About this home
Welcome to your own private retreat in the award-winning community of River Forest, where timeless craftsmanship meets the beauty of Old Florida. This custom-built 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and adventure. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features a dedicated office, spacious loft/game room, and an open, thoughtfully designed floor plan filled with natural light. Step outside to your backyard oasis complete with a custom built pool, relaxing hot tub, and gas outdoor kitchen—ideal for hosting family and friends year-round. Beyond the lanai, launch your kayak or paddleboard from your own backyard and explore the peaceful creek leading directly to the Braden River, where fishing, wildlife, and unforgettable sunsets become part of your daily routine. Inside, you'll appreciate the quality construction and thoughtful upgrades including impact-rated windows and doors throughout, a gas range, gas tankless water heater, gas pool heater, and a hookup for a dual-fuel generator, all running off of a buried propane tank. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will love the oversized 4-car tandem garage offering exceptional storage and workspace. Residents of River Forest enjoy access to a community boat dock and take pride in living in one of the area's most distinctive neighborhoods. Renowned for its commitment to preserving Florida's natural beauty, River Forest has received numerous awards for its environmental stewardship, landscape design, and community planning. This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle where nature, recreation, and exceptional living come together in one extraordinary setting.
Local Insight
At $402/sqft for a 2015 waterfront home in River Forest, you're paying a premium that's justified by direct water access and the private pool, but that AE flood zone designation means mandatory flood insurance costs will eat into your budget beyond the modest $113 HOA—factor in what your actual annual premium runs before committing. The 0.54-acre lot is tight for a $1.25M property, so you're really paying for the water frontage and modern amenities rather than land, which matters if you value privacy or outdoor space. This is the type of property where the devil's in the details: get a recent flood history, inspect how the home was built relative to current flood elevation requirements, and verify the pool maintenance costs, since that's a significant ongoing expense in Florida's heat and humidity.
