About This Property

Welcome to The Gardens—a beautifully maintained 55+ community set along the Seminole Bypass Canal and surrounded by lush landscaping, walking paths, and inviting clubhouse amenities. The Gardens is composed of multiple associations, each with its own board, pool, and amenities. Elmwood Circle sits on the canal side, offering peaceful scenery and close proximity to the tennis and pickleball courts. 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 views—perfect 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 room—and includes the in-unit washer and dryer, a rare feature since most condos here use the shared laundry at the clubhouse. Additional storage includes an entryway closet (great for beach gear or pantry overflow) and a large utility closet with shelving that houses the electric water heater and A/C handler. Recent updates: • 2021 Impact-rated windows • Shutter shades in both bedrooms • Levolor blinds throughout rest of home • High-quality Daltile “Saddle Brook – Oak Trail” glazed porcelain plank tile (6”x36”, installed 2021) — durable, scratch- and moisture-resistant, with the warm look of natural wood • 2022 A/C handler & condenser • 2021 properly placed electrical panel. Community amenities include cable & internet, heated pool, tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard courts, clubhouse, and walking sidewalks. The monthly fee of $686 covers water, sewer, trash, internet, cable, exterior insurance, and maintenance—providing an easy, low-maintenance lifestyle. The carports were recently redone by the association. Pet-friendly (1 pet up to 15 lbs). The pool area features plenty of loungers plus a community grill and covered patio seating. From the Florida room, a lighted sidewalk leads directly to the pool—no need to walk through grass! This location offers a peaceful, natural setting for walking or biking within The Gardens, and Lake Seminole Park offers a wide range of outdoor activities and trails right next door. Only about 5 miles to the beaches, and plenty of restaurants and shopping nearby. This home offers both tranquility and convenience.
