A rare deepwater opportunity in Bay Colony—Manatee County’s best-kept secret for serious boaters. This non-deed restricted waterfront community features the widest and deepest canals in the county, no HOA fees, and direct Gulf access—perfect for those who live life on the water. This fully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers 1,519 square feet and sits directly on a deepwater canal, allowing you to keep your boat just steps from your back door. The property includes a 7,500-lb boat lift and a 22-foot dock—a rare setup in this price range. Enjoy tranquil canal views from the expansive backyard paver patio, designed for waterfront entertaining, morning sunrises, and sunset cocktails. A 220-volt outlet is already in place for a hot tub, enhancing the outdoor living experience. Inside, the home has been completely renovated featuring white quartz countertops, custom white cabinetry, and premium stainless-steel appliances. Original terrazzo flooring preserves mid-century character, while updated spa-inspired bathrooms elevate the space. Recent capital improvements within the past year include a new roof, new HVAC system, new water heater, and new irrigation pump. A large canal-view storage room offers flexible use as an office, captain’s room, or gear storage. Hurricane shutters provide added security. Conveniently located near I-275, I-75, US-41, US-301 and the Skyway Bridge, offering quick access to St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota, Bradenton, and open water. Boating season is just around the corner, so hurry and put this one on your list today, before another buyer is enjoying your lifestyle in your house!
