GORGEOUS RIVER VIEWS, EXCEPTIONAL BOATING & A FANTASTIC KITCHEN! Riverfront living in Alva with 175 feet of waterfront, privacy, and an outdoor lifestyle that is hard to replicate. Located in desirable River Oaks, this updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of living space, spectacular views of the river west of the Franklin Lock, and a property that has never flooded. The open floor plan seamlessly connects the living, dining, and fantastically updated kitchen, making it ideal for everyday living and entertaining. Renovated in 2022, the kitchen features gorgeous dolomite countertops, a soapstone farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel appliances.

Major updates include a 2022 metal roof, 2023 A/C, 2023 water heater, updated ductwork, and new hurricane sliders. The home has never flooded, and an assumable flood policy is currently under $1,700/year.
