Palm Lakes is a small enclave of only 114 beautiful, single family homes with barrel tile roofs, paver driveways and mature, landscaped yards. The lush landscaping, the surrounding lakes and the gated entry provide a very private, secure environment. The community has a playground, heated community pool & clubhouse - events are held monthly for residents. Maintenance free living gives more time to enjoy the Florida warm, sunny days. Palm Lakes is within 6 miles of downtown Sarasota and Bradenton, UTC Mall, Shopping, Restaurants & Parks. Siesta Key, Lido Beach and Anna Maria are a short drive. The single family, one story home is on a beautiful, large lake and provides the ultimate for bird watching and gorgeous sunsets! It is located toward the back of the community which gives a very private feel to the home that sits at the end of the street. There is a very large, private, grassed area to the south and the large lake to the west. It is a short walk to the clubhouse & pool. The home has all the upgrades buyers look for in a home: the A/C, Kitchen Appliances and Washer/Dryer are all one year old and the inside walls were painted a year ago. The architectural features & the warm neutral tones of the home add so much to the cozy style. There are many possibilities of making best use of the space. The living room and dining area are combined and there is also a large, breakfast nook off the kitchen that can be customized for other uses. The master bedroom is in the back of the home with views of the lake. The second and third bedroom are in the front of the home with a second bathroom. The lanai is accessed from the living room or the breakfast nook to spend time bird watching or just enjoying the sunsets and the outdoor living. This community is a hidden gem off the University Parkway corridor. Come and check it out for your new Florida lifestyle! Owners must own the home for two years before renting. Tenant is moving out by September 30, 2021. Floor Plan Attached.
