Let's face it. Some homes for sale claim to have a "lake view". In reality, those lake views show more like a puddle in your backyard. You know, the ones that you can reach across the lanai and borrow some sugar from your neighbor. While that may be nice if you want to make some chocolate chip cookies (or maybe oatmeal raisin, I am not particular), what we really want is a MASSIVE LAKE VIEW, right? Hard to find at this price point, I know. You can always change the interior finishes of a home, but you can never change your view. But good news awaits you! Prepare yourself for an experience and cast your eyes over a 55 acre lagoon and marina in one of the premier locations in Tidewater Preserve. The front of the home even sports a manicured landscape with a variety of Florida foliage too. This magnificent location is complemented by an interior layout that is designed on an open concept with high levels of natural light. With three large glass sliders on the lanai, the centerpiece attraction in the great room is that long crystal blue lake view. Real hardwood floors extend through the main areas and add an element of soothing warmth and coziness. A substantial tray ceiling with cross beams in the main gathering area adds a flair of sophistication and the elevated ceilings make the home feel voluminous. The beautiful Kitchen is open to great the room. Some highlights include gorgeous 42 inch decorative recessed cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and walk-in Pantry. With 3 bedrooms and a den, this maintenance free carriage home has plenty of room to accommodate friends and family. Of course, the elevator and 2 car garage are fabulous condo features too. Even better...NO CDD FEES!!! Tidewater provides a RESORT STYLE POOL OVERLOOKING THE MANATEE RIVER (talk about amazing), 3 Har Tru Tennis courts, Fitness center, boardwalk, 2 Clubhouses, Marina, Lifestyle Activities Director, nature trails, Kayak/Canoe launch. Dog park/Playground AND Direct access to River and Gulf of Mexico. Close to shopping, medical, UTC Mall, restaurants, several beaches, I-75 and airports.
