About This Home
Welcome to the heart of Crystal River — where “Old Florida” charm meets exciting new energy! As downtown Crystal River continues its revitalization, this beautifully updated 1945 cottage offers the perfect chance to own a piece of history while enjoying modern comfort and convenience.
This 3 bedroom, 1 bath home is full of personality and comes partially furnished, making it easy to move right in and start enjoying the laid-back Nature Coast lifestyle. From the moment you arrive, you’ll appreciate the blend of character and thoughtful upgrades that preserve the home’s vintage charm while giving you peace of mind for years to come.
Inside, the kitchen shines with quartz countertops, all new stainless steel appliances, upgraded cabinetry, and modern finishes that flow seamlessly into the home’s warm, welcoming spaces. Luxury vinyl plank flooring, new subfloors, upgraded bathroom finishes, and an abundance of storage throughout the home make everyday living both stylish and practical. Major improvements include a new roof in 2019, new windows in 2018, updated electrical panel, A/C, and water heater — plus closed-cell insulation beneath the home and extending up the walls helps keep electric costs surprisingly low at around $100/month.
Outside, the vinyl fenced side yard with double gate access offers room for pets, toys, or entertaining, while the large storage shed gives you even more flexibility. There’s even a 30-amp RV receptacle at the carport — perfect for visitors, RV owners, or future adventure plans.
Location is everything, and this home places you within walking distance to Crystal River Primary and Middle School while also being just minutes from the shops, restaurants, festivals, and waterfront charm of downtown Crystal River. Spend your weekends exploring the springs, kayaking through scenic waterways, fishing both inshore and offshore, paddleboarding at sunset, or swimming alongside the famous manatees that make Crystal River so special.
Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or potential investment opportunity, this home captures the spirit of classic Florida living with the updates today’s buyers want.
