About this home
LAKEFRONT LIVING WITH NEW UPGRADES! Wake up to beautiful, unobstructed lake views and enjoy the best of the Florida lifestyle from this exceptional, fully furnished second-floor 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence in Gardens at Palm-Aire. A private screened lanai and lake views from both bedrooms create a peaceful retreat, while recent improvements bring a fresh, modern touch, including a brand-new GE stainless steel refrigerator and stove, a new ceiling fan with lighting in the primary bedroom, and new lighting along the stairwell. The bright, open living and dining area is ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with a convenient kitchen pass-through that keeps the space open and inviting. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, and in-unit laundry adds effortless convenience. Additional peace of mind comes from an A/C system installed in September 2023 and a water heater installed in October 2025. Enjoy the relaxed, resort-style atmosphere of Gardens at Palm-Aire with its heated pool, clubhouse, tennis and shuffleboard courts, sauna, game room, and barbecue area. Just minutes from I-75, University Town Center, downtown Sarasota, St. Armands Circle, and some of Florida’s most celebrated beaches, including Siesta Key, Lido Key, and Longboat Key. Turnkey, beautifully positioned, and newly enhanced, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy serene lakefront living with Sarasota’s finest amenities and attractions just minutes away.
