1025 SE 5th Ave., Crystal River, FL 34429

Waterfront living in the heart of Crystal River, where your backyard becomes your gateway to crystal-clear springs, boating, fishing, kayaking, and the laid-back Florida lifestyle people travel here to experience. Step from your backyard onto your private dock, take the boat out for a day on the water, or launch your kayak for an approximately five-minute paddle to the crystal-clear waters of Three Sisters Springs. Set directly on a peaceful canal, this fully renovated 4-bedroom, 3-bath pool home offers the rare combination of direct water access, a private dock, a screened-in pool, and a beautifully updated interior, all just minutes from downtown Crystal River. The backyard is where this home truly comes to life. Spend mornings on the dock, afternoons boating, fishing, or paddling, and evenings unwinding beside the pool. During the cooler months, you may even catch a glimpse of the manatees that frequent Crystal River’s waterways. When you’re ready to venture beyond home, downtown Crystal River, Kings Bay, waterfront parks, restaurants, shops, and the area’s world-famous natural springs are all just minutes away. Inside, the home has been extensively renovated with a spacious layout designed for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home is a chef-inspired kitchen featuring custom wood cabinetry, Level 2 granite countertops, brand-new appliances, and an impressive FORNO professional-style gas range with double ovens, and an oversized stainless-steel ventilation hood. Whether you’re cooking for two or entertaining a house full of guests after a day on the water, this kitchen was made to gather around. The oversized main living space flows into the kitchen and dining areas, while two primary suites with convenient access to the pool area offer exceptional flexibility for multigenerational living, extended guests, or simply having room to spread out. Two additional bedrooms and a third full bathroom provide even more space for family, visitors, or a home office. An indoor laundry room with overhead storage adds everyday functionality without sacrificing living space. Extensive updates include brand-new flooring, appliances, custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, doors, fans, and fresh paint, along with a new deck and resurfaced pool deck. The home also features a newer roof, A/C, and water heater. Outside, you’ll find the private dock with direct water access, screened-in pool, two-car garage, and dedicated boat and RV parking, all with NO HOA. Whether you’re searching for a full-time waterfront home, a seasonal escape, or your own Florida retreat, this property offers something increasingly difficult to replicate: a beautifully renovated home in a location that puts some of Crystal River’s most iconic experiences right outside your door. Here, boating, fishing, paddling, swimming, and the natural beauty of Crystal River aren’t weekend plans. They’re your backyard.
