Welcome to 8596 SW Riverside Drive, a one-of-a-kind retreat in the desirable River Oaks community of Southwest DeSoto County. Set on approximately one acre encompassing TWO FULL LOTS, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and an exceptional indoor-outdoor Florida lifestyle. Surrounded by mature oak trees and lush landscaping, the property feels more like a private park than a traditional residential setting, yet Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, and Arcadia are all approximately 20 minutes away. Built in 2005 by Fero Homes, the residence offers more than 2,200 square feet of air-conditioned living space with an inviting great-room layout and an impressive list of upgrades. A striking flagstone entry welcomes you inside, where soaring tray ceilings, ceramic tile flooring, built-in shelving, and a gas fireplace create a warm atmosphere. The great room also features disappearing corner glass sliders that open the home to the expansive screened outdoor living area. The spacious kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring abundant hardwood cabinetry, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, newer stainless-steel appliances, and a generous dinette area. A separate formal dining area provides additional space for gatherings, while the custom built-in wet bar—with wine refrigerator and wood display cabinetry—adds an elegant finishing touch. The outdoor living space is truly exceptional. Nearly 1,200 square feet of screened enclosure surrounds the back of the home, including approximately 300 square feet under roof. Paver decking, a beautiful Koi pond, and a second gas fireplace create a private oasis where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The enclosure can be accessed from the great room, kitchen, primary suite, and a guest bedroom, making it an extension of the home's living space. The spacious primary suite features a custom walk-through closet with direct access to the laundry room and a convenient day desk. The ensuite bath includes dual vanities, a large jetted soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. A three-car attached garage provides tremendous versatility and storage. The separate third garage bay is air conditioned and finished as a dedicated workshop or hobby space, complete with both front- and rear-facing overhead doors. Additional features include storm protection for the windows, a 50-gallon propane tank, circular driveway, irrigation system, in-wall pest control system, Bose surround sound/intercom, three skylights, a 240V RV/vehicle power station outside the workshop, and finished, dry-walled attic storage. If you're looking for a spacious Florida home with room to breathe, exceptional outdoor living, and the privacy of an oversized property without sacrificing convenience, this property is worth seeing!
