7226 Alafia Ridge Loop Riverview, FL 33569

Just Reduced! Welcome to your dream riverfront retreat in Riverview, Florida! Enjoy boating, fishing, and peaceful water views from this elevated, high-and-dry home that remained untouched by recent hurricanes. Nestled on over half an acre in a tranquil, wooded setting, this isn’t your typical waterfront experience. It offers privacy, nature, and space—yet you're still just a short boat ride to Tampa Bay! And a handful of docks away, you'll find The Ditty—a charming, spring-fed spot on the Alafia River where locals on boats and jet skis gather for sun-soaked fun and relaxation. A huge bonus is the DETACHED ACCESSORY DWELLING, already equipped with working electric and plumbing—ready to be finished into an in-law suite, guest house, or even a riverfront Airbnb (verify use with county). So many possibilities for added value and flexibility! This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home features an open floor plan with a natural flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen. The third bedroom is currently used as an office, offering potential for flexible use or expansion. The real showstopper is the expansive great room just off the main living area—surrounded by three walls of windows overlooking the river, with vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, a tiki bar, and plenty of space for entertaining. It currently houses a pool table and jukebox, but could easily serve as a family room, media room, or multi-functional recreational space. The primary suite is spacious and peaceful with two walk-in closets and an ensuite bath featuring a stall shower. A second full bath includes a tub/shower combo, and the large laundry room offers ample storage. Need room for your toys or tools? The LARGE DETACHED 24' x 36' metal garage (2021) features two garage doors on opposite sides for drive-through access—perfect for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone who wants space to build, tinker, or store. Recent updates include: Roof (7 years), HVAC (7 years), New Windows (2024), Updated Kitchen with quartz counters & stainless appliances (within last 5 years), and new plumbing (2019). Don’t miss this opportunity to own a versatile riverfront home with income potential, tucked away in a unique wooded setting that feels worlds apart—yet is still connected to everything Tampa Bay has to offer!
