Imperial Lakes Estates is the diamond of land owned manufactured home communities centered around the 65 Acre spring fed lake where you can put in your electric motor boat and enjoy the day on the water. . You are looking for activities in the season, the place has non stop activities, along with the two pools and a spa, water aerobics, tennis, pickle ball, club house with a dance floor (do you like to cut a rug?) This over 55+ gated community also has a library, complete kitchen, pool room, bingo, darts, shuffleboard and bocci ball. Wait I haven't gotten to the home -- This 2/2 plus office home has been meticulously maintained, the windows have the Plantation Shutters, Sunroom with it's own AC, the living room and dining room are off of the kitchen and dinnette is at the other end of the kitchen. The kitchen is large enough for a group to cook, or convenient enough for one. Off the kitchen is the screened in patio with it's own AC, a great place to get away. The double carport with an extra large workshop, craft room, storage and oh yes it is the place for the golf cart - oh yes the golf cart comes with the home. Having a group over, your driveway can accommodate 4 cars+ Imperial Estates is a golf cart friendly community and sits beside the public golf course of Mocassin Wallow Golf Course and you have golf cart access. But wait, we have beaches, symphony, plays, shopping, restaurants all close by. You are close to several hospitals and walk in clinics The home is completely furnished and it isn't the caliber that you normally see being left behind. So don't dally, we are having our winter residents come down and this would make a great Florida get away. Sarasota, St Petersburg, Tampa Bradenton are all close by - up and down I75. Many live here seasonally and many are full time. Did I mention low HOA and NO CDD
This pristine home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a den. Open, light and bright with tray ceilings. All rooms are laminate and ceramic tile with carpet in the master bedroom. It is a split floor plan. The beautiful kitchen includes a lovely morning room . The convenient inside laundry is off the kitchen. Enjoy your spacious Florida room with family and friends or just relaxing with your morning coffee. Nice double driveway and large shed with roll up door to park your golf cart. The home comes mostly furnished and is in move in condition. Nothing to do but relax and enjoy Paradise.
