What made 79 Lakeshore Ct stand out?
79 Lakeshore Ct is a ground-floor one-bedroom condo in Marina Bay with a simple feature that changes how the home feels: the living room opens straight to a private fenced patio. The indoor space is compact, but the patio gives the main living area a direct outdoor extension.
Inside, the 549-square-foot plan keeps the main rooms easy to understand. The living and dining areas connect to the kitchen, while the bedroom and bathroom sit just off the main space. The home is on one level, and the MLS identifies the unit as ground floor.
Before marketing, the interior was refreshed with new flooring in the main living spaces, new bedroom carpet, quartz kitchen counters, new appliances, a new sink and faucet, an updated bathroom vanity, new baseboard heaters, contemporary light fixtures, and a tankless water heater. Seller-side project records also document coordinated paint, cabinet, countertop, vanity, heater, flooring, and appliance work.
The photo story leads with the bright living room and patio connection, then moves through the refreshed kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom before showing the private patio and community setting. A clubhouse, greenbelt, fitness center, pool, security gate, and spa/hot tub among the HOA amenities.

How did the sale of 79 Lakeshore Ct come together?
Situation
A compact Marina Bay condo needed a clear, updated presentation
The property offered a ground-floor layout, a private fenced patio, one carport space, and access to established Marina Bay community amenities. At 549 square feet, every room and finish needed to read clearly in photos and in person.
With a smaller one-bedroom footprint and nearby condos selling across a wide price range based on size and condition, the listing needed both strong preparation and a price that could adjust to buyer response.
Strategy
Refresh the interior, photograph the strongest features, then adjust price with the market
Seller-side records document coordinated interior work before and during the sale process. The finished listing showed refreshed flooring, kitchen counters and appliances, bathroom vanity, baseboard heaters, lighting, paint, and other presentation updates that were also reflected in the public listing remarks.
The professional photo set gave the living-room-to-patio connection first priority, then showed the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, private patio, and selected community amenities. This kept the page focused on the property instead of burying the home under a long gallery.
The home launched at $328,000. A price change to $315,000 was made on on May 6, 2026, followed by a pending date of May 19.
Result
Closed at $320,000 after a final list price of $315,000
The home was listed on February 6 and recorded as pending on May 19, a 102-calendar-day span from the MLS list date to the MLS pending date.
The sale closed on July 31, 2026 for $320,000. That was $5,000, or about 1.6%, above the final $315,000 list price
“Sara and the rest of the ponytail team are super stars. When I had to sell my condo, I just gave them the keys and they drove everything from advising me on what kind of renovations are required, getting the condo renovated and driving the sale to completion. Other than providing payments for renovation, I never had to do any work in the entire sale process. All the process was done online and I was updated periodically on the progress. They are friendly, professional and was a great pleasure to work with. I am certainly going to contact them if I have any real estate needs in the future. Again thanks to Sara, Sayed, Chris, Emerson, Lucas and Denni.”
