Today, the same location is just minutes from vibrant restaurants, top-rated schools, and world-class medical facilities, offering the perfect blend of country living and city convenience. Built in 1910 by master carpenter James L. Hackney as his personal residence, the home was crafted to stand the test of time-no shortcuts taken. When it changed hands in 1952, its new owner, an employee of GE, infused it with the latest modern conveniences of the era. Inside, you'll find five bedrooms, including the primary suite on the main floor, a spacious great room, and a large Florida sunroom just off the kitchen-perfect for gathering with family and friends. Step outside to explore the naturally manicured grounds, bursting with tropical flowers, and take a peaceful stroll around the backyard pond, where Mother Nature displays her most beautiful, untouched side. Opportunities like this are rare. Here's your chance to own not just a home, but a remarkable piece of Riverview's history. Conveniently located north of the Alafia River, this property is just 10 minutes from a boat ramp on the river and offers easy access to the Crosstown Expressway and I-75 entrance ramp. Situated just past Bloomingdale on US-301, you'll enjoy both peaceful country living and quick connectivity to everything Riverview and the surrounding area have to offer.
