If you've been dreaming of a waterfront retreat with classic “Old Florida” charm, this is the one for you. Just 100 yards from the Withlacoochee River—which flows directly into the Gulf of Mexico—this spacious home offers over 2,400 square feet of living area and an inviting layout perfect for family, guests, or an in-law suite. Upstairs features its own living room, full bath, half bath, two bedrooms, and a private porch with tranquil water views. Downstairs, you'll find a welcoming living room, kitchen, dining area, screened porch, and laundry room with a laundry chute from upstairs. A stunning wood spiral staircase serves as the centerpiece of the main living area. The home has been thoughtfully updated: a new roof (2025), new AC and water heater (2024), new kitchen appliances, washer/dryer, and a whole-house generator with a 500-gallon propane tank. A brand-new floating dock lets you tie up your boat with ease. Flood insurance is less than $3,000 annually. Set in a quiet neighborhood, this property offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle. Picture yourself enjoying morning coffee on the back porch as dolphins and manatees glide by and birds sing overhead. Yet you're only minutes from Publix, Target, Walmart, and popular waterfront restaurants. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby Withlacoochee Forest's scenic trails for hiking, horseback riding, and off-road adventures. Commuters will appreciate the easy access to the Suncoast Parkway just a few miles away. Don't miss your chance to enjoy the best of Florida living in Meadowcrest—schedule your private showing today!
