Welcome to Japanese Gardens, Sarasota County’s best-kept secret! This immaculate 400+ resident-owned 55+ park is located a little over a mile from Manasota Key Beach, which stretches for many miles along Southwest Florida’s coast. The beautifully updated, well-maintained, turn-key furnished 2/2 manufactured home (1980) is located on a privately-owned cozy corner lot in a quiet part of the park (hardly any traffic). The home boasts a newer a/c and water heater (2018), laminate floors, a cozy eat-in kitchen, and a living room with sliding doors, opening up to a wonderful lanai where you will spend many hours with family and friends. The attached shed houses the washer and dryer, a big barbecue, and shelves with tools. An intimate terrace on the west side of the home is a great place to have tea. Japanese Gardens has a lot to offer its residents: social clubs and events, a big pool, bocce courts, pickleball courts, shuffleboard courts, you name it. There is an on-site management company that can help you to rent out your home in case you want to make some extra money. The area has a lot to offer: you’re close to the quaint old town of Englewood with its restaurants and shops. Venice, a somewhat bigger, very pretty town, is about 8 miles away. For those who want to do more than sightseeing: golf, boating, swimming, kayaking, fishing, hiking, bicycling, are some of the activities that can be enjoyed year round. All the necessary information about the park can be found in the attachments to the listing. Please, ask your agent to forward those to you. This is a great opportunity to own an inexpensive home close to a beautiful beach in a safe, beautiful park, where it is easy to make new friends. Oh, yes, and the dues are only $189 per month!
