Palm Lakes, just north of University Parkway, is located off Tallevast Road between Route 301 and Lockwood Ridge Road. The community is a small, gated enclave of beautiful single family homes with barrel tile roofs and mature, landscaped yards. The lush landscaping, the surrounding lakes and the street design provide a very private, secure environment. The community offers the 114 homeowners a gated entry, fenced in play area, clubhouse and a heated, community pool. The single family, one story home is a short walk to the clubhouse and pool. The floor plan makes excellent use of all the square footage and is well thought out with no wasted space. The architectural features and the warm neutral tones of the home add so much to the design. The large living room is in the front of the home with the two bedrooms in the quiet, back spaces. The kitchen and dining area have plenty of room for gourmet cooking and formal dining. The kitchen is a u-shape which is ideal for those who love to cook. The master bedroom has a special “wing” or alcove to use as a small office, craft space or sitting area. Two full baths, a laundry room and a one car garage complete the plan. The screened, outdoor lanai is just off the dining room and kitchen. The courtyard provides additional space and makes outdoor grilling a breeze. Maintenance free living gives owners more time to enjoy the Florida warm, sunny days. The University Parkway of the Sarasota – Bradenton area is an excellent location to be close to downtown Sarasota and Bradenton, the fantastic beaches of Siesta Key Beach, Lido Beach, Coquina Beach and Anna Maria Island, the Ringling Museum and the UTC Mall and Shopping. Excellent Restaurants, Benderson Park, Shopping and Endless activities are all within 6 miles of the community. Affordable priced, this villa is waiting for the new owner.
