About this House
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 infinity pool features a heater and chiller (2023 upgrade), 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.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has gone severely down hill over the last couple of years. I have tried and failed at getting my daughter transferred. I could list several reasons, but this, THIS is it! My daughter is having a hard time completing her IReady assignments. She’s not as fast at learning as the school would like her to be. She failed to pass her IReady assignment the week prior so they issued her a lunch detention. While she was in detention they had the students redo the assignments they couldn’t pass. They told her and the other students that “They need to try harder to pass their test because they used to be a B school but now they are not!” Are you kidding me? I’m livid!!!!!! Why would you put that pressure on a 10 year old?!?! Why not call it study hall? Why PUNISH them? Why not encourage? Why not explain they’re getting extra time or a second chance to catch up? This school just wants to put FEAR in our children so they can rank higher!!! Absolutely disgusting!Parent Review4y ago - Manatee Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is absolutely awesome. My kids are there for over 2 years now and love it. It is a fairly new building and very clean. The principle and her 2 assistants are doing an amazing job providing for many troubled kids and their families. Staff and Teachers are the most loving and caring I have ever seen in a public school. Don't let the reputation fool you... THIS IS A GREAT SCHOOL!Parent Review11y ago - James Stephens International Academy

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has obviously made some great changes since the last review. My kids are new their this year and although it was challenging at first, all my kids teachers and the principal have gone above and beyond to help them. We had the chance to change schools after the first few weeks but all my kids didn't want to leave JSIA. Change is hard and overcoming a bad reputation from years past takes time. The leadership and teachers are making strides to make this school safe and the education for our kids quality.Parent Review11y ago
