Located on the coveted spring-fed headwaters of Crystal River within Kings Bay, home to more than 70 natural springs and world-famous manatee habitat — this waterfront residence sits in 72-degree, crystal-clear waters ideal for year-round boating, diving, paddle sports, and direct Gulf of America access. Offering 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3,709 square feet of enclosed living space, this home has endured decades of coastal weather with NO FLOODING and was built for resilience. Constructed to withstand severe conditions, in 2024 this home was upgraded with 200-mph impact-rated windows and doors, and it delivers both presence and protection. A commanding double-door entry opens into a dramatic interior defined by cathedral ceilings, polished marble and tile flooring, and a 30-foot family room showcasing expansive frame panoramic views of the cove waters frequented by dolphins and manatees throughout the year. The master bedroom overlooks the water and has a luxurious bathroom featuring a wet room with a freestanding tub and deluxe shower head with shower jets designed for a spa-like experience. Additional upgrades include high end Café kitchen appliances, 2 stainless steel cold flow AC units in 2010 and 2012, a gas water heater, generator hookup, RV hookup and the concrete tile roof that has been sealed and recoated to give it many years left of duration. Other features include a full wet bar, bay views and an exterior hardscape that will allow you to escape on your own private sand turfed yard with gazebo, 112 foot of sea wall, private floating dock and easy access to local springs and the gulf. Minutes from the vibrant Downtown Crystal River Entertainment District, this home offers the rare ability to enjoy protected waterfront living while remaining close to waterfront dining, live music, seasonal festivals, and marina access. Whether arriving by boat, golf cart or short walk, the energy of downtown is just moments away blending private cove tranquility with coastal town convenience. This is not just another address, this is a destination you could call your coastal paradise in Florida's Nature coast!
