Looking for a quiet 55+ community with lots of friends and activities, in a gated community for under $100,000? This is it. This charming 1 bed 1.5 bath unit is not only on the ground floor, but on the end with close parking. You won't believe the size of this end unit. It's just shy of 1,000 square feet. When you walk in, there is a good size living room and dining area with a new chandelier and fan and new carpet and tile. Down the hall is the half bath and kitchen. There is a newer French door stainless steel refrigerator, range and dishwasher. The AC is 6 yrs young and the H/W tank is 1.5 years. And here is the best part. There is a good size family room off the kitchen where you can add a sleeping sofa for stay over guests or an office or a den. Whatever works for you. There is a very good size bedroom with a walk in closet and full bath. Right off the family room is a glassed and screened in lanai with a view of the lake and fountain. This unit is located in the Desoto Square Villas which is a gated community that few know about. Once inside the gates you will be amazingly surprised on how beautiful it is. Winding roads around villas, canals and lush gardens. As you wind around, you come to the unit in the back where it is nice and quiet. But the backyard is such a surprise and treat. There is a large pond/lake with a fountain that you can listen to in your condo with a walk all around the lake. A walk out into the lake is there with casual seating for turtle watching or just reading your book. There is a fire pit to enjoy with friends and a wonderful area for grilling. The clubhouse offers dance and exercise classes, a heated swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts and exercise equipment. You won't even think about the world that is outside your gates. This is like an enchanted quiet oasis all on its own. The unit was just painted and cleaned to the max. You will love both your ground floor end unit and this community. Call for a showing
