11 Tidy Island Blvd., Bradenton, FL 34210

Don’t let the photos fool you. Under all the museum-quality artwork and elegant furniture there’s a beautiful condo, renovated to contemporary standards in the very best of taste. You’ll discover a travertine floored foyer and hand-painted elevator on the ground floor. Up in the main area, also graced with travertine marble flooring, the great room features soaring ceilings, a wet bar, and room to enjoy family and friends. The view from the solarium encompasses both a close-up of mangrove forest and a 10-mile vista down Sarasota Bay. When privacy is paramount, close the shades with a touch of a button. Just off the great room is the master suite, with canopied king bed, ‘His and hers’ closets, and bath where twin sinks and a large shower complete your convenience. The kitchen is a model of efficiency, with tons of storage, wood cabinets, stone counters, and everything from wine cooler to ice maker, counter-depth frig to gas stove, double ovens to pull-out drawers. There’s also a breakfast nook and family room, with both laundry and half-bath close by. Up on three are two bedrooms, one currently used as an office, a full bath, and a loft. Consider also the large, tiled and screened porch on the ground floor, where there is also a two-car garage with an additional, cool storage room. You’re next to the community pool with a separate, shady parking place outside the front door. It’s a magnificent condo in a superior community: Tidy Island, quiet, serene, unspoiled.
