Property Description

Riverfront living in Alva with space, privacy, and room to enjoy Florida year-round. This home has never flooded!!! Set along 175 feet of waterfront in the desirable River Oaks community, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of comfortable living space, spectacular river views (west of the Franklin Lock) and an outdoor lifestyle that is hard to replicate.

The open floor plan connects the fantastically updated kitchen, dining, and living areas, creating an easy layout for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen was renovated in 2022 with gorgeous dolomite countertops, a soapstone farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel appliances. Large hurricane-rated sliders open the living space to the screened lanai, pool, and river beyond.

Outside, the property truly shines. The 2023 upgraded infinity pool features a heater and chiller, while more than 2,000 square feet of tiered pavers provide plenty of room for dining, relaxing, and gathering with family and friends. The fenced yard offers privacy and plenty of usable space.

For boaters and water lovers, the 175-foot waterfront includes a 7,500-lb boat lift with a 24-foot slip, a dock for two jet skis, and room to add another dock for a boat up to approximately 40 feet. Spend your days on the water and your evenings watching dolphins, manatees, and eagles from your own backyard.

Major updates provide peace of mind, including a 2022 metal roof, 2023 A/C, 2023 water heater, updated ductwork, and new hurricane sliders. The home has never flooded & offers an assumable flood policy that is currently under $1,700/year

Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a place for your family to gather, or a private riverfront retreat, this property offers the space, updates, waterfront access, and outdoor living you've been looking for—all in the peaceful Alva community of River Oaks.
