On "The Shores" of beautiful Marina Bay, the developer chose this primo site as their model home! Pass the sparkling blue swimming pool and take the fairytale curved bridge over emerald waters graced with weeping willows and home to happy ducks, to this perfectly located, ground floor one-level home! As the "former model", this unit has some wonderful perks and upgrades: Beautiful lake views from every room, recessed ceiling lighting in all of the living areas, custom closet systems and blinds, high ceilings, and an easy, very livable layout. Other special features include oak random plank floors, cozy new wool wall-to-wall carpets in the bedrooms, fresh new no-VOC paint, newer (2 yrs.) dual pane windows and sliding patio door, remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops and energy-saving stainless steel appliances, a larger-than-average patio at 125 sq. ft. (measured) and a wood-burning fireplace in the living room. Your patio overlooks lush landscaping and a lake with soothing fountain, with room for reading, lounging or dining al fresco. The unit includes storage and one covered parking space, with additional guest parking. Enjoy year-round resort living with two heated pools, two spas and a full gym with cardio machines and weights, and convenient car-chargers, all in a gated community with friendly on-site management. Close to the SF Bay Trail, the Marina Bay Sailing School and Yacht Club, parks, restaurants, and a scenic walk or short drive to the Richmond-to-SF Ferry! Perhaps best of all right now, there are grants available for down payment assistance or buying down your rate, and The Shores is FHA-approved. Now is the time to put down roots in this lovely home and community!
