Some properties just have the Jazz. This is definitely one. The lake view through the lanai from your Florida room means waterfront dining every meal and a front-row seat to the birds, turtles, and whatever else the Audubon sanctuary decides to send your way. Ground floor means no stairs to climb; single story means no upstairs neighbors; the lush greenery on your front patio makes morning coffee all the richer while you wave to the neighbors. New plank flooring throughout means easy clean-up and a fresh look. The open kitchen means the family chef will enjoy cooking and company at the same time. The living room, primary bedroom, and third bedroom/den all open to the lanai, so you can chase the breeze or just hide out in the A/C ('26) with a good view and no agenda. The third bedroom makes a great den, office, craft room, or guest space when the northern visitors finally admit Florida in winter is not a rumor. The community pool means you can be refreshed body and soul without doing the maintenance. Spring Lakes is a richly landscaped Audubon Society Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary community in the midst of Bradenton that gives you great access to beaches, preserves, golfing, and nightlife… but you might just want to hang out at home or walk the community in the shade of the oak canopy. This is not a 55+ community. Close to IMG and SCF, about 20 minutes from SRQ for your guests who still think they need a plane ticket to find good weather.
