1018 Overlook Ct Bradenton, FL 34208

Why settle for a canal when you can have a lake (WITH access to the Gulf)? Wake up to soft water views, warm morning light, and the kind of peace that makes home feel like an escape. From the moment you arrive through the gated entry and pull onto the sweeping paver driveway with professional lighting, everything about this property feels designed to slow life down in the best possible way. Open the wall of sliding glass doors and let the coastal breeze move through the living spaces. Spend quiet mornings with coffee overlooking the water, easy afternoons on the lanai, and evenings beside the saltwater pool as the waterfall spills into the background. And when you are ready to get out on the water, you do not have to wait for some future plan to make it happen. This home includes the boat, along with a private dock and 12,000 lb boat lift, so your waterfront lifestyle starts the moment you move in. Inside, the home blends warmth and function with thoughtful design throughout. Exposed wood ceiling beams bring character to the main living area, creating a space that feels both elevated and inviting. The kitchen has been beautifully refreshed with granite countertops, a gas range, neutral tile backsplash, and reverse osmosis water system. A dedicated office with French doors gives you privacy when needed, while the split layout offers a comfortable guest wing with two bedrooms connected by an updated Jack and Jill bath. The primary suite feels like its own retreat, highlighted by shiplap tray ceilings and a spa inspired bath with custom framed mirrors, a soaking tub, and a glass enclosed shower. Every space has been carefully considered to make daily living feel easy, comfortable, and refined. Beyond the home itself, Tidewater Preserve adds another layer to the lifestyle with gated entry and a resort style setting along the Manatee River. Residents enjoy access to resort style amenities that make it easy to stay active, social, and connected to the waterfront setting. Just as appealing is how connected it feels when you leave the gates. The location offers convenient access to I 75, UTC shopping and dining, downtown Bradenton's waterfront, the airport, and the area's well known beaches, so it is easy to enjoy both a tucked away waterfront setting and the everyday convenience of being close to the places people actually want to go. Outside, the lanai is enhanced with Clearview screening for panoramic water views and motorized screens for added comfort. The finished garage features epoxy flooring and built in storage, while practical upgrades like a whole home water softener, laundry room utility sink, and generator hookup add convenience behind the scenes. Leased solar panels are also in place and can be assumed by the buyer or removed depending on preference. This is the kind of home that makes it easy to picture a different pace of life. More time outside. More time on the water. More mornings that start slower and evenings that last longer.
