Boater’s Paradise in Tidewater Preserve! Welcome to this stunning former WCI model home—a fully furnished, turnkey 3-bedroom + den, 2.5-bath, 2-car garage retreat with a private pool, spa, and your own dock and boat lift offering direct access to the Manatee River. This exceptional home is a dream come true for boating enthusiasts, seamlessly combining luxurious interior features with the ultimate waterfront lifestyle. From the moment you step into the foyer, you’ll be captivated by the unique layout and exceptional attention to detail. At the heart of the home is a beautifully designed private courtyard, complete with lush greenery, pavers, and a charming seating area—perfect for both entertaining and quiet relaxation. The courtyard connects all sides of the home, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow within one of WCI’s most sought-after floor plans. The elegant dining area flows into a chef’s kitchen that exudes both warmth and sophistication. Cream-glazed cabinetry, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and under-cabinet lighting set the stage, while KitchenAid natural gas appliances, pot filler, butler’s pantry, wine bar, and generous storage make it a cook’s dream. The oversized island even features under-counter refrigerator and freezer drawers for added convenience. Just off the kitchen, a flexible bonus room can serve as an office, breakfast nook, or additional guest space. The spacious living room, featuring custom cherry built-ins, opens to both the central courtyard and the resort-style pool and patio. Expansive hurricane-impact windows and sliding glass doors flood the home with natural light throughout. Throughout the home you will find real hardwood and tile flooring, porcelain and travertine bathrooms, plantation shutters, crown molding with rope lighting, high ceilings, and a built-in central vacuum system for added convenience and cleanliness. Step outside to your own backyard oasis featuring a sparkling pool with two water fountains and fire bowls, a relaxing spa, and the crown jewel—your private dock and boat lift just steps away from the lanai. Located in the gated, waterfront community of Tidewater Preserve, you'll enjoy access to top-tier amenities including two clubhouses, three pools, fitness center, tennis courts, kayak launch, walking trails, and more. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.
