One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. IF YOU’VE BEEN DREAMING OF A RIVERFRONT LIFESTYLE IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN NEW PORT RICHEY, THIS HOME MAKES IT A REALITY. From the moment you arrive, the coastal Florida style and tropical color palette set the tone for the serene escape that awaits. Elevated an entire story, the home offers a rare combination of peace of mind and practicality. There's been NO FLOODING, not even into the garage. The ground level provides expansive tandem garage space with room for multiple vehicles, plus a golf cart, and still plenty of storage for your water toys and gear. Step upstairs into the bright, open floor plan where high ceilings and walls of glass frame private and calming views of the river. A fully retractable slider opens wide to create seamless indoor outdoor living, letting the breeze flow through. This kitchen was designed to capture Florida style, with solid wood cabinets and quality craftsmanship. The primary suite offers a walk in closet and ensuite with a garden tub and a jetted shower. The home features multiple outdoor living spaces, including two back balconies overlooking the water and a welcoming front porch. Out back, mature tropical landscaping surrounds your private paradise, offering shaded spots to relax and unwind. At the water’s edge, a floating dock installed in 2019 invites you to launch a kayak, fish, or simply enjoy the beauty of the Cotee River. Additional peace of mind comes with a new roof and HVAC system, both replaced in 2023. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the balcony, afternoons on the water, and evenings strolling through downtown New Port Richey’s charming shops, restaurants, and parks. With quick access to Tampa, St. Pete, and the Gulf beaches, you are perfectly positioned for both work and play. Opportunities like this, a no flood riverfront home in a vibrant downtown location, are rare. Scrolling through the photos will give you a glimpse of how special this home is, but SEEING IT IN PERSON will likely make you FALL IN LOVE. Do not miss your chance and schedule your private tour.
