About This Home
Welcome to this spacious 4-bedroom home in the highly desirable Riviera Estates community. Featuring a split floor plan, high ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace with a beautiful stone surround, and a huge covered back porch, this home is designed for comfortable coastal living. This home sits on a spacious 0.21-acre lot, offering ample space for outdoor living and even room to add a pool.
Key updates include a new roof (2018), HVAC system (2024), and water heater (2022). The home also comes equipped with hurricane shutters and a 6.5 kW Honda portable emergency backup generator with a 30-amp feed providing peace of mind during storm season.
Riviera Estates is one of the few beachside communities with its own private dock on the river, ideal for fishing, taking in breathtaking sunsets, or using the boat loading ramp—all for a low HOA fee of just $60 per year.
Located three blocks from the ocean, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of both river and beachside living.
