About This Home

Experience breathtaking, unobstructed lake views from your private screened lanai and both bedrooms — a rare opportunity in the highly desirable Gardens of Palm-Aire, where lakefront units are extremely limited and seldom available. This beautifully maintained second-floor, maintenance-free two-bedroom, two-bath condo is ideally located just steps from the heated pool, clubhouse, tennis and shuffleboard courts, offering the perfect balance of relaxation and entertaining. The open-concept living and dining area features a convenient kitchen pass-through, abundant natural light, and tranquil water views that create a serene backdrop to everyday living. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet, and in-unit laundry adds convenience. Fresh interior paint enhances the clean, modern feel, while major updates provide peace of mind, including a complete A/C system replacement (9/24/23) and a hot water heater replaced in October 2025 — offering added peace of mind. Community improvements include a tile roof (2014), pool resurfacing (2019), asphalt driveways (2022), and building painting (2025) — all with no assessments. The maintenance fee covers basic cable, water, sewer, trash, exterior and grounds maintenance, common area taxes, on-site management, and full access to amenities including the clubhouse, sauna, game room, pool, barbecue area, tennis, and shuffleboard, delivering truly carefree Florida living. Located just 20 minutes from world-renowned Gulf beaches with easy access to I-75, University Town Center, downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and Siesta, Lido, and Longboat Key, this is a seldom-available lakefront opportunity you won’t want to miss.
