Imagine waking up every day to PEACEFUL, sun-drenched WATERFRONT VIEWS from one of the prettiest lots in your own slice of Florida paradise. Properties in the historic and exceptionally welcoming Palms of Manasota neighborhood rarely become available, making this beautifully designed 3-bed, 2-bath, 1-car garage standalone condo a truly unique find. Spanning 1,532 square feet of pure, low-maintenance comfort, the home sits in an idyllic setting with lush landscaping, mature oak trees and majestic palms, framing a close-knit, pet-friendly 55+ community filled with warmth and genuine active friendships. Inside, the home glows with natural light across seamless, easy-care tile flooring, leading you to an open-concept living space that flows effortlessly out toward your tranquil water vistas. The views get even better from the expansive screened-in lanai which is accessible through several sliding glass doors. The kitchen offers abundant space and can easily accommodate a large gathering. The split bedroom floor plan means two are on one side of the home while the third is on the other for increased privacy. Each bedroom has direct access to a bathroom for convenience. The front bedroom is currently used as an office and guest room and even has its own exterior access door to the front making it perfect for multigenerational living or a roommate setup. Ideally nestled between the vibrant cultural hubs of St. Petersburg and Sarasota, this dreamy retreat places you just minutes from world-class dining, 11 miles from Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, and just over 4 miles from Manatee Memorial Hospital, beautifully blending easy living with a welcoming neighborhood spirit.
