Under contract-accepting backup offers. Wake up to sweeping panoramic views of the Manatee River from this rarely available top-floor, westerly-facing end-unit in the exclusive gated community of Tidewater Preserve. This top-floor residence has the highly sought-after Carolina floor plan with a private elevator in the building. It offers three bedrooms, two baths, and an open-concept design that allows for breathtaking water views from most of the unit. With no neighbors above, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light, this unit delivers the rare sense of space and serenity that defines Florida living at its finest. As the sun sets, the residence transforms: the sparkling downtown Bradenton skyline glimmers on the horizon, dolphins glide through the water below, boaters cruise along the river, and there are front-row views of Fourth of July fireworks over the river every year. Expansive sliding glass doors open to a screened balcony — equipped with no-see-um screens and a roll-down shade — offering a private outdoor space to savor the vibrant sunsets. Inside, thoughtful upgrades reflect a refined coastal aesthetic: new lighting, upgraded hardware, upgraded ceiling fans, a striking coastal wood accent wall, and a soft, cohesive color palette throughout. Plush neutral carpeting anchors the primary and secondary bedrooms, while the third bedroom features durable vinyl wood plank flooring. The kitchen has shaker cabinets with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a sleek glass backsplash. Smart home features include an integrated door lock system, Ring doorbell, and smart thermostat. The primary bedroom has striking views out to the Manatee River as well as two closets and a generously-sized primary bathroom. The hurricane-rated windows throughout provide both storm protection and energy efficiency, while biannual HVAC servicing since 2020 ensures the home has been meticulously maintained. Residents can enjoy Tidewater Preserve's resort-caliber amenities: a private marina with direct access to the Manatee River and the Gulf beyond via a covered boat lift, two clubhouses, three pools, two fitness centers, outdoor grill stations, a playground, a dedicated dog park, tennis courts, a kayak/canoe/SUP launch with storage, a scenic riverfront nature trail, and an on-site lifestyle director.
