$759,000 4 bedrooms | 3 full baths | 2,885 square feet | single story | MiraBay MLS TB8532236
The sellers say the kitchen island is where everyone ends up, before the party drifts outside to the pool. That is a good summary of this house: an open, single-story Key West-style home in MiraBay built around the kitchen and the backyard.
5226 Brighton Shore Drive has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, 2,885 square feet, a heated pool, a 14 by 24 bonus room, a front office, and a brand-new roof from August 2025 with a lifetime transferable warranty.
The kitchen
The kitchen has stone countertops, solid wood cabinets, a large center island, a built-in oven, a gas cooktop, a big pantry and plenty of counter space. It opens to the family room, and there is reverse osmosis water filtration at the kitchen sink.
The pool and backyard
French doors open to a screened lanai, a brick paver patio, an outdoor grilling area and a heated pool. The pool heater was upgraded in 2023.
One level, with room to spread out
Everything is on one floor. The primary suite has a large walk-in closet and a bath with dual stone vanities, a hydro-massage soaking tub and a separate walk-in shower. Three more bedrooms share two full baths.
The 14 by 24 bonus room works as a media room, game room, gym or second living room, and the front office with custom crown molding is set away from the main living space for quiet work-from-home days. There is also a central vacuum system.

A new wind-rated roof with a transferable warranty is exactly what Florida insurance carriers want to see. Ask your insurance agent to quote with it; it often helps the premium. The washer and dryer do not convey.

- 2025 property tax bill: $14,868 (this includes the MiraBay CDD assessment)

In flood zone AE a lender will require flood insurance, so get the elevation certificate and a quote early. Taxes are reassessed after a sale; ask me for an estimate at your price.
