Tucked beneath a grand oak in Garden Lakes-one of Bradenton's most sought-after 55+ gated communities-this beautifully updated villa pairs serenity with true convenience: vaulted ceilings and sun-washed rooms flow into an updated kitchen with crisp shaker cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, while a spa-inspired lanai invites unrushed sunsets and morning coffee before a stroll along the community's meandering walking paths. Lovingly maintained and genuinely move-in ready, the home lives maintenance-free on the exterior and has the right upgrades already handled: a brand-new TILE roof (Feb 2025), new AC (2022), modern kitchen appliances (all <2 years old), new front-yard pavers (2021) and lanai pavers (2023), complete repiping (2021), PGT Hurricane Rated Impact Windows, and a new electric panel (2022)-so all you need to bring is your toothbrush. Beyond your door, Garden Lakes lives like a private resort with a clubhouse, heated pool, refreshed community kitchen, meeting and community rooms, library, billiards, fitness center, tennis and pickleball, plus shuffleboard, and the HOA conveniently covers cable, internet, and yard irrigation. Minutes to Lakewood Ranch, UTC, I-75, top golf, shopping, dining, and entertainment, this peaceful, private retreat delivers the best of Florida living-quiet when you want it, connected when you need it. Homes here are in high demand-schedule your private tour and claim your Garden Lakes lifestyle.
