It's not just four walls and a roof - it's a little slice of waterfront paradise, and it's waiting for you! This adorable riverside retreat is uniquely positioned on a cul-de-sac road with direct access to both the Weeki Wachee River and the Gulf of Mexico. Experience the best of the Adventure Coast with water-centric activities right at your doorstep, from kayaking along the river to boating adventures on the open water! Built in 1969, it's been painstakingly maintained and thoroughly upgraded (including a reroof in 2014). Inside, you'll discover a thoughtfully designed open floor plan that blends modern comfort with timeless charm. Brand-new engineered hardwood flooring lends an air of sophistication and style. A light and bright galley-style kitchen showcases stone-look laminate counters, complemented by two pass-through windows connecting to the expansive great room. The dining room is modest, yet inviting; it features double glass doors leading to the open patio, a perfect vantage point for taking in the panoramic views with your morning coffee or evening meal. The primary bedroom offers a private ensuite bathroom, while the guest bedroom impresses with a spacious closet spanning an entire wall. And you don't have to worry about anyone tromping through the bedroom to get to the bathroom - there's a convenient half bathroom off the main living area so that your privacy remains intact. Outdoors, the covered side porch extends to a large storage shed with both water and power. Along with the washer and dryer hookup, it has a full-size shower so that you can rinse off from the day's adventures before you head inside to relax; this could also be primo workshop space for the avid crafter or tinkerer! Beautiful brick pavers line the open patio, which provides an idyllic spot for soaking up the Florida sunshine whilst enjoying the water views. The seawall helps protect the property from storm surge, and you can store your small watercraft on your private floating dock when you're not paddling the river. Not only does this neighborhood have no HOA, you're literally a stone's throw away from Roger's Park, a popular swimming destination with a public boat ramp, canoe launch, picnic shelters, playground, and a volleyball court. Other parks, like Pine Island and Historic Bayport Park, are less than 15 minutes away. Explore waterslides, wildlife, and even mermaids at nearby Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. Some of the best locally-owned restaurants, like Silver Dolphin, Brian's Place, and the Hernando Beach Tropical Grille are less than 5 miles south. There are tons of other dining and shopping options on US-19, which also offers easy access to Homosassa, Hudson, Tarpon Springs, and Clearwater. If you're waiting for an engraved invitation to live the waterfront life of your dreams - this is it!
