Elevated, FORTIFIED Gold(TM) Certified and perfectly positioned in Marina Bay, 17C Franklin offers resilient construction, peaceful nature and water views, and the ease of single-level living. This fee-simple townhome is not a condo, so there is no condo assessment.

Overlooking a protected nature sanctuary with tranquil water views and no direct water exposure, the setting is both private and serene. Inside, the 2,334-square-foot floor plan features open-concept living, 10-foot vaulted ceilings, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow to upper and lower screened lanais. The gourmet kitchen is centered around a quartz island and includes a new Bosch dishwasher (2025). The primary suite offers dual walk-in California Closets and a spacious spa-like bath. Additional features include impact-rated windows, doors, and garage, reinforced roof-to-wall connections, a 22-kilowatt whole-house Generac generator, fully integrated HIVE smart home system, Klipsch surround sound, Hunter Douglas electronic blinds, and whole-house water purification. A rare bonus is the approximately 2,300-square-foot climate-controlled garage with epoxy floors, dedicated HVAC, retractable screen, and custom cabinetry, ideal for collectors, storage, or workshop space. Marina Bay amenities include two pools, including one geothermal pool, spas, fitness center, and deepwater marina. Elevated, engineered, and designed for easy living, this is a rare opportunity in Marina Bay.
