Room to Live Comfortably

1,857 Sq. Ft.

Three true bedrooms, generous living and dining spaces, vaulted ceilings and a pond-view screened lanai give this condo the space many buyers hope to find when downsizing.

Why This Sweetwater Condo Stands Out

Condo living doesn't have to mean giving up the rooms, storage, and comfortable living spaces you're accustomed to.

8686 Little Swift Circle is the Cormorant floor plan, the largest carriage-style floor plan in The Tides. Its upper-level position allows the living area to extend over the garage, creating more interior space while also providing the vaulted ceilings that give the main living areas an open, airy feel.

The result is a home that combines the convenience of condominium ownership with a floor plan that still feels substantial enough for everyday living, guests, hobbies, and entertaining.

Vaulted Ceilings, Natural Light & a Pond View

The great room is one of the home's most inviting spaces. Vaulted ceilings add height and openness, while the living area flows naturally toward the screened lanai and the pond beyond.

Step outside and the pace changes. The screened lanai gives you a comfortable place to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, visit with friends, or simply watch the changing light across the water.

And when you're ready to head inside, there's no lawn waiting to be mowed and no backyard landscaping demanding your attention.

A Spacious Kitchen Designed for Everyday Living

The kitchen offers quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a pantry, and breakfast bar, with generous workspace and storage for everyday cooking.

There is also open floor space where many owners may choose to add a center island, while the separate dining room provides plenty of room for meals, entertaining, holiday gatherings, or simply sitting down with friends.

For buyers moving from a larger home, having both a substantial kitchen and a separate dining area can make downsizing feel much less like a compromise.

Three Bedrooms Give You Space and Flexibility

One of the most valuable features of 8686 Little Swift Circle is its true three-bedroom layout.

The private primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, dual sinks, and an oversized walk-in shower with frameless glass. Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable space for overnight guests while still giving you options for an office, hobby room, reading room, exercise space, or whatever fits the way you want to live.

A true third bedroom provides valuable flexibility for guests, hobbies or a home office.

The Cormorant Floor Plan

The Cormorant is the largest carriage-style condo floor plan in The Tides at Sweetwater by Del Webb. This upper-level design offers approximately 1,857 square feet and combines three bedrooms with expansive living areas, an attached garage, screened outdoor living, and vaulted ceilings.

The private staircase leads from the entry foyer to the main living level. Once upstairs, the residence lives entirely on one floor.

That upper-level location also means there is no residence above you—an important distinction for buyers who like the convenience of condominium ownership but still value privacy.

Low-Maintenance Living in The Tides

One of the major advantages of owning a condo in The Tides is the amount of exterior maintenance that is handled for you.

Exterior Services Currently Provided by The Tides Association

  • Exterior building insurance
  • Roof maintenance
  • Building exterior maintenance
  • Landscaping
  • Lawn care
  • Tree trimming
  • Street maintenance
  • Curb maintenance
  • Driveway paver maintenance
  • Trash service
  • Annual dryer-vent cleaning
  • Exterior window washing

For many buyers, that means less time maintaining a property and more time deciding how they actually want to spend their day.

The Tides buildings also feature block construction with concrete floors between the upper and lower residences, another feature worth considering when purchasing a condominium.

Association fees, services, insurance coverage, rules and responsibilities are subject to change. Buyers should review current Sweetwater and Tides association documents as part of their purchase due diligence.
