1203 SE Kings Bay Drive Crystal River, FL 34429

Welcome to your private waterfront oasis just five houses from the world-famous Three Sisters Springs, where manatees gather from all over Florida. During winter, hundreds of manatees can be seen gliding gracefully through the canals. This beautifully updated 2BR/2BA retreat offers a rare natural shoreline where manatees often swim right up to feed—sometimes with a mama and calf just steps away. Step into the water from your backyard and swim with the manatees or launch your kayaks, with a convenient outdoor shower to wash off afterward

Inside, coastal charm meets modern luxury with terrazzo floors, faux wood blinds and cool colors throughout. Step into an oversized living room that is perfect for entertaining. The kitchen and living room overlook an expansive great room with panoramic waterway views. This chefs kitchen features solid wood soft-close cabinetry with glass accents, slide-out shelving, and granite counters. There is a custom coffee bar, pantry and a 13-ft bar with pop-up outlets and elegant lighting—ideal for holidays and hosting friends and family.

The expansive primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size set and flows into a spa-like ensuite with an oversized Zen-like shower with frameless glass and two separately controlled showerheads. Complete with granite double vanities, lighted anti-fog mirrors, and a Bluetooth exhaust fan with music. The suite also includes two closets, one being an oversized walk-in. The bathroom features a door with interior blinds that opens directly to a beautiful oasis and waterway view. The spacious guest bedroom offers plenty of room, while the guest bathroom features custom cabinets, granite countertops, and a backlit anti-fog mirror. Unwind with a good book and bath bomb in the deep soaking tub

Updates include a 2019 roof, new stainless appliances, washer/dryer, two new water heaters, upgraded electrical, and new mini-split AC units with individual room controls. The garage fits two cars deep and two wide with an air-conditioned bonus area, plus a two-car carport adorned with massive decorative staghorn ferns. Ideal for seasonal or full-time vacation living, the home can be offered furnished and ready to enjoy

You can savor morning coffee on the back patio surrounded by herons, hawks, blue jays, eagles, and manatees or enjoy the breathtaking sunsets from your screened-in front patio and finish off Moonlighting in your hot tub. Walk to downtown for waterfront dining, live music, and boutique shopping—or take a short drive to beaches and boating. This home is a true waterfront getaway, offering the ultimate Crystal River lifestyle with manatees, wildlife, and endless water adventures.
