The condo has been completely updated, featuring a brand-new kitchen and baths, stainless steel appliances, new AC and water heater, PGT impact sliders, and a standing-seam metal roof installed in 2021. The open living space showcases large 16" tile laid on the diagonal, while the bedrooms are finished with elegant ceramic wood-plank tile. Fresh paint and recessed lighting complete the clean, coastal feel throughout. Step outside to the spacious paver patio with a curved retaining wall, perfect for relaxing or entertaining by the water. Your private dock includes water, electric, and a fish-cleaning station, offering immediate access to fishing, kayaking, and boating. From your backyard, you're just minutes to the backwaters of the Preserve or the open Gulf. This peaceful, well-maintained community features a heated pool, tennis courts, and dog park, and condo fees cover everything except electric, water, wastewater, and telephone. Nature lovers will appreciate nearby walking trails, bird watching, and frequent sightings of manatees and dolphins cruising the canals of Bay Villas. Located approximately 5 miles from Hunter Springs Beach (freshwater) and Fort Island Trail Beach (saltwater), this home delivers the very best of the Crystal River waterfront lifestyle. Come experience it for yourself - you won't be disappointed.
