917 Preservation St., Bradenton, FL 34208

This former model home has everything your heart could desire. Live in a tropical paradise in this sought-after boating community on the Manatee River, leading to the Gulf of Mexico. This well-appointed home has an open, great room plan with quadruple sliders that pocket out of sight, blending the line between indoor and outdoor living and leading out to a beautiful paver lanai. An infinity edge spa spills into the sparkling pool with its long "negative edge" leading your eye to an "Old Florida" wooded view. Add an outdoor kitchen to the already plumbed covered lanai and you are set. Staggered upgraded cabinets with under-cabinet lighting set the tone for the kitchen, complete with a center island and breakfast bar open to the great room. Stainless steel appliances and granite complete the look of luxury. Tile on the diagonal greets you as you enter through the stained glass front door. Attention to detail is evident with the assemblage of extras in this home including, music speakers throughout indoors and out, landscape lighting, central vac, paver driveway, tile roof, tray ceilings, and custom window treatments. Home has impact resistant windows throughout, except for sliders that have hurricane shutters. Tidewater Preserve amenities include boat lift and marina, two clubhouses, manned entry gate, three Har-Tru tennis courts, resort-style pool, fitness center, canoe and kayak launch, dog park, playground and maintenance-free living.
