Nestled within the peaceful, riverfront community of Glory Gardens at Christian Retreat, this coveted second-floor THREE-BEDROOM condo blends comfort, flexibility, and thoughtful updates — all designed for a lifestyle that values both peace and simplicity. A private staircase with a motorized chair lift leads to a sweeping great room–style interior, where laminate wood flooring stretches throughout the main living areas. The kitchen features a plethora of cabinetry, excellent prep space, and a layout that opens beautifully into the main living and dining areas — ideal for hosting guests in any quantity at one of the many fast-approaching holiday gatherings. Just off the kitchen, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find another naturally lit bonus room that affords you the perfect spot for a home office, creative studio, or cozy den. Across the home, the primary suite awaits — tucked away with plush new carpeting, custom built-in closets, a private en suite bath, and access to an open-air balcony with a tranquil, unobstructed view, where one can sit while taking in the cool morning breeze and sipping on a cup of their favorite brew. Every inch of this home has been designed for easy living, with plenty of storage, natural light, and a floor plan that flows effortlessly.

Not only is this unique 55+ community MAINTENANCE-FREE, but residents also get to take advantage of local walking trails, a large heated pool, tennis and basketball courts, fishing in the Manatee River, and — if all that isn’t good enough — one can launch a kayak or paddleboard and take a serene cruise on the river’s calm waters. Located just minutes from shopping, restaurants, medical care, and the renowned Gulf Coast’s sandy shoreline, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and quiet surroundings. Whether you're here for the season or staying for good, this residence provides the space, flexibility, and ease to enjoy Florida living to the fullest.
