Welcome to RIVERFRONT LIVING! Nestled along the peaceful Alafia River, this one-of-a-kind property offers a million-dollar view and the perfect blend of Old Florida charm and modern comfort. Set on 1.5 acres of beautifully maintained land, this elevated 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home provides deep-water access to the Gulf, your own private boat ramp, and a large dock with electricity and water, perfect for fishing, kayaking, or launching your boat for a day on the water. Step inside and experience the essence of relaxed river life. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for more than 30 years, reflecting pride of ownership throughout. Traditional oak hardwood floors and solid wood cabinetry add warmth and character, while the three-way split floor plan offers comfort and flexibility for multigenerational living. The spacious primary suite opens to the screened lanai with tranquil river views and includes a convenient indoor laundry room. A large office provides an ideal work-from-home setup or can easily serve as a fifth bedroom or recreation space. The inviting kitchen features a deep sink, GE Profile cooktop and oven, KitchenAid dishwasher, and a convenient pass-through window to the massive screened lanai, perfect for entertaining. Abundant storage includes extra-deep, full-extension drawers, 30-inch counters, and a walk-in pantry with pocket door. The cozy family room features a Vermont Castings Defiant wood stove that efficiently heats the entire home. Downstairs, the full air-conditioned basement “A rare Florida feature” includes a plumbed sink, cool year-round air, and direct access to the backyard, making it ideal for a workshop, wine cellar, or storage. Additional highlights include an oversized two-car garage with workspace, 20' x 8' door for boats or large equipment, and softened water plumbing with a port for the whole-house vacuum system. The expansive paved driveway provides plenty of space for RVs, trailers, or guest parking, and there’s even a covered boat shed for extra storage. Peace of mind comes with extensive upgrades: a lifetime standing seam metal roof (installed 6 years ago) built to Miami-Dade HVHZ 180-mph standards, a 3-year-old heat pump/AC, and a new basement mini-split (2024). The elevated construction has protected the home through recent hurricanes, including Helene and Milton, with no flooding or wind damage. Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from your lanai or dock as moss-draped oaks, birds, and wildlife surround you in this tranquil, natural setting. Zoned R4, with no HOA fees, this property allows you to fully enjoy freedom and privacy while still being close to everything. Located just minutes from Riverview Park & Civic Center, the premier Riverview Marina, and Tiki Docks Restaurant, where you can sip a piña colada while watching boats drift by, this home perfectly balances seclusion and convenience. You’ll also find shopping, dining, top-rated schools, and a new hospital nearby. Freshly painted and move-in ready, this exceptional property is ideal as a primary residence, vacation home, or peaceful riverside retreat. Experience the best of Florida’s natural beauty and waterfront living, a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Alafia River paradise.
The Alafia River which runs quietly through Riverview and empties into the Hillsborough Bay is the focal point of this sleepy Florida town. On the weekends you will find many Riverview residents out on the Alafia River enjoying the many water activities.
