Have you ever dreamed of living next to the water? Stop dreaming—this stunning turn-key/furnished home in the highly desirable, active 55+ community of Paradise Bay can be yours! Nestled just a few blocks from Sarasota Bay and only 2 miles from Bradenton Beach, this is your chance to enjoy the ultimate Florida lifestyle. Built in 2022 by Jacobsen Homes, this modern home was designed with safety, comfort and style in mind. As you step up to the inviting screened-in porch, you'll instantly feel at peace—imagine sipping your morning coffee while watching wild green parrots fly by. Inside, the home is spacious and inviting, featuring a very large primary bedroom with en-suite, spacious guest room, a versatile den/bonus room, 2 bathrooms, and a full laundry room. Impact-proof windows throughout and steel beam construction provide superior durability and peace of mind. Plus, this home is elevated 5 feet—and sits on one of the highest points in the community, which is about another 6 feet—giving you extra protection. Your carport offers plenty of covered parking, and the oversized storage shed in the back ensures you’ll have all the space you need for your beach gear, tools, and more. Love the water? Take advantage of the community boat ramp and boat slips (when available). No boat? No problem! Launch your kayak or paddle board right from your neighborhood and explore the breathtaking beauty of the bay. And don’t forget about the unforgettable sunsets—the park benches along the water are the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and even catch a glimpse of dolphins and manatees. Paradise Bay has a monthly calendar of activities and clubs! Also included is pickle ball, bocce, heated pool, spa, shuffleboard and fitness center. Need a beach day? Bradenton Beach is just 2 miles away, and with shopping, dining, and a brand-new Publix coming soon, everything you need is within reach. All of this comes at an unbeatable value—with incredibly low HOA fees that have remained steady year after year. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
