DID NOT FLOOD – Built to Last! In the heart of Riviera Bay—where “It’s always a great day!”—this waterfront home is truly one of a kind… or as Melissa Etheridge might say, "The Only One." Built just over 20 years ago to modern hurricane standards, this elevated block construction home sits at 8.8 feet above sea level, which is exactly why it stood strong through the last two hurricanes—with zero damage and no flooding. In a neighborhood of older homes, this is the only single-story waterfront property we know of that weathered the storms untouched—offering rare peace of mind and a truly exceptional opportunity. While Riviera Bay continues to recover from the recent hurricanes, the neighborhood is coming back stronger and more beautiful than ever. Residents are reimagining their landscaping, restoring beloved homes, and giving the entire community a fresh new shine. With every improvement, this beloved waterfront neighborhood is evolving into an even more vibrant and stunning version of the paradise it has always been. Designed with both comfort and style in mind, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom retreat features soaring ceilings, an open-concept floor plan, and an oversized 2-car garage with plenty of room for all your outdoor toys. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a generous island perfect for entertaining. The primary suite offers a serene escape with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet, while two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family or guests. Step outside to your beautifully landscaped yard filled with native Florida plants, offering a peaceful and private oasis. Relax on the covered, screened-in lanai and take in the tranquil canal views and protected mangroves—with no home directly across the water, your privacy is unmatched. Your private dock is ready for the best of the Tampa Bay boating lifestyle. And of course, you're in Riviera Bay—a neighborhood known for its strong sense of community and unforgettable traditions. From golf cart parades and the iconic Christmas Eve Boat Parade to lining the streets with American flags on patriotic weekends, life here is full of celebration and charm. With a community boat ramp, two nearby parks, and friendly neighbors around every corner, Riviera Bay isn’t just a place to live—it’s a way of life. Just like the song says, "I would walk through fire, I would run through the night..." to make this home mine.
