6504 Bridge Water Way Unit 601, Panama City Beach, FL 32407

Property Description

At Hibiscus by the Bay, the water isn't simply the view -- it is part of the lifestyle. With a private marina on site and the Gulf just minutes away by boat, the community offers a rare combination of waterfront living and easy access to the open water. This 3BR/2.5BA end unit adds an especially impressive vantage point, with more than 2,000 square feet, 180-degree panoramic bay views, and an oversized balcony that makes the most of the setting. The owners live here only part of the year, when they're in town, and the condo has been kept in excellent condition throughout. Inside, natural light comes in from two directions. In the main living area, sliding glass doors open directly to the balcony, while additional windows along the adjoining wall create an expansive view of the bay and keep the space bright throughout the day. A fireplace anchors the living room, adding warmth to a space that already has plenty of visual impact. Tile flooring runs throughout the condo, offering an easy-to-maintain surface from the entry through the main living areas and bedrooms. The kitchen is designed for both everyday use and entertaining, with stainless steel appliances, serpentine stone countertops, and a breakfast bar. Just off the kitchen, a separate bar area with a beverage ice machine and wine cooler gives you another convenient place to serve drinks or keep everything organized when guests are over. The primary suite features a tray ceiling, oversized walk-in closet, sliding glass doors that open to the balcony, and an ensuite bath with double vanities, granite countertops, and an exceptionally large walk-in shower. The second full bathroom also features a spacious walk-in shower. A separate laundry room provides additional storage along with the washer and dryer. Both sets of living-area sliding glass doors were replaced approximately one year ago with hurricane-resistant doors, and the condo was painted approximately four years ago. The furniture and TVs, all approximately two years old, are included, making the condo exceptionally easy to enjoy from day one. The owners are also leaving extra kitchen light bulbs, refrigerator filters, several new furnace filters, and an unopened five-gallon bucket of the interior paint for future touch-ups. Hibiscus by the Bay extends the waterfront lifestyle well beyond your front door. In addition to the private marina, the community features a waterfront boardwalk, 500-foot fishing pier, large outdoor pool and hot tub, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness center, library, community room, BBQ areas, private owners' lounge, and gated security. Beautifully maintained grounds give the community a peaceful residential feel, while the no-short-term-rental policy helps preserve that atmosphere and limits the frequent turnover found in many resort communities. Hibiscus is pet-friendly and close to St. Andrews State Park, the beaches, dining, shopping, and everything Panama City Beach has to offer. The community has also undergone substantial improvements following the hurricane, including extensive work to exterior areas throughout the complex, with balcony and exterior walkway flooring among the improvements. The Structural Integrity Study has been completed, and the HOA maintains strong reserves with the community's required reserves funded. The monthly association fee includes water, trash, and cable. Boat slips and garages are available for purchase separately, giving owners the opportunity to make the boating lifestyle even more convenient.
