This updated waterfront stilt (DID NOT FLOOD) home in Crystal River is a rare find, nestled on a spring-fed cove with approximately 329 feet of waterfront. Enjoy natural springs, scenic views of Kings Bay, and effortless access to the Gulf. Exterior features include a covered 10,000 lb boat lift and dock, a pool, fenced yard, and gravel pad for boat trailer storage.

Designed with entertaining in mind, the expansive open kitchen is a dream for home chefs, featuring a 9-foot maple butcher block island and a 48* professional Bertazzoni range. A formal dining room with fireplace and a large Brazilian Ipe wood deck off the breakfast area extend the living and dining spaces outdoors. Rich heart pine floors add warmth and character throughout the home, while the sunroom-framed with floor-to-ceiling windows-fills the interior with light and captures tranquil water views. The primary suite has been beautifully renovated to include an oversized shower, soaking tub, and an attached laundry for ultimate convenience. The upper level includes an additional bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a half-bath, sunroom, office, dining room, kitchen, and breakfast area.
