2020 Alafia Oaks Dr Valrico, FL 33596

River Crossing- Pride of ownership shines in this well-known established Bloomingdale East neighborhood! 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths and a 3-way split floor plan, everyone has their own space. As you come in, the formal living and dining rooms are open and spacious, leading into a large family room with built-ins and plenty of natural light. The kitchen is the heart of this home and has been completely renovated with staggered custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, upgraded appliances, a beautiful backsplash and a large center prep island. There is even a walk-in pantry with solid shelving. The snack bar makes a perfect homework or laptop spot, while the breakfast nook gives you plenty of room for everyday meals with a view of the pool. The primary suite is tucked privately into the back of the home and has two walk-in closets and a beautifully renovated bath with double vanities, dressing mirror, garden tub and separate glass-enclosed shower. Two secondary bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home and share the pool bath. Toward the front is a separate guest suite with its own private hallway, full bath and spacious fourth bedroom. It is a layout that works equally well for guests, kids, extended family or a home office. There is no shortage of storage here either, with closets throughout plus a large indoor laundry room with space for a spare refrigerator. Outside is where Florida living comes in. The backyard is fully fenced with a lush lawn, and brick pavers surround the heated pool and screened lanai. There is plenty of room to relax, entertain or spend a quiet afternoon by the pool. This is an original-owner home, and it shows in how well it has been cared for. Recent improvements include a NEW HVAC in 2025, NEW electric pool heater in 2024, roof in 2019, pool resurfacing and pavers in 2022, and kitchen and bath renovations in 2017. Other thoughtful extras include a Ring system, under-sink water filter, electric blinds, attic stairs and Starlink Wi-Fi. And then there is the location. River Crossing offers low HOA fees and is surrounded by some of the area's most popular schools, shopping and restaurants. Bloomingdale East Park is less than two miles away along "The Loop." Nature's Way Loop is approximately four miles around Bloomingdale Golfers Club, and you will see neighbors walking, biking and jogging it throughout the day. Head one direction to the recently updated Bloomingdale East Park with pickleball and tennis courts, or go the other way toward Campo YMCA and the ballfields. It is the kind of neighborhood where you can enjoy the pool at home, take an evening walk around the loop, bike to the park or head out for dinner without going far. It's good to be home.
