This Rio Vista waterfront residence, set along the 400-foot-wide New River waterway, is a full-scale renovation and addition reflecting Zahn Development’s integrated design-build approach, uniting architecture, construction, and interiors in one cohesive vision. Designed in a tropical modern style, the home balances sculptural curves with clean lines and globally sourced materials.

Custom cabinetry and millwork define the interiors, including vanities, kitchen, media units, furnishings, and wall paneling, all designed in-house and crafted locally from real wood. Wide-plank marine-grade hardwood flooring, book-matched marble, fluted plaster walls, and natural limestone add richness, while reglet bases, flush doors, and trimless diffusers reinforce the contemporary aesthetic. Amenities include an elevator, smart-home system, theater, gym, motorized treatments, and Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances.

Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a 60-foot pool and spa oriented to expansive river views and a 100-by-25-foot concrete dock providing premier boating access just minutes from the Intracoastal and Atlantic, completing a seamless expression of refined waterfront living.
