About 714 Riviera Dunes Way
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to the Island at Riviera Dunes, an exclusive gated enclave on the Manatee River where a select collection of custom waterfront residences surrounds one of the Gulf Coast's most protected deepwater harbors. Built by John Cannon, a name synonymous with fine craftsmanship on Florida's west coast, this 4,412 square foot residence offers a private slip for yachts up to 60 feet, moments from open water on the Manatee River and Tampa Bay. For the serious boater, this is the rare combination that defines true waterfront luxury, a hurricane safe harbor at your back door and unrestricted access ahead. Among the newer homes in the community, it also stands elevated above its neighbors, with impact windows and doors throughout and full pocketing infinity sliders that dissolve the line between indoors and out. The interior carries the scale and detail expected of a custom estate. Twelve foot ceilings, layered crown moulding, and a beamed great room open through walls of glass to the marina beyond. The kitchen pairs Sub-Zero and Wolf with an electric wall oven, Bosch dishwasher, granite surfaces, tall soft-close cabinetry crowned by lighted glass uppers, a wine cooler, and a hidden walk-in pantry. For the collector, a temperature controlled wine room holds up to 1,200 bottles in custom racking. The main level primary suite is its own retreat, with a tray ceiling, a private slider to the pool terrace, and a fully fitted walk-in closet. The bath offers dual vanities, a jetted soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. A handsome study with cherry wood floors and plantation shutters anchors the front of the home and offers the flexibility to serve as an additional bedroom. A guest half bath and a pool bath with shower complete the main level. Upstairs, ten foot ceilings continue through an entertainment loft with a wet bar and beverage refrigerator, where pocket sliders open to a screened balcony above the harbor. A private theater with projection screen and tiered seating could serve as a fifth bedroom, joined by two guest bedrooms with walk-in closets, one with a private ensuite bath and the other served by a full bath shared with the loft. Outdoor living is equally considered. A gas heated saltwater pool and spa overlook the yacht basin, served by a full outdoor kitchen with grill, hood, refrigerator, and sink, and warmed by a gas fireplace on cooler evenings, all steps from your dock. Three recently replaced HVAC systems, a Generac generator, a gas tankless water heater, and a tandem three car garage complete the offering. Residents enjoy three private marinas, multiple pools, fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, walking paths, a fuel dock, and waterfront dining at Dockside. Downtown Bradenton sits just across the river, with Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa, and the beaches of Anna Maria Island within easy reach. **THIS PROPERTY QUALIFIES FOR A 1% LENDER INCENTIVE IF USING PREFERRED LENDER.
