41 TIDY ISLAND BLVD, Bradenton, FL 34210

About This Property

This is Southern living at full gallop, equal parts elegance, tradition, and undeniable presence from the very first moment. Offered for the very first time by its original owner, this truly one-of-a-kind Coastal Southern Colonial estate is among the rare freestanding residences on prestigious Tidy Island, gracefully positioned along the shimmering waters of Sarasota Bay behind the community’s private gates. Reminiscent of the timeless coastal estates featured in classic design magazines, this residence invites a slower, more refined way of life where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the water, dolphins surface just offshore, wading birds glide past the shoreline, and evenings conclude with the sparkling skyline lights of downtown Sarasota dancing across the bay. Inside, a grand foyer welcomes you to gracious living spaces including a classic parlor with fireplace, formal dining room, expansive kitchen with breakfast nook, and beautifully proportioned rooms designed for both comfortable living and memorable entertaining. The primary suite is thoughtfully located on the main living level and features dual walk-in closets along with a spacious en suite bath complete with soaking tub and steam shower. Upstairs, three generously sized guest bedrooms, two full baths, and a versatile loft area provide the perfect retreat for family and visiting guests. The lower level offers additional functional space along with a walkout lanai that opens directly to the backyard and seawall, creating seamless access to the waterfront setting. Built with enduring craftsmanship and attention to detail, the property also includes a private elevator, oversized three-car garage, multiple storage rooms, and a circular paver driveway that complements the estate’s stately presence. Residents of Tidy Island enjoy a unique coastal lifestyle surrounded by natural preserves, walking trails, private roads, and community amenities including tennis courts, pools, clubhouse facilities, and kayaking opportunities, all within minutes of IMG Academy, Bradenton Christian School, Saint Stephen’s Episcopal School, Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, the Gulf beaches of Anna Maria Island, and the vibrant new Seaflower shopping and dining district under construction just beyond the gates. Homes of this character rarely become available, offering the opportunity to own one of Manatee County’s most distinctive waterfront estates while enjoying the added convenience and peace of mind of maintenance-free living.
