Welcome to 2551 SW Riviera; a lovingly maintained one-owner home in the desirable River Forest community. Originally built as a customized 4-bedroom version of the popular Heron model with a flexible floor plan, vaulted ceilings, and an open light-filled design that feels far larger than its square footage. The current owner has invested extensively in the home's most important systems, giving the next owner peace of mind for years to come. MAJOR UPDATES include a METAL ROOF, HVAC (2020), HOT WATER HEATER (2026), fresh interior and exterior paint, beautifully updated bathrooms, and a RENOVATED KITCHEN featuring new countertops, backsplash, ALL NEW SS APPLIANCES, and a functional butcher block island. All 4 bedrooms have exceptional privacy, with the primary suite tucked away at the rear of the home and additional bedrooms positioned separately for guests, family members, or a home office. Tray ceilings, sliding glass doors to the lanai, abundant natural light, updated fixtures, ceiling fans, and generous kitchen storage add character and comfort throughout. Step outside to enjoy the fenced backyard and lanai, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. River Forest is one of the Treasure Coast's hidden gems, offering residents a clubhouse, community pool, fitness center, scenic lake, boat and RV storage (limitations & for lease w/added cost). Situated on the St. Lucie Canal with access to the Stuart Inlet and Atlantic Ocean, the community delivers a lifestyle that is increasingly difficult to find.

St. Lucie Falls, located between the St. Lucie River and I-95, is a waterfront and residential Palm City neighborhood with canal-lined streets and boat-ready docks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Palm City Bridge area at SW Martin Hwy and SW Palm City Rd, where marinas, bait-and-tackle counters, and riverfront patios set a salt-air pace. Architecture leans toward low-slung Florida ranch homes and newer coastal builds with screened lanais. Water views and mangrove edges shape daily routines, from paddle launches to sunset walks. Community touchstones include Twisted Tuna, Sailfish Splash Waterpark, and the Lyric Theatre in nearby Stuart.
