Step inside, and the evening begins. Golden light pours through floor-to-ceiling glass, the marina glitters below, and the Manatee River stretches toward the Gulf. Welcome to one of the rarest addresses at Laguna at Riviera Dunes: a two-story, 4,244-square-foot penthouse where every detail has already been designed, renovated, and finished. There are no contractors, no dust, and no waiting.
Pour something from the whiskey bar, rack up a game in the billiard room, or let the conversation spill from the great room onto the covered terrace and open sun deck over the marina as the sun goes down. Linear electric fireplaces warm both the lounge and the great room, where a lit built-in media wall anchors the space. The upper level holds a whiskey bar and wine bar; the lower level has its own wine and coffee bar, with wine refrigerators on both floors. A private residence elevator and a staircase connect the two levels. The office opens to a balcony and has custom cabinetry, seating for two, five built-in file drawers, and under-lighting.
Ten-foot ceilings, new LVP and porcelain tile flooring, and custom electric shades on the sliders set a sleek, modern tone throughout. The kitchen was extended and finished in quartz and soapstone, with a new island and custom built-in table, glass-front display cabinetry, LG ThinQ appliances including a refrigerator with Craft Ice, and a pantry with custom shelving and its own appliance area.
Three en-suite bedrooms include a primary suite with two feature walls of custom lighting, a built-in dresser, makeup vanity and nightstands, blackout shades with an added privacy shade, and a balcony overlooking the marina. Two separate primary baths each with a custom walk-in closet; one bath centers on a freestanding soaking tub set inside a glass-enclosed shower. The guest baths have walk-in showers and floating vanities with under-lighting. There are four full and one half baths in all, and the laundry room adds custom wood doors and a built-in dog bath.
The big-ticket items are done too. New roof in 2025 with all assessments paid, two new A/C systems, a new water heater, impact windows and sliders refitted with new rollers and hardware, and a recently completed SIRS inspection and reserve study. A deeded, oversized, enclosed two-car garage beneath the building provides secure parking and abundant storage.
Life here revolves around the water. This 24-hour guard-gated boating community surrounds a storm-resistant, deep-water marina, with slips available for purchase or lease. A community pool and spa, tennis courts, a fitness center, a covered outdoor pavilion, and a clubhouse with a full kitchen and library are all on site, and next door, Riviera Dunes Dockside restaurant has a private entrance for residents. Downtown Bradenton sits just across the river, and the beaches of Anna Maria Island and the dining of Sarasota are an easy drive.
All that's left is to move in.
