homesites, and you could not recreate this home today at this price. Priced to sell, it blends nearly new construction, modern efficiency, and award-winning quality, fresh from the 2025 Parade of Homes Grand Prize winner. Step onto the oversized screened lanai, extended for those lingering evenings of conversation or quiet reflection, with tranquil views unfolding ahead. TV and cable connections make it effortless to settle in with a game or sunset playlist. Inside, wood-look porcelain tile guides you through an open layout that feels expansive yet intimate. The gourmet kitchen anchors it all: Cambria quartz countertops gleam under upgraded lighting, a gas cooktop and wall oven invite family meals, and the extended island with soft-close cabinetry and walk-in pantry keeps everything within reach. A wine and beverage refrigerator waits for your favorites, while surround sound wiring threads through the living room, primary suite, and lanai, setting the stage for easy gatherings. The primary suite unfolds as your private sanctuary, with a freestanding soaking tub, floor-to-ceiling tiled shower, and custom closet touches that turn routine into ritual. Tray ceilings grace the foyer, 8-foot doors frame every entry, and thoughtful details such as a floor outlet in the living room, a security system, and laundry plumbing for a sink elevate daily life. Post-builder refinements shine through: upgraded fixtures and fans, auto shades on sliders and the dining window, porcelain tile in bedrooms and den, and a fully enclosed lanai. Three-plus bedrooms, two baths, and 2,010 square feet position you perfectly amid Waterset's vibrancy, minutes from the Sports Complex, new Town Center with dining, coffee, and shops.
