Property Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Beneath a canopy of mature trees and gently swaying Spanish moss sits a rare piece of Old Florida history—a beautifully preserved 1925 Folk Victorian Florida Cracker farmhouse tucked into the heart of historic Crystal River. Resting on 0.52 acres, this storied home captures the charm of a time when front porches were gathering places, neighbors walked beneath shady oaks, and the pace of life followed the rhythms of the river. The home's deep two-story wraparound porch, a signature of classic Florida Cracker architecture, was thoughtfully designed long before air conditioning existed—providing shade and catching the cooling breezes of summer. Known for years as “The Rose of Crystal River,” this special home once served as the backdrop for many weddings and celebrations, weaving its story into the fabric of the community. Inside, much of that history remains beautifully intact. Original wood floors run through much of the home, rich with character and warmth that only time can create. The residence features four spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and five fireplaces, offering the kind of architectural details rarely found in modern construction. The home was thoughtfully restored in 1995, preserving its historic charm while strengthening its future, and an inground pool was added in 2006 for relaxing on warm Florida afternoons. A new HVAC system installed in 2022 provides modern comfort while honoring the home's heritage. Just off the kitchen, a screen room invites quiet mornings with coffee, an artist's retreat, or evenings listening to the sounds of nature. Located in one of Crystal River's historic neighborhoods with tree-lined streets, the home is within walking distance of Crystal River Primary School, downtown shops, and local restaurants. This is a place where neighbors still wave from their porches and the beauty of Florida's natural landscape remains part of daily life. Crystal River is proudly known as the Home of the Manatees, and the surrounding waters are among the most extraordinary in Florida. Spend your days kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, or swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Hunter Springs and Three Sisters Springs. Miles of walking trails wind through town, and a new riverwalk is coming soon, adding even more ways to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle. In a state where so much has changed, Crystal River remains one of the few places where Old Florida still thrives—a place where nature, history, and community still shape the landscape. This beloved home has been lovingly cared for through the decades, and it now awaits its next steward—someone who appreciates the beauty of historic homes and isn't afraid to embrace the adventure of caring for a true Florida treasure. If you've been searching for a home with soul, history, and a deep connection to the land and waters of Old Florida, this hidden gem may be calling you home. Home had 4" of water in it after hurricane Helene in 2024. VirtuallyStaged.
