This cozy, well-maintained non-smoking home sits in Tree Lakes Resort, a resident-owned gated 55+ cooperative community. The roof was replaced in 2016 and came with a 20-year transferable warranty. The AC is from 2022, ducts were updated in December 2024, and the water heater was new in December 2021. It's on a larger corner lot with an extra-wide driveway that makes parking easy and gives you extra outdoor space. The current owners planted a food forest that provides edible plants, natural privacy, and year-round beauty. The low quarterly fee covers water, sewer, trash, and lawn care. There is no lot rent. Ownership stays simple and affordable. Tree Lakes has a full resort-style lineup of amenities: clubhouse, heated pool and spa, fitness room, tennis and pickleball courts, billiards, library, bocce, shuffleboard, horseshoes, fishing, water exercise classes, and a steady calendar of resident-run social activities. It's a friendly, volunteer-driven community where homeowners actually help shape how the park runs. Location is convenient, easy reach of Tampa and St. Pete, shopping, restaurants, and the Gulf beaches. Move-in ready and low-maintenance. A solid option if you're looking for affordable Florida living in an active 55+ community.
