Jordan Chancey Announces Successful Sale of Custom Sarasota Bayfront Estate on Tidy Island in Bradenton, Florida

A distinctive Coastal Southern Colonial residence at 41 Tidy Island Boulevard closes at $396 per square foot following nearly 40 years of ownership by the original owner.

BRADENTON, FL | November 2026 — Local luxury waterfront real estate specialist Jordan Chancey of Matthew Guthrie & Associates Realty has announced the successful sale of 41 Tidy Island Boulevard, a custom Coastal Southern Colonial estate overlooking Sarasota Bay in Bradenton, Florida.

Located within the exclusive gated Tidy Island community, the residence was originally built in 1986 and enjoyed by its original owner as a Florida retreat for nearly four decades. With its distinctive Southern Colonial architecture, custom design, and waterfront setting, the property represents a unique segment of Sarasota Bay luxury real estate.

The home sold for $396 per square foot, achieving a sales price hundreds of thousands of dollars higher than some had anticipated based on surrounding market activity.

"This was a special home, and one that wasn't easily compared to other properties on the market," said Chancey. "When you have a custom estate with this kind of architecture, character, and location directly on Sarasota Bay, you have to look beyond the typical comparable sales. We believed in the value of the property and developed a marketing approach around what made it different."

A Distinctive Waterfront Estate in One of Bradenton's Most Unique Communities

Tidy Island is a private, gated residential community situated along Sarasota Bay, known for its natural surroundings, waterfront residences, and low-density development.

The island offers a peaceful coastal setting while remaining conveniently located near IMG Academy, the growing SeaFlower community, and the new SeaFlower shopping village in west Bradenton. Residents also enjoy proximity to Anna Maria Island, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, and the greater Sarasota-Bradenton area.

The sale of 41 Tidy Island Boulevard highlights the continued appeal of distinctive waterfront properties that offer architectural character, privacy, and a location that is difficult to duplicate.

A Thoughtfully Planned Transition After Nearly 40 Years

The sale also represented an important lifestyle transition for the original owner, who had enjoyed the residence since its construction in 1986.

After nearly four decades, the decision to downsize required considerably more coordination than a traditional real estate transaction. The process included preparing the property for market, organizing an estate sale, coordinating local vendors, and successfully completing the closing while the seller was out of state.

According to Chancey, these types of moves benefit from early planning and a clear understanding of the steps involved.

"When someone has owned a home for 40 years, there's a lot more to consider than just the sale itself. We started early, worked through the details along the way, and made sure the seller had someone local to handle things when they couldn't be here. That's an important part of the service we provide."

Experience Representing Unique Waterfront Homes and Complex Real Estate Moves

With more than $25 million in Tidy Island real estate sales, Chancey has extensive experience representing luxury waterfront residences, custom estates, and distinctive properties throughout Sarasota Bay and the Manatee River region.

His services also include assisting high-net-worth homeowners with downsizing, rightsizing, estate property sales, second-home transitions, and complex relocations that often require additional planning and coordination.

"Not every property fits neatly into a comparable sales report, and not every move is straightforward. Understanding the property is important, but understanding the homeowner's overall goals is just as valuable. Our work often begins long before a home is listed."

The successful closing of 41 Tidy Island Boulevard reflects both the enduring appeal of unique coastal estates and the importance of experienced local representation when selling a property with decades of ownership and history.
