Life at Imperial Lakes moves at whatever pace you choose. This land-owned, pet-friendly 55+ community spans 65 peaceful, park-like acres in Palmetto, offering the perfect blend of activity and quiet retreat. Enjoy two heated pools, a spa, pickleball, tennis, shuffleboard, bocce ball, a private lake with boat ramp access, and a clubhouse hosting darts, bingo, poker, and card games all year long. A full social calendar when you want it - and a quiet morning with nothing but birdsong when you don't. The home itself is truly move-in ready. Recent upgrades include hurricane-impact windows (2022), new water heater, new entry door, updated flooring throughout, all-new appliances, and a freshly painted exterior. Inside, the open layout connects a combined living/dining area to a kitchen-family room featuring solid wood cabinetry, solid-surface counters, and vaulted ceilings. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and an en suite bath with a sunken shower, while the second bedroom easily serves guests or a dedicated home office. What truly sets this property apart is the lot. The backyard backs directly to a protected conservation area - a rare advantage in Imperial Lakes. No rear neighbors, no future development, just mature Florida landscape and open sky. The covered, enclosed lanai overlooks this greenspace, and the professionally landscaped yard enhances the sense of privacy in every direction. A 24x40 double carport and a 24x20 shed/workshop provide exceptional storage and workspace, offering more breathing room than the typical active-adult home. Monthly fees of $190 include cable, internet, Wi-Fi, pool access, and grounds maintenance. The property sits in Flood Zone X for added peace of mind. Conveniently located near Bradenton's medical centers, Anna Maria Island's Gulf beaches, Ellenton Premium Outlets, and everyday shopping along US-301. Quick access to I-75 (Exit 229) puts the entire region within easy reach.
