The story
Florida just passed Amendment 3. Close by December 31 and you can file homestead for 2027, when the exemption on non-school property taxes jumps to $150,000 (and $250,000 in 2028). Relocating? Become a Florida resident before year-end to skip the 5-year wait new residents face for the larger exemption. This home sits on a corner lot in Boyette Park, a gated Mattamy Homes community. The corner position gives you more space between neighbors and more yard than an interior lot. This single-story home has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a separate office and about 1,750 heated square feet, plus a two-car garage with a ton of storage. Inside, tile runs through every main living space, and plantation shutters on every window give the whole house a clean, finished look while letting you control the Florida sun room by room. The 15x13 living room centers on a decorative feature wall with electric fireplace gives the space a real focal point. Next to it, a 15x10 dining room, perfect for large gatherings. The kitchen has quartz countertops and ceramic tile, and quartz carries into both bathrooms. The 11x10 office has built in cabinets and a two sided desk, tile floors and its own door, so it works as a real workspace rather than a corner of the bedroom. Use it for remote work, a homeschool room, a den or a guest space. The 17x12 primary bedroom is tiled and has a walk-in closet with a built-in closet system already installed. Both secondary bedrooms, 10x10 and 10x11, have built-in closet organizers, so storage is handled from day one. The extended, tiled and fully screened lanai is where family gatherings stretch into the evening, the game is on the TV, and everything you need is already stored in the built-in cabinets. When the crowd heads home, the free-standing hot tub is waiting, and it stays with the house. There’s no pool to maintain, but with the hot tub and a screened lanai built for hosting, you won’t miss it. The property is in flood zone X, which means minimal flood risk and NO FLOOD INSURANCE. Boyette Park keeps Riverview and Brandon conveniences close: shopping, dining, groceries and Hillsborough County public schools. Boyette Road and Bloomingdale Avenue connect you to I-75 and the Selmon Expressway for the commute to downtown Tampa, MacDill AFB and the rest of Tampa Bay. On weekends, the Alafia River, local parks and Gulf beaches are all within easy reach. If you’re looking for a single-story home for sale in Riverview, FL with a screened lanai, a hot tub, a dedicated home office, quartz counters and a corner lot, this home delivers all of it without a renovation list. The owners have hosted family on that lanai for years, and it’s ready for the next household to do the same. Schedule your private showing and see the lanai for yourself.
