Discover incredible value and convenience with this charming 2-bedroom, 1 and 1/2 bath manufactured home in a desirable 55+ community in Sarasota.

You’ll also appreciate the whole-house surge protector, leased from FPL for less than $12 per month for extra peace of mind. Be sure to check out the new (2024) induction cooktop! The low monthly fee of just $175 covers almost everything — water, sewer, trash, basic cable, and use of all community amenities. Relax and enjoy the Florida lifestyle with a heated pool, hot tub, shuffleboard courts, and a welcoming clubhouse. Best of all, there’s no need to own a lawnmower — mowing is included! This friendly and active community offers a full calendar of social events and activities, including cards, shuffleboard, water aerobics, bingo and games, coffee hours, and festive holiday dinners.
