257 SHERWOOD DRIVE #257

Just a few miles from the sugar-sand beaches of Anna Maria Island lies Wildewood Springs, a lush tropical sanctuary where time seems to slow and nature takes the lead. Beneath the sweeping canopy of century-old oaks and flowering trees, this beloved community blends Old Florida charm with resort-style living—complete with seven sparkling pools with spas and tennis courts nestled among winding paths.<br />Tucked quietly within this serene setting is a beautifully remodeled and turnkey furnished two-bedroom, two-bath villa-style condo that feels more like a private retreat than a residence. From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal shines with mature landscaping and a decorative front entry that welcomes you home. Inside, every detail has been thoughtfully updated—from the modern kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a subway tile backsplash, to the fresh flooring and crown molding that tie the open living spaces together. The HVAC is less than 3 years old and under a maintenance contract. Since remodeling with all new appliances including washer and dryer, this condo was a vacation home and lightly used.<br />The spacious primary suite offers abundant closet space and sliding doors that open to an enclosed lanai, creating the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or peaceful evenings surrounded by nature. Both bathrooms feature elegant tiled showers and granite vanities, while the guest bedroom and living areas maintain the light, airy feel that defines Florida living. An extra-large storage closet off the lanai and a deeded carport add practicality to the beauty.<br />Residents of Wildewood Springs enjoy a pet-friendly lifestyle and access to multiple pools, spas, and pickleball courts throughout the community. Designated as an official Wildlife and Bird Sanctuary by the Florida Audubon Society, it’s common to spot herons and egrets gliding over tranquil ponds. Just minutes from golf, shopping, restaurants, the State College of Florida, and Sarasota International Airport, this home offers the ideal blend of peace and convenience.<br />Wildewood Springs Condominium Association I is well-run and stable offering a low maintenance life. Reasonable HOA fees include Digital Cable TV and High-Speed Internet, Night Security Patrol, Water, Sewer, garbage, and pest control. Your only utility expense will be your electric bill.<br />Whether you’re searching for a full-time Florida home or a turnkey move-in ready seasonal escape, this immaculate condo delivers comfort, character, and connection to one of Bradenton’s most timeless communities.
