Welcome to Tidewater Preserve, a gated waterfront community just east of downtown Bradenton, ideally located near I-75 for an easy commute to St. Petersburg and Sarasota. This gorgeous, updated, and impeccably maintained bottom-floor corner residence offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a 2-car garage, and is being sold fully furnished, turnkey. With its private entry and spacious layout, the home lives more like a single-family residence. An inviting foyer welcomes you inside, opening to a formal dining area and an expansive open-concept living space—ideal for entertaining. The enclosed screened lanai is the perfect spot to enjoy peaceful sunrise views and tranquil marina scenery. This corner unit overlooks the marina and is just a short walk across the paved drive to the community pool. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with 42” cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island, a stylish backsplash, and premium stainless-steel appliances. Recent updates include new bedroom flooring, well-maintained tile throughout the main living areas, fresh exterior and lanai paint, new no-see-um lanai screening, a new washer and new water heater, hurricane shutters, and impact-rated sliders.
