If youve ever dreamt of telling people you live in a home with a river view in Riverview, here is your chance to finally be that person! Perched directly on the Alafia River with a glorious 77 feet of private water frontage, this 3,059 sq. ft. beauty is tailor made for nature lovers, sunset chasers, and anyone who wants the Florida resort lifestyle without the permanent mortgage. With 4 bedrooms and 3 baths sprawled over nearly half an acre, there is more than enough room to host a legendary Florida cookout or just hide from your roommates in peace, because sometimes "togetherness" is best enjoyed from a completely different floor of the house. Inside, the first floor strikes the perfect balance between "house beautiful" and "house practical," anchored by stunning LVP flooring that is as durable as it is stylish perfect for a life lived partially on the water. The massive family room boasts a fireplace and windows so huge theyre basically 4K high definition TV screens for professional grade manatee watching. In the kitchen, youll find granite countertops and solid wood cabinets ready to handle everything from a desperate bowl of "cereal for dinner" to gourmet feasts. This layout is a total game changer thanks to dual primary suites one upstairs and one downstairs providing the ultimate "peace treaty" for multigenerational living or house sharing. And for those who believe a bedroom should feel like a walk in freezer, two of the bedrooms feature additional mini split AC units, allowing you to dial in an "Arctic Tundra" level of chill for the perfect night's sleep. But lets talk logistics, because even a river captain needs snacks. You are perfectly positioned near the best of Riverview: grab a celebratory "I have a private dock" dinner at The Talking Pinto or Justins Pizza, and youre only minutes away from the Riverview Civic Center and Riverview Neighborhood Park. If you have "little captains" in tow, youre less than 3 miles from Boyette Springs Elementary and Riverview High School (Go Sharks!), and youre just a 5 minute dash to Publix at Rivercrest Commons or Winthrop Town Centre. The backyard is where your social life gets a major upgrade and your friends suddenly start texting you every Saturday morning to see if the boat is ready. Grab a world famous PubSub, head down to your private dock, and have a sunset picnic as the sky explodes into colors you didn't know existed, watching the sunset reflection dance on the water in a way that makes your living room look like a postcard. Drop the boat in and take a scenic cruise up river to Tiki Docks River Bar & Grill for a Mai Tai, or head toward the bay to hit up The Rivers Edge or Jerrys Dockside. Whether youre scouting for dolphins from your shared upstairs balcony or launching a kayak, this home proves that in Riverview, living up to the name isnt just a suggestion its the entire point. Between the updated spa like ensuite (hello, jetted tub!) and the 2 car garage for your land vessels, the only thing missing from this slice of paradise is you and your captains hat.
