The spacious great room features impact glass sliders that open to an expansive screened lanai with epoxy flooring — the perfect setting to relax, entertain, and watch boats glide by.

A formal dining area and an additional eat-in space provide flexibility for gatherings both large and intimate. New dishwasher, microwave and disposal add modern convenience. The primary suite is a serene waterfront retreat, highlighted by a tray ceiling, private access to the lanai, a generous walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms feature recently installed luxury vinyl flooring and new blinds, offering comfort and style for guests or a home office. Hurricane impact windows and sliders, a whole-house water filtration system, and a laundry room with sink and ample cabinetry enhance both function and peace of mind. The two-car garage with epoxy floors provides pristine storage space. Just steps from The Lodge at Tidewater Preserve amenity center and a short stroll to the marina, Tidewater Preserve offers an unmatched resort-style lifestyle with three pools, two fitness centers, tennis courts, kayak launch, scenic nature trails, a dog park, playground, clubhouse with billiards and kitchen, and a vibrant social calendar featuring boat parades and live music.
