Spectacular 3/2 "stilt elevated" waterfront home with 1728 sq ft of high and dry upper floor living area. This beautiful house and property is located on a quiet cul de sac with over 150 feet of deep freshwater canal/creek frontage on two sides of the lot. The upper floor features high 9' plus ceilings, large water front view windows, a spacious living room with fireplace, a dining area and open kitchen, and wood and tile floors throughout the home. This house is "move in ready," and furnishings are optional. Downstairs boasts a fully enclosed extra large (nearly 800 sq feet) heated and air conditioned garage that may be used for vehicle parking, with enough extra space for 'toy" storage, extra entertainment space, or a workshop. A separate finished and enclosed space is included off the garage. There is a beautiful heated saltwater pool with a large screen enclosed lanai for entertaining guests or simply for owner enjoyment. The yard and grounds of this home are must see with beautiful palm trees, a gorgeous lawn, and bloom filled plants and shrubbery. A newly installed irrigation system assures easy continued lawn and landscape maintenance and beauty. The stone firepit with rock bedded and landscaped sitting area offers amazing views of the water and the state park wildlife area across the canal. For the river and water lovers, there is direct and easy access to the world famous Crystal River springs and the Gulf via a short boat ride or kayak paddle. The large fixed dock (12' x 40 ft) is outfitted with 2 boat lifts one suitable for a mid size boat (6000 lbs) and another for jet skis or other small PWC (3000 lbs) and a kayak rack. This home is located adjacent to several state park wildlife areas with ample opportunities for manatee, bird, and wildlife viewing as well as access to world class near shore and offshore fishing. Miles of biking and hiking trails are also located nearby on adjacent park lands. This property is also within biking distance to downtown Crystal River with its beautiful historic district, quaint shopping area, and waterfront restaurants and taverns. This is a great "retirement," vacation, or permanent home suitable for outdoor enthusiasts and those seeking all the wonderful amenities that Florida coastal living offers. Located in the highly desirable Indian Woods development, the house is just outside the city limits; therefore, it may be used as a short term or long term vacation rental by the owner for his/her guests. The elevated high and dry living area offers protection from flooding in the event of a hurricane surge. Current flood insurance is "assumable" and boasts a reasonable and very affordable premium.
