Set within the Tara Preserve community, this bright and open residence offers a practical layout, peaceful views, and low maintenance living in a highly convenient Bradenton location. Vaulted ceilings and warm wood floors create an immediate sense of space, while the open layout flows naturally from the living area to a screened balcony overlooking preserved greenery and the golf course. The view is open and calm, with no buildings crowding the sightlines. The kitchen is clean and functional with crisp cabinetry, recessed lighting, modern appliances, and a built in workspace that fits everyday living without wasted space. The interior has been freshly painted, giving the home a clean, move in ready feel. The split bedroom layout provides privacy, with the primary suite featuring high ceilings, natural light, balcony access, and an updated bathroom with dual vanities and a walk in shower. The secondary bedroom is well positioned for guests or a home office. Major updates add peace of mind, including new roofs replaced (and fully paid for) in 2024 and a high efficiency air conditioning system recently installed. The one car garage includes substantial additional storage, a rare bonus for this style of home. Orchid Cove residents enjoy their own community pool, while Tara Preserve also offers a community pool and spa, tennis courts, walking paths through preserved greenspace, and a public golf course with clubhouse and on site restaurant. Located just minutes from I 75, UTC Mall, dining, shopping, downtown Bradenton, and Gulf Coast beaches, this home works well as a full time residence, seasonal retreat, or long term investment. Low maintenance, high livability.
