1018 OVERLOOK COURT BRADENTON FL 34208 | MLS #A4690257

Why settle for a canal home looking across at your neighbors when you can have the privacy, openness, and wide water views of a Gulf-access lake?

Wake up to calm water, soft morning light, and a setting that makes home feel like a retreat. From the moment you pass through the gated entry and arrive along the sweeping paver driveway with professional lighting, the pace starts to change.

Inside, a wall of sliding glass doors opens the main living spaces to the water and lets the coastal breeze move through the home. Mornings begin with coffee overlooking the lake. Afternoons drift toward the lanai and saltwater pool. Evenings settle in beside the waterfall or out on the water. With a private dock and 12,000 lb boat lift already in place, the waterfront lifestyle is not something you have to plan for later. It is ready when you are.

The interior brings together warmth, character, and everyday function. Exposed wood ceiling beams give the main living area a distinctive architectural feel, while the refreshed kitchen features granite countertops, a gas range, neutral tile backsplash, and reverse osmosis water system. A dedicated office enclosed by French doors creates a private workspace, and the split layout gives guests their own comfortable wing with two bedrooms connected by an updated Jack and Jill bath.

The primary suite is designed as a true retreat, with shiplap detailed tray ceilings and a spa inspired bath featuring custom framed mirrors, a soaking tub, and a glass enclosed shower.

Outside, the lanai is built to make the most of the setting, with Clearview screening that preserves the panoramic water views and motorized screens for added comfort. The saltwater pool and waterfall create an easy extension of the living space, while the finished garage adds epoxy flooring and built in storage. A whole home water softener, laundry room utility sink, generator hookup, and leased solar panels add practical value behind the scenes, with the solar panels available for the buyer to assume or remove depending on preference.

Tidewater Preserve extends the lifestyle beyond the property itself. The gated community sits along the Manatee River and offers resort style amenities designed for staying active, social, and connected to the water.

And while the setting feels tucked away, the location keeps everyday life convenient. I 75, UTC shopping and dining, downtown Bradenton’s waterfront, the airport, and the area’s well known beaches are all within easy reach.

This is waterfront living with room to breathe. More privacy. More open water. More time outside. More mornings that start slowly and evenings that naturally find their way back to the water.
