About this home
7801 ALAFIA DRIVE
HGTV-WORTHY AND TRULY ONE-OF-A-KIND! Tucked behind an electronic gate on a gorgeous .92-acre homesite, this distinctive Florida ranch offers an incredible combination of style, serenity, and room to spread out—all in the heart of Riverview. Fully enclosed with vinyl fencing and accented by beautiful palm trees, the property immediately stands out with its classic brick exterior, oversized side-entry 2-car garage, manicured grounds, and impressive curb appeal. Step inside to a thoughtfully designed split-bedroom floor plan filled with warmth and personality. Beautiful bamboo flooring extends throughout much of the home, complemented by neutral finishes, natural light, and ceiling fans. The spacious living, family, and dining areas connect seamlessly, providing an easygoing layout for everyday life and entertaining. The kitchen is full of designer charm with soft sage-green cabinetry, nickel hardware, a farmhouse sink, glass-tile backsplash, and porcelain tile flooring. A breakfast bar, casual dining area, pantry, and abundant cabinetry provide both functionality and style. The nearby laundry room is equally practical with built-in cabinetry and a utility sink. The primary suite is complemented by a beautifully updated bath showcasing a custom navy-blue vanity with generous drawer and cabinet storage, farmhouse-style sink, nickel lighting, white-framed mirror, and walk-in shower. The secondary bath features a crisp white custom vanity, cultured-marble countertop, ceramic tile flooring, nickel lighting, white-framed mirror, and tub/shower combination. Florida living continues beyond the interior with several inviting areas to enjoy the surroundings. The 12' x 12' enclosed Florida room, highlighted by brick accents, creates a cozy year-round extension of the home, while the secluded rear patio with custom privacy fencing offers a wonderful spot for relaxing or entertaining. The generous backyard leaves plenty of room for gardening, pets, recreation, and future possibilities, with a greenhouse and two storage sheds providing additional versatility. Other notable features include the gated entrance, fully fenced grounds, oversized garage, PRIVATE WELL FOR IRRIGATION AND SEPTIC SYSTEM—offering the potential for additional savings—and the added benefit of being located outside a designated flood zone. THIS IS THE KIND OF PROPERTY THAT IS BECOMING HARDER TO FIND! Nearly an acre, a gated entrance, timeless brick construction, stylish interior updates, and an abundance of usable yard space come together to create something truly special. Conveniently located near shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways, 7801 Alafia Drive offers the freedom of a spacious homesite with the conveniences of Riverview just minutes away. Roof 2019.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
