Waterfront living doesn't get easier than this in Bay Aristocrat Village, one of Clearwater's most sought-after 55+ resident-owned communities. This clean, well-cared-for 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,304 square feet of comfortable single-level living, one of the larger floor plans in the community, with room to spread out and plenty of natural light throughout. Both bedrooms sit at the rear of the home, creating a quiet, peaceful retreat away from the main living space. Pride of ownership shows the moment you walk in. Major systems have been meticulously maintained and recently updated, including a brand-new AC system with new ductwork installed in 2025. An extra-long carport accommodates up to three vehicles, and a whole-house water softener plus a kitchen water purification system add everyday convenience. Outside, tropical landscaping sets a coastal tone that makes it easy to unwind on your own slice of Florida, just steps from the water. The home is also being offered furnished, so buyers can move right in and start enjoying the Florida lifestyle from day one. The community itself sits directly on Old Tampa Bay, tucked between US 19 and the water. Residents enjoy a private boat ramp, boatable canals, two fishing piers, a heated pool and spa, shuffleboard courts, and a clubhouse with year-round activities and social clubs. Multiple parks are sprinkled throughout, along with a community dock directly on Tampa Bay offering breathtaking views of Old Tampa Bay and the Bayside Bridge. It's a private, gated community set right on the water, yet just outside the gates, you're in the middle of the best Clearwater has to offer, from shopping and top-notch medical care to great restaurants and a short drive to world-famous Clearwater Beach. The monthly fee covers water, sewer, trash, grounds maintenance, and full use of all community amenities. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat, this is an affordable way to own a private home just steps from the water in a tranquil, active 55+ community.
