“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.
