5843 Garden Lakes Drive Bradenton, FL 34203

What a fantastic price to pay for a beautiful home. You can't buy a condo with a two car garage, 2 bed, 2 bath, gorgeous lanai, cathedral ceilings and low fees for this price. This beautiful single family home is located in a little known paradise called Garden Lakes. A hidden gem tucked away from the main stream traffic just waiting for someone to find. Once you go through the gates of this 55+ community nestled under a canopy of oaks trees, you will see winding streets with flowered names and garden paths that lead to a community dock where you can drink your coffee, read a book or just enjoy the peace and tranquility that this community offers. It is a beautiful almost magical place that you will be delighted to live in. Park your car in the driveway big enough for 4 cars with a two car garage and walk down the side to the front door where the flowers are blooming and open the door. Once you walk in, you will want to write the offer. The whole house opens up before you. You will love the space. The cathedral ceiling adds height to the room so you don't feel closed in. The all glass Florida Room is so appealing. There are laminate floors throughout the home. The living room and dining room share this great space for entertaining your friends, guests and family. There is a stone wood burning fireplace to cozy up to with an entire wall of mantle. The eat in kitchen has been updated with cabinets, granite and stainless appliances and has a pass through to the dining area. Walk outside to a brick patio where the barbecue could be located and birds in bird baths can be enjoyed. Off the dining room is the hallway to the master bedroom and bath and the guest bedroom and bath with the laundry room in the middle. Perfect set up. You'll love the feeling you get in this home because it is a home. Owning it will make you a member of the community where you will enjoy the clubhouse, the heated pool, shuffle board, tennis and a well equipped exercise room. The clubhouse is a great size for the parties, it's updated kitchen, well inventoried library, meeting room, piano, television and plenty of table and chairs for the special occasions shared by all. You will love living in this enchanted place. And your new home had it's tiled roof replaced in 2019, so you are good to go for many years. Come see this home and community. You won't regret it. And the low fees that pay for lawn care is a great perk. At night when the gate closes, you will be tucked in for the evening. Call for a private showing.
