About this home

THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND AT COLONIAL BAY! For the first time, this uniquely combined residence is being offered for sale on Lake Manitou. A coveted zero-entry ground-floor condo and the townhome directly above have been connected by a full interior staircase, creating an extraordinary three-level lake retreat with 4 bedrooms, 3½ baths, two full kitchens, two laundry areas and incredible flexibility—all in one of Lake Manitou's most desirable waterfront communities. The ground-floor residence offers complete single-level living with no steps to enter. An updated kitchen features quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, while the lakeside living room opens to its own covered patio. The spacious primary suite enjoys a private covered lakeside patio, huge walk-in closet and ensuite bath with tiled walk-in shower. A second bedroom, full guest bath and stackable washer/dryer complete the main living spaces. The former third bedroom now provides exceptional flex space surrounding the interior staircase, with a walk-in storage closet, two additional closets and room for a desk or home office. At the top of the interior staircase, a charming reading nook welcomes you into the adjoining townhome and an entirely separate second living space. Here you'll find another updated full kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, built-in banquette dining, a comfortable living room with gas-log fireplace, half bath and spacious covered lakeside deck with plenty of room for outdoor dining. Upstairs are two additional large bedrooms. The lakefront bedroom features a king bed, vaulted ceiling and its own private balcony overlooking Lake Manitou. The second bedroom offers generous space for both a queen bed and bunk beds. A full bath with tub/shower and second stackable washer/dryer complete the upper level. Offered furnished and ready to enjoy, this one-of-a-kind configuration provides two complete living and gathering areas under one roof, with plenty of room for guests, extended stays or simply spreading out and enjoying the lake. Colonial Bay makes lake ownership remarkably easy. Enjoy the waterfront association pool, two dedicated pier spaces, and seasonal pier installation and removal included by the association. Two dedicated carports—each with its own enclosed storage closet—provide valuable space for vehicles, bicycles, water toys and lake gear. HOA dues also include water, sewer and trash. Two residences.
