About This Home

Experience breathtaking views of the sparkling swimming pool and serene lake from this beautifully maintained two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in the desirable Gardens of Palm-Aire. Ideally situated just steps from the heated pool, community clubhouse, shuffleboard court, and laundry facilities, this condo is perfect for both relaxation and entertaining guests. Step onto your private balcony, which extends your living space and fills your home with natural light and fresh air. This second-story, maintenance-free condo is perfect for year-round or seasonal Florida living. The open floor plan features a spacious living and dining area with a convenient kitchen pass-through for easy entertaining. The large master suite includes a walk-in closet, and an in-unit laundry adds to the convenience. Start your day with a cup of coffee on the private screened lanai—it's the perfect spot to enjoy the view and relax. The entire interior was freshly painted, and brand-new carpeting was installed in 2025, giving the space a clean, modern feel. Exterior updates include a new tile roof in 2014, pool resurfacing in 2019, asphalt-paved driveways in 2022, and building painting in 2025—with no assessments. The condo's maintenance fee covers basic cable, common area taxes, grounds and exterior maintenance, community amenities (including the pool, clubhouse, and shuffleboard court), trash, water, sewer, and even the community manager. Say goodbye to maintenance worries! Best of all, you’re only 20 minutes from some of the most famous Gulf beaches and have easy access to I-75. Plus, you're close to University Town Center, downtown Sarasota, St. Armand’s Circle, and the soft sands of Siesta, Lido, and Longboat Key. Pride of ownership shines through in every corner of this condo. Schedule your showing today to see why this is truly a one-of-a-kind home!
