GORGEOUS RIVER VIEWS, EXCEPTIONAL BOATING & A FANTASTIC KITCHEN! Riverfront living in Alva with 175 feet of waterfront, privacy, and an outdoor lifestyle that is hard to replicate. Located in desirable River Oaks, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, spectacular views of the river west of the Franklin Lock, and a property that has never flooded.
The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, dining, and fantastically updated kitchen, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Renovated in 2022, the kitchen features gorgeous dolomite countertops, a soapstone farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel appliances. Large hurricane-rated sliders open the living area to the screened lanai, infinity pool, and breathtaking river views.
The outdoor space is designed for enjoying the Florida lifestyle. The infinity pool features a heater and chiller added in 2023, while more than 2,000 square feet of tiered pavers provide plenty of room for dining, entertaining, and relaxing. The fenced yard adds privacy and usable space.
Boaters will love the 175 feet of waterfront, including 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. Located west of the Franklin Locks, you can head out on the water for the day, then return home to watch dolphins, manatees, and eagles from your own backyard.
Major updates include a 2022 metal roof, 2023 A/C, 2023 water heater, updated ductwork, and new hurricane sliders. The home has never flooded, and an assumable flood policy is currently under $1,700/year.
Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, family gathering place, or private riverfront retreat, this Alva property delivers gorgeous views, exceptional boating, a fantastic kitchen, and outstanding outdoor living in the peaceful River Oaks community.
