Property Description
Live where others dream of vacationing! This extraordinary property sits directly on the crystal-clear Weeki Wachee River, where you can swim, kayak, and paddle alongside manatees — right in your backyard with a no build area across the River!
The backyard is a true riverfront oasis designed for entertaining. Nearly the entire area is covered in Trex decking and features a private kayak launch and wet deck for easy river access. Mature oak trees, sunshades, and a pergola create plenty of shade, while the fire pit and hot tub alongside the outdoor kitchen make it perfect for relaxing year-round. A she-shed offers additional storage, and the fully fenced yard provides privacy. Best of all — the property includes kayaks, paddleboards, and your very own john boat!
The first level has a screened in porch complete with a TV and ceiling fan and access to the main home through sliders that provide access to the spacious living room with an oversized couch, arcade area, TV, and library. The open-concept kitchen allows you to enjoy river views while cooking and features two-tone cabinetry with gray bottoms and white uppers, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, a 36-inch glass cooktop with stainless hooded vent, built-in oven and microwave, and recessed refrigerator. The dining room boasts cathedral ceilings and a spiral staircase leading to the second level.
On the main level, there are two guest bedrooms connected by a hallway with charming tongue-and-groove ceilings. Each bedroom offers a queen-sized bed, futon, and dressers, and the rear bedroom has a private entrance to the backyard. The bathroom features a walk-in shower with a glass enclosure and a floor-to-ceiling tile accent wall.
The second level is accessible via the spiral staircase or exterior stairs leading to the primary suite. The master ensuite includes a tub/shower combo and a marble-top vanity. French doors with built-in blinds open from the primary bedroom to a 14x23 screened-in porch overlooking the river, complete with games, a couch, gas fire pit, table, and chairs — the ideal spot to relax and take in the view.
Other notable features include a durable metal roof, a custom front door, plantation shutters on the front-facing windows, vinyl siding on the front of the home, Hardy board siding on the back, and plenty of parking. For added peace of mind, the home comes with transferable flood insurance (4,702 dollars per year) and homeowners insurance (2,219 dollars per year).
The home is currently operating as an active vacation rental and future bookings can convey to the new owner.
This is more than a home — it's a lifestyle. Live, play, and unwind on the famous Weeki Wachee River. Homes like this rarely become available... schedule your private showing today!
