Welcome to Garden Lakes living – where carefree comfort meets community, fun, and new friendships. Tucked amongst shady oak trees and beautifully landscaped streets, this graciously updated single-family home offers the perfect balance of privacy, comfort, and Florida charm. The open layout and high ceilings make every room feel spacious and inviting. The kitchen is a welcoming highlight — featuring granite countertops, a stylish tile backsplash, updated cabinets, and nearly new stainless refrigerator and dishwasher. A cozy eat-in area and built-in planning desk make it easy to enjoy your morning coffee and organize the day ahead. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with dual closets and room for a king-sized bed. The bathroom has an updated vanity with granite top, new lighting, and a tile walk-in shower. The other bedroom includes a large closet and a convenient built-in desk unit, perfect for a home office or creative hobby space. The bedrooms are situated apart for maximum quiet and privacy. You'll enjoy Florida’s beautiful weather in the roomy, private, screened lanai — ideal for entertaining, reading, or hosting friends for cocktails and conversation. The garage adds more function with a handy work nook and an extra refrigerator to keep all your party supplies cold. There’s a dedicated laundry room with a laundry tub, storage closet, and newer washer and dryer. Living in Garden Lakes means you’ll be part of one of Bradenton’s most sought-after 55+ communities — a friendly, walkable neighborhood with tile-roof homes, mature landscaping, and winding trails beneath the oaks and pines. The reasonable fees include lawn care & landscaping, irrigation, cable TV, internet, trash pickup, house painting/ pressure washing, and more. Residents enjoy a heated oversized pool, tennis and pickleball courts, updated clubhouse with social events, classes, and lots of activities. Being bored here isn’t an option — unless you want it to be! Conveniently situated near Sarasota, I-75, and the Gulf beaches, the gated neighborhood offers easy access to great dining, shopping, medical facilities, golf courses, and the ever-popular UTC Mall—everything you love about the Florida lifestyle is just minutes away. Whether you’re ready to downsize, simplify, or just start living the Florida life you’ve always dreamed of, this Garden Lakes gem is ready to welcome you home.
