628 RIVIERA DR

About this home

Virtually Staged. Virtually finished. Set along Riviera Drive, an exclusive waterfront enclave occupying a separate island within Davis Islands, this property enjoys approximately 100 feet of frontage on a broad canal measuring an estimated 172 feet from seawall to seawall. The generous width of the waterway lends the setting an open, airy quality, while boaters will appreciate direct access to Hillsborough Bay and Tampa Bay without fixed-bridge obstructions. The single-story residence offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and approximately 2,165 heated square feet, with details that reflect its established character. Terrazzo flooring, built-ins, crown molding, and a wood-burning fireplace lend warmth and architectural interest, while the Florida room provides a welcoming space for everyday living. An attached two-car garage adds practical convenience. Outdoors, a private swimming pool, covered porches, and mature landscaping create an inviting setting for entertaining, quiet afternoons, and evenings near the water. From the backyard and waterfront, a portion of the downtown Tampa skyline is visible, providing an additional connection to the surrounding cityscape. An existing concrete seawall frames the canal edge, further defining the property's waterfront setting. Buyers may choose to thoughtfully renovate the existing residence and carry its character forward or explore the possibility of new construction on this waterfront homesite, subject to applicable zoning, floodplain, and building requirements. Zoned RS-75 and located in flood zone AE, the property is also being marketed as a land listing. The Davis Islands Village, neighborhood parks, marina, and waterfront recreation are close at hand, while downtown Tampa, Bayshore Boulevard, and the dining, shopping, and cultural destinations of greater South Tampa are a short drive away. With its established island setting, generous waterfront frontage, and flexibility for the future, the property offers a distinctive opportunity to enjoy Davis Islands waterfront living.
