An exceptional opportunity awaits in the guard-gated, riverfront community of Riviera Bella. Set against more than 240 acres along the St. Johns River, this resort-style neighborhood offers a rare combination of natural beauty, privacy, and upscale amenities. This spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence with a 3-car garage spans 3,489 square feet and reflects carefully selected improvements. The home is bright, open, and thoughtfully designed, with custom lighting throughout and eye-catching chandeliers that add warmth and personality to key living spaces. Architectural details such as a barn door, stone accent wall, and a custom mudroom bring both style and everyday practicality. At the heart of the home is a beautifully re-designed kitchen by KBF Gallery, created for both entertaining and daily living. A large quartz island anchors the space, complemented by upgraded gas cooking, a statement vent hood, generous cabinetry, premium appliances, and an oversized pantry that offers exceptional storage. The kitchen flows effortlessly into the family room and casual dining area, creating a welcoming space for gatherings of any size. The primary suite on the main level provides a peaceful retreat with a spacious walk-in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Upstairs, secondary bedrooms are generously sized, including one with a private en-suite bath. A substantial bonus/flex room exceeding 550 square feet, along with a custom-designed media room, adds incredible versatility—perfect for movie nights, work-from-home needs, or hobbies. Design upgrades continue with hardwood flooring in the upper flex and media rooms, wood-look tile throughout much of the main living area, upgraded baseboards, and enhanced exterior finishes. Outdoors, a screened rear porch offers a comfortable space to relax and enjoy Florida evenings, while upgraded landscaping and Mediterranean-inspired details complete the home’s curb appeal. The electrical panel has also been upgraded to accommodate an emergency generator. Riviera Bella residents enjoy access to a private boat ramp, clubhouse, resort-style pool, fitness center, media room, playground, fishing pier, and scenic riverfront views. With convenient access to shopping, dining, SunRail, I-4, Lake Mary, and downtown Sanford, this home delivers both lifestyle and location.
