Imagine starting your morning with a beautiful golf course view and ending your day enjoying the peaceful surroundings from your screened lanai. Welcome to this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with a versatile den/office in the desirable Tara Preserve community of Bradenton. As you enter, you'll immediately appreciate the open, light, and bright feel of the home. Cathedral ceilings and attractive arched doorways enhance the spacious atmosphere, while the great room draws your attention toward the sliding glass doors and the beautiful scenery beyond. Step outside onto the tiled, screened lanai and discover a peaceful green setting with mature landscaping and an unobstructed view of the golf course. With no homes directly behind the property, you'll enjoy an especially appealing sense of openness and privacy. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and flows comfortably into the living and dining spaces. Just off the kitchen, the adjoining dinette is filled with natural light from the bay windows, creating a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee. A breakfast bar and separate dining area provide additional space for everyday living and entertaining. The spacious primary suite offers another wonderful vantage point overlooking the golf course. There's plenty of room for a comfortable sitting area where you can relax with a good book and take in the view. A large walk-in closet and direct sliding glass door access to the lanai add to the appeal. The primary bath features two vanities, a separate shower, and a relaxing garden tub. A second bedroom and full bath comfortably accommodate family and guests, while the versatile den provides flexibility for a home office, study, or additional living space. Plantation shutters and custom blinds add style throughout, and tile and wood-look laminate plank flooring mean there's no carpet. A two-car garage completes the home. Tara Preserve offers an active Florida lifestyle with a community swimming pool and spa, tennis courts, and pickleball. High-speed internet and cable TV are included in the HOA fee. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the flexibility of optional membership or pay-as-you-play opportunities at The Preserve Golf Club, featuring a Ted McAnlis Signature course thoughtfully designed around Florida's natural wetlands.
