Welcome to The Gardensa beautifully maintained 55+ community set along the Seminole Bypass Canal and surrounded by lush landscaping, walking paths, and inviting clubhouse amenities.

This corner unit features extra windows for abundant natural light and two parking spaces (#116) right in front of the building with guest parking nearby. This spacious 2-bedroom + office, 2-bath end-unit condo offers 1, 480 sq. ft. of open and comfortable first-floor living, just steps from the heated pool. Inside, the updated interior showcases tile flooring throughout and an open-concept living and dining area leading to a bright kitchen with white shaker cabinetry with crown molding, white appliances, light blue glass-block subway tile backsplash, above and under-cabinet lighting, stainless farmhouse sink with sprayer faucet and soap dispenser, closet pantry, and breakfast bar. The enclosed Florida room extends the living space and overlooks greenbelt viewsperfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. A hallway separates the bedrooms from the main living area. The primary suite features four windows with two nearly floor-to-ceiling vertical windows, a walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bath with granite vanity and tiled walk-in shower. Both bedrooms include white shutters and matching ceiling fans. The third room is ideal as an office, TV room, guest space, or craft roomand includes the in-unit washer and dryer, a rare feature since most condos here use the shared laundry at the clubhouse.

- Directions: Driving Directions: From Park Blvd, turn onto Garden Dr. Note: The “The Gardens†entrance sign is not easy to see. Follow Garden Dr and take the second left into the Elmwood Circle. Important: The condo is in the fourth building around the circle. You will pass the tennis courts — if you reach the blue pickleball courts, you’ve gone too far and will need to continue forward to loop back around. The circles are one-way, so please drive carefully and watch for residents in power wheelchairs. Parking: You may park in either of the two spaces marked #116 in front of the condo. Two guest spaces are also available to the right of the carport.
