About this home
Welcome to Garden Lakes, a beautifully maintained, gated 55+ community designed for active, carefree living. This inviting split-plan 2-bedroom, 2-bath villa with a 2-car garage offers the perfect blend of privacy, comfort, and convenience. Enjoy peaceful outdoor living from your glass-enclosed, air-conditioned Florida room with elegant slate flooring or relax on the private concrete patio overlooking a walking trail and fenced backdrop — no rear neighbors for added tranquility. Inside, you’ll find a spacious living and dining room combination with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and abundant natural light. A charming BAY WINDOW with a built-in window seat and hidden storage adds both warmth and functionality. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the main living areas, delivering a stylish, low-maintenance finish. The updated kitchen showcases solid surface countertops, refreshed cabinetry, a 2024 refrigerator, and a cozy eat-in dining nook. A convenient pass-through to the dining room makes entertaining effortless. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and peaceful retreat. The guest bedroom and bath can be closed off with a pocket door, creating a private ensuite space for visiting family and friends. Accessibility features include French doors for easier furniture placement and a wheelchair ramp entry through the garage. Additional highlights include BRAND NEW AC (July 2026), epoxy finished garage floor, separate laundry room, and water heater (2021). Enjoy a short stroll to the clubhouse, heated pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and shuffleboard. The vibrant lifestyle of Garden Lakes Villas awaits. Ideally located near University Town Center, I-75, medical facilities, dining, and the beautiful beaches and cultural attractions of Sarasota and Bradenton, this villa truly offers the best of Florida living. Move in, relax, and start enjoying the lifestyle you deserve.
