Palm Lakes, one mile north of University Parkway, is a small enclave of beautiful single family villas with barrel tile roofs and mature, landscaped yards. The lush landscaping, the surrounding lakes and the street design provide a very private, secure environment. The community offers the 114 homeowners a gated entry, playground, clubhouse and heated, community pool. Events are held monthly in the clubhouse for owners to get together socially. The villa has been lovingly cared for by the original owner. The floor plan makes use excellent use of all the square footage with no wasted space. The architectural features and the warm neutral tones of the home add so much to the design. The large living room is in the front of the home with the two bedrooms in the quiet, back spaces. The kitchen and dining room have plenty of space for gourmet cooking and formal dining. The kitchen is a u-shape which is ideal for those who love to cook. The master bedroom has a special "wing" or alcove to use as a small office or sitting area. The outdoor lanai, off the dining room and kitchen, makes outdoor grilling a breeze and is perfect for entertaining. Newly painted inside and a new A/C unit make the home move-in ready. Maintenance free living gives owners more time to enjoy Florida's warm, sunny days. University Parkway is an excellent location and Palm Lakes is within 6 miles of downtown Sarasota, Bradenton, the UTC Mall and Shopping, Restaurants and Parks. Siesta Key, Lido Beach and Anna Maria are a short drive.
