This is the Grand Canal—the widest, most desirable canal in Riviera Bay. This is the address buyers wait for. You can't build another Grand Canal, and you can't create a better location. If you're going to buy waterfront, buy the one everyone wishes they owned. The house? Absolutely incredible. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, one-car garage, and updated beyond what you see on most of today's popular home improvement shows. Every finish, every space, every detail has been thoughtfully designed. The kitchen belongs on the cover of a magazine. The bathrooms are stunning. The flow is effortless. This isn't a home that needs your ideas—it already has them. Just move in and start enjoying it. Then you step outside... The backyard is why people dream about living on the Grand Canal. Wide-open water. Incredible western exposure. Front-row seats to spectacular sunsets that never get old. Every evening feels like you're on vacation, and every guest who walks into the backyard instantly understands why this location is so special. Need room for your toys? You've got it. Outstanding side storage gives you space for a boat trailer, RV, golf cart, or all of the above. Waterfront living should be easy, and this property delivers. Living in Riviera Bay means becoming part of the best neighborhood in the world. Launch from the community boat ramp, enjoy two waterfront parks, cruise the neighborhood in your golf cart, celebrate the Christmas Boat Parade, and watch American flags line the streets on the Fourth of July. This isn't just where you live—it's where you'll want to stay. Around here, it's always a great day in Riviera Bay. Here's the bottom line... Opportunities like this don't come around often.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
