Overview

Rare riverfront opportunity in the heart of downtown New Port Richey. Built in 1928 and situated on just under half an acre along the Pithlachascotee, or “Cotee,” River, this two-story home offers over 1,800 square feet of living area and a setting that is difficult to duplicate. Located just off Main Street and across the river from Sims Park, the property combines downtown convenience, river frontage, and historic character in one unique package. Over the years, the home has been divided into three separate living spaces. The front portion offers a charming one-bedroom, one-bath unit of just under 700 square feet, including a dining room. The rear portion includes a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath layout with a large kitchen/dining area and living room. Upstairs is an efficiency-style space of about 200 square feet with a full bath and potential access from either inside or outside the home and could be a great in-law suite. This property is not a finished showpiece—it is an opportunity. The front unit is in nice condition, the rear unit is ready for some updating, and the second floor will require complete renovation. For the right buyer, however, the possibilities are significant. Continue with a multi-space layout, explore income-producing potential, or bring the home back together as a single riverfront residence with an early New Port Richey period feel. The lot includes approximately 90 feet of river frontage with a concrete seawall, offering a natural place to explore the possibility of adding a dock and creating a place to tie up your boat, subject to permitting and approval. Whether your vision is restoration, investment, or a distinctive downtown riverfront home, this property offers the kind of setting, history, and potential that rarely comes available.
