One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Experience true waterfront living in this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3-bath elevated home with remote-opener gated access, perfectly positioned near world-renowned Three Sisters Springs. Set in the heart of Crystal River, this beautifully crafted 2,110-square-foot retreat blends peaceful living with exhilarating natural surroundings.… Read More Engineered with remarkable care by a former NASA engineer, the home is built on twelve massive concrete pilings with substantial steel crossbeams, creating a sense of strength and innovation that complements its stunning waterfront setting. Manatees, dolphins, otters, turtles, fish, and coastal birds are frequent visitors, and manatees have even been seen giving birth near the property. The canal is estimated at approximately 12 feet deep, and the floating dock rises naturally with changing water levels. Riprap shoreline protection adds stability, with potential to expand the dock pending verification and permitting. This home is ideal for anyone dreaming of a waterfront lifestyle with excellent ocean access. Reach the Gulf of Mexico in about 25 minutes for fishing and scalloping, kayak to Three Sisters Springs in roughly 10 minutes, and enjoy nearby Waterfront Social, walking paths, and golfing. Inside, soaring ceilings with wood accents, updated luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a loft create warmth and architectural interest. Two guest rooms sit on the main floor, while the private primary suite occupies the second level. Multiple balconies and rooftop access offer unforgettable outdoor living, including an observation area with glowing western sunsets, views toward downtown Crystal River, and occasional rocket-launch visibility. The kitchen features butcher-block countertops, a center island with prep sink, upgraded cabinetry, and recessed LED lighting. A working wood-burning fireplace adds charm, and the home includes a newer roof, fortified rooftop observation area, new stairs, and modern see-through metal railings. A convenient dumb waiter runs from the ground floor to the main living level. The lower level provides a flexible guest or in-law suite with a full bath, closet, privacy slider, separate entrance, and kitchenette-style area. Water-resistant flooring adds durability, and two garage bays, each approximately two-car lengths deep, offer ample space for vehicles, kayaks, and recreational equipment. Convenience enhances the lifestyle with nearby shopping, dining, waterfront experiences, and a short golf-cart ride to Downtown Crystal River. Tampa International Airport is about one hour away, with easy access to both Tampa and Orlando cruise ports. This home blends engineering excellence with natural beauty and everyday convenience, offering a rare chance to live fully immersed in the Crystal River waterfront lifestyle. Read Less
