Crystal River, FL 34429

For as long as mankind has walked on the planet, they have sought safe harbor from peril. Since 1983 this home has stood strong through decades of storms and high tides and rises above them all having never flooded. Overbuilt from foundation to roof and newly installed 200-mph impact resistant windows and an amazing double door entry this home has been built for the ages. With over 240 days of sunshine per year, Crystal River has always been Central Florida’s passage to the Gulf especially during scalloping season. But when Southern Living and HGTV agree that we are the most charming small town that draws global visitors - it’s worth taking notice. And when you lay eyes on the open water view from the backyard beach with real beach sand, you will know you have found your safe harbor. Welcome friends and family with a cool refreshment from the wet bar the minute they arrive and hope they don’t drop it the next minute when they see the amazing view through the plate glass windows. Of course, you will have that privilege every day waking up to the same amazing view of the bay. Indulge yourself in the just finished bath remodel with a wet room featuring a soaking tub, dual shower stations boasting rain heads, handheld sprays plus 12 body sprays! Turn it all on at once and be blown away by the power that these ¾ inch pipes supply. The kitchen was way ahead of its time, too, with push to open drawers and doors and the original built-in food processor comes complete with all attachments, too! Café six-burner gas cooktop with electric oven, refrigerator and dishwasher are all top of the line! An entertainers dream of casual grandeur! Soak up the sun while relaxing on your private beach, then cool off in the fresh waters of Hunter’s Spring where you can swim and frolic among the manatee like no other place on earth! If the World is your oyster, then this home must be your pearl.
