Forty-nine feet of lake frontage, and the lanai faces north across the widest stretch of water in this part of Marina Bay. Morning coffee happens out there. So does the end of most days, in the spa, with the screen keeping the evening to yourself. Inside is one floor and no steps. Three real bedrooms, not two and a study, which is less common here than you would expect at this size. The kitchen was done in white shaker cabinetry with quartz counters and a glass mosaic backsplash, and it opens straight into the great room, so whoever is cooking is never stuck on their own. New wood flooring went into both bedrooms this fall. Tray and coffered ceilings carry through the main rooms, and the walk-in closets are where you actually want them. The primary suite looks out over the water. Its bath has a double vanity and a glass shower. A separate den works as an office or as a quiet room away from the television, and the laundry has a tub and real cabinets rather than a closet and a shelf. Impact glass protects the windows and doors, with manual shutters as backup, and the house sits in Flood Zone X, outside both the 100- and 500-year floodplains. Lock it and leave it for the summer without lying awake about it. Marina Bay is gated with a guard at the gate. Residents get a resort pool and a separate lap pool, a spa, an attended fitness center, tennis, pickleball, bocce and basketball, plus a clubhouse holding billiards, a hobby room and a business center. Paths wind around the lakes for walking and cycling. Daniels Parkway and Interstate 75 are a few minutes out. The airport is close enough for an early flight without a pre-dawn start, and both spring training parks are a short drive. Beaches and restaurants sit fifteen to thirty minutes away. Offered furnished. Two-car garage, paver drive, mature landscaping, and a dead-end street, so the only traffic is people who live here.
