This adorable 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 1,258 square feet of easy, low-maintenance Florida living with an open, light-filled layout and vaulted ceilings. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a breakfast bar, all open to the dining and living areas. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with its own private bath, while the second bedroom and separate full bath offer comfortable room for guests, family, or a home office. An interior laundry room and a rear-entry two-car garage add everyday convenience. This home is MOVE-IN READY and complemented by a brand-new HVAC system (2026) for extra peace of mind. Silverleaf is a gated, resort-style community with amenities residents love: a heated resort-style pool and spa with cabanas, covered gathering area, fitness center, playground, soccer field, two dog parks, basketball court, cornhole, and nature trails throughout the community. And from this home, it’s all right across the street! The location is just as convenient. You’re close to the Fort Hamer Bridge for an easy commute to Lakewood Ranch, with quick access to I-75, Ellenton Premium Outlets, and plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment. The home is roughly 18 miles from University Town Center and about 20 miles from the beaches of Anna Maria Island.
