1924 SE 3rd Ct Crystal River, FL 34429

Iconic waterfront mid-century ranch with soaring roof line from the porte-cochere to the peak. Slate stone was just becoming the façade choice in ’59 but its enduring elegance creates the first impression on approach to this home. Once known as the Marble house, it has seen many enhancements over the years including more rocks! Rock gardens greet you at the street defining the 7-car motor court with 2 exits for ease of maneuvering. Rock hardscape is used extensively around the property while keeping green space for play and giving the yard a fully manicured look. Bring the outside in with corner walls of glass intersecting at the vaulted wood ceiling. The single exposed beam supporting that vaulted ceiling in the family room shows just how strong the old can be! The new kitchen cabinets in 2016 blend perfectly with the organic textures of rough-sawn tongue and groove walls and the glass tile backsplash that mimics the ceiling above. The new stainless-steel appliances offer yet another layer of sophistication to this beautiful space as do the sparkling quartz counters. The arched beams in the bedrooms and study support the simplicity of design in the wood ceiling. The owner’s suite includes a private patio, a walk-in closet, and updated bathroom. The ensuite guest room also has an updated bath with ample storage and skylight. The fireplace wall in the study still boasts exposed marble stones embedded in concrete while other walls with marble have been covered but the stones remain! Outside you’ll find the deck becomes the perfect room of the house because you start your day on the lower deck and watch spectacular sunsets on the upper deck above the cut-in boat slip. Celebrate Independence Day fireworks right from the comfort of your own observation deck. Floating dock to tie the boat to and room in the side yard for out of view trailer storage.
