Beautiful large double-wide 2bd/2ba manufactured home in Manatee Co's premier retirement community... Colony Cove, voted Best Retirement Community by the Bradenton Herald-Tribune for the past 3 years in a row. This lovely home has a climatized sunroom, lg dining and living rooms, and a very lg Master bedroom with walk-in closet and private bath. Beautiful Bay windows across the front of the home display a lovely landscaped property, which also includes an enclosed carport and lg utility room with W/D hook-ups and plenty of space for the gardener or handyperson of the household. Colony Cove is well-known for the amenities included, from private 24 hr security force to every recreational activity you could want. This home is 1 block from 1 of 5 community centers, which has a heated pool, full industrial kitchen, and an"honor-system" library. It is also easy walking distance to the Manatee River where you'll find a private covered pavilion with brick fireplace and cooking privileges, as well as a fishing pier, a full gym, and boat access for kayaks and canoes. There is every kind of social club and activity offered. For those who may require a little assistance there is a weekly door-to-door private Colony Cove bus to Publix Grocery and Walmart, along with other scheduled weekly trips to local recreational activities, e.g. the beaches, Ellenton Outlet Mall, and the Tampa Aquarium, to name a few. Not to mention you are just minutes away from local dining, shopping, and entertainment - and some of the best medical care in the state. You have all the advantages of city living along with the comfort and quiet security of suburbia. We wish we could stay but can't want to join our extended family (including grandkids!) in Ocala.
