A waterfront home that sits along the most touristy stretch of river in the Tampa Bay area is now on the market.
Located at 6666 W Richard Dr., the home was built in 1987 and sits on the turquoise blue, manatee-loving main section of the Weeki Wachee River.
The location is really what’s for sale, since there aren’t a lot of homes directly on this small stretch of the blue ribbon. It’s also just slightly upstream from Roger’s Park, and only a few paddles down from the intensely popular Weeki Wachee Springs State Park.
Featuring river boat tours, mermaid shows, and a water park, Weeki Wachee State Park is a classic Florida attraction, and sits at the starting point of the river, which produces about 117 million gallons of 72-74-degree water every single day.
The three-story, 2,712-square-foot home comes fully-furnished, with a total of three bedrooms and three bathrooms, as well as four-car garage, two screened-in patios, a sub-zero refrigerator and wine cooler, granite countertops, a private dock and a whole of deck.
The home is also currently being as a vacation rental, charing about $425 per night.
According to property records, the home was last sold in 2005 for $522,000. The current asking price is $1.3 million, and the listing agent is Ashley Rodriguez of JT Realty & Associates.
