3 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ Magnolia Shores SubDv. ⋅ 34428 Zip Code
“Quintessential” (representing the most perfect, ideal, or typical example of a quality or class) is the perfect word to describe this Crystal River waterfront pool home. This property is very much a representative of the perfect, or ideal, scenario that one could ask for in a waterfront pool home. It’s not situated high atop stilts, nor does it have a waterway that is restricted by a bridge or extremely shallow water depth. It’s also built on pilings that were driven to bedrock in the ground to resist settling. These 3 items alone make this property highly desirable, but when you couple them with the ideal location and an impressive list of amenities, you should be able to understand and agree with the quintessential reference that I’ve made. Magnolia Shores is a walkable community located just a few blocks from downtown Crystal River. This means easy access to everything the downtown district has to offer, including annual festivals, locally owned restaurants/bars, and shops. Year-round activities happen in this district, and you’d have easy access to them all. Local access to events and happenings is great, but what about those quiet times we all need and crave? In a world full of to-do lists, schedules, and appointments, everyone needs that special place they call sanctuary. The new owner of this home will get just that. Call it what you want: a sanctuary, or a slice of paradise away from it all. This house doesn’t need much to make it feel like home. Downstairs, you will find a generously sized master suite complemented by a large bathroom equipped with a garden tub, dual vanities, and a large walk-in closet. The living room, family room, and kitchen can also be found downstairs, and each of them overlooks the pool deck and waterway. Also downstairs is a den/office that is currently set up as a 4th bedroom. Upstairs, you will find the guest bedrooms, a guest bathroom, and a large open loft. This description and the pictures should tell the story of a large, comfortable home that offers more than enough space for you to entertain or simply spread out. No waterfront home description is complete without talking about the waterside amenities. As comfortable as this home is on the inside, it may be even more comfortable on the outside for water enthusiasts. Along with a pool and pool deck just made for parties/entertaining, you’ll find a covered boat slip with a 13,000-lb lift, a fish-cleaning station, and a jet ski slip/lift. Staying cool and accessing the water were never easier. Choices exist, but some are better than others. Come see why this property is the best choice. No short-term or vacation rentals allowed. This description was written by a human who has experienced the home and can speak intelligently about it. No regurgitated AI slop here.

Set in the heart of Crystal River, this breathtaking residence offers a lifestyle that feels both peaceful and exhilarating. With approximately 2,110 square feet, this beautifully crafted retreat was engineered with remarkable care and creativity.

From the moment you arrive, the setting feels alive. Manatees, dolphins, otters, turtles, fish, and coastal birds are frequent visitors, and manatees have been seen giving birth near the property. The canal is estimated at approximately 12' deep at the stated location, and the floating dock rises naturally with changing water levels. Riprap shoreline protection adds stability, and there is potential to expand the dock with proper verification and permitting. This home is ideal for anyone dreaming of a waterfront lifestyle with excellent ocean access. You can hop on your boat or jet ski and reach the Gulf of Mexico in about 25 minutes, where fishing and scalloping adventures await. Three Sisters Springs is only a 10-minute kayak ride away, and Waterfront Social, walking paths, and golfing are all close by. Inside, the living room welcomes you with soaring ceilings with wood accents, updated luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a loft that adds warmth and architectural character. Two guest rooms are located on the main floor, while the primary suite enjoys privacy on the second level. Multiple balconies and rooftop access create unforgettable outdoor living spaces, including an observation area where you can take in glowing western sunsets, views toward downtown Crystal River, and even occasional rocket-launch visibility. The kitchen features butcher-block countertops, a center island with a convenient prep sink, upgraded cabinetry, and recessed LED lighting. A working wood-burning fireplace adds charm, and the home includes a newer roof, a fortified rooftop observation area, new stairs, and modern see through metal railings. A convenient dumb waiter runs from the ground floor to the primary living level, making it easy to bring groceries and everyday items upstairs. The lower level offers a flexible guest or in-law space with a full bathroom, closet, privacy slider, separate entrance, and kitchenette-style area. Water-resistant flooring adds durability, and two garage bays, each approximately two-car lengths deep, provide 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, and both Tampa and Orlando cruise ports are easily accessible. What truly sets this home apart is the feeling it gives. You can launch your boat and reach the open ocean in minutes, watch wildlife from your backyard, enjoy glowing sunsets each evening, and experience the deep sense of peace that comes from living on the water. This home blends engineering excellence with natural beauty and everyday convenience, offering a rare chance to live fully immersed in the Crystal River lifestyle.
