Enjoy the peaceful view of the pond from this 1st floor 2 bedroom/2 bath unit with detached garage, located in desireable Serenade on Palmer Ranch. All freshly painted with a brand new LG diswasher. The unit is set in the back of the building with tranquil pond views from the living/great room, master bedroom and newly screened and freshly epoxied lanai. The unit has high, 9 ft. ceilings with crown molding and includes an exterior storage closet by the front door. Just beyond the security gated entrance is a fabulous clubhouse with fitness center, library, lounging area, kitchen, meeting rooms and on-site manager’s office and a lagoon style community pool with a separate hot-tub under a charming gazebo. A playground and a tennis court and grilling areas are also on the grounds and a second community pool exists further back in the complex. A Publix anchored shopping center is just across from the entrance to the community and more shopping areas are right around the corner. Five minutes to I-75 and 15 minutes to Siesta Key, St. Armands Circle and downtown Sarasota. You will be very happy in this condo!
