Thoroughly Updated Riverwind Cove Retreat on Over Half an Acre! Welcome to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom + den, 3-full-bath, two-story home in the sought-after Riverwind Cove community of Alva. Set on just over half an acre, this spacious property offers a wonderful combination of indoor comfort, thoughtful updates, and an exceptional outdoor lifestyle with a dock, boat lift, and jet ski lifts. Inside, the home offers multiple living spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining, along with a formal dining room and a spacious kitchen featuring an island with an integrated breakfast bar, a second breakfast bar, and a pantry. Wood-look tile flooring flows throughout the downstairs living areas, updated in 2022, while the real wood staircase was also added in 2022. Upstairs, a versatile loft with engineered wood flooring provides additional living or flex space, while the bedrooms feature comfortable carpeting. The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with an en-suite bath featuring dual sinks and a separate tub and shower. A convenient laundry area includes a laundry tub, adding functionality to the home. Step outside to enjoy the Florida lifestyle from the screened patio or balcony, or head down to the dock for time on the water.

Extensive updates provide peace of mind and modern convenience, including a whole-house reverse osmosis system, fresh interior and exterior paint, and numerous improvements completed from 2024 through 2026. Recent upgrades include a garage generator connection designed to power essentials such as the water heater and AC, a Tesla charger, new impact sliders downstairs, new washer, dryer, refrigerator, and dishwasher, and new garage door lifts. In 2026, both AC units were replaced, and the windows were replaced with impact windows, with only a few exceptions. For added peace of mind, the home did not flood during Hurricane Ian.
