Welcome to Garden Lakes Village, a highly sought-after gated 55+ community offering tranquil living and unbeatable convenience. This well-cared-for home features a brand-new tile roof (2024), a 2023 water heater, and a 2016 HVAC system--providing important updates where they matter most. The split bedroom design offers privacy, while two living areas and dual sliding glass doors lead to a peaceful screened lanai. Enjoy the upgraded primary suite shower and included Whirlpool washer and dryer. Life in Garden Lakes can be whatever you make it. Take a stroll along one of the scenic walking paths, pause on a bench overlooking Lake Natura, and enjoy the calming sights of ducks at play. Or join in on the many social and fitness activities held almost daily at the Clubhouse. The community features a heated pool, large patio with loungers, fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball, shuffleboard, and an active social calendar. Ideally located off the beaten path yet near everything Manatee County has to offer, Garden Lakes delivers both value and lifestyle.
