Bring the SAILBOAT! Boasting over 2,300 sq. ft. of character-rich living space, this property currently features 3 bedrooms and a den, alongside a bright Florida room and a versatile bonus space that can effortlessly adapt to serve a a 4th bedroom. Living in a historic home is an absolute dream—there is an authentic soul here that new construction simply cannot replicate. Step inside to discover gorgeous heart of pine flooring, classic beadboard, and historical goodies around every corner. Unwind in the inviting den, anchored by rich real wood paneling and a stunning coquina fireplace. Prepare meals in the updated kitchen while taking in peaceful, picture-postcard views of the river. Flow seamlessly into the spacious family room, which overlooks the water and opens to a massive tiered outdoor deck complete with an outdoor masonry fireplace—the ultimate backdrop for starry nights or entertaining a crowd (with plenty of room left over to use as an outdoor dance floor!).The entire upper level serves as a private primary sanctuary, boasting an expansive bedroom, a massive luxury bathroom with dual vanities, dual walk-in closets, and your very own private sauna. For guests or multi-generational flexibility, a convenient downstairs en suite features its own separate private entry and living room. Outside, your private backyard oasis awaits. Meander under the shade of moss-covered grandfather oaks swaying gently in the breeze, refresh under the outdoor shower, or head down to the substantial concrete seawall and floating dock to catch the day's breeze. Access to the 2-car garage and second bedroom is uniquely accommodated via a charming breezeway, all set upon an oversized lot framed by natural beauty and modern peace of mind. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated, including a durable metal roof and updated mechanicals, marrying historic charm with modern convenience. A rare waterfront gem offering a front-row seat to Old Florida at its finest! Yankeetown is a hidden Old Florida paradise where the Lower Withlacoochee River meets the Gulf of America. Founded in 1923 and famously featured in the Elvis Presley film Follow That Dream, the town offers a rich history alongside a landscape of oak-shaded canopy drives, winding tidal creeks, and salt marshes teeming with wildlife. Within a 30-mile radius, residents enjoy easy access to Inglis, the manatees of Crystal River, the Withlacoochee State Trail, the Rainbow River, the island charm of Cedar Key, and the subterranean springs and gardens of Williston. Trading traffic for rustic tranquility, Yankeetown delivers a true sanctuary on the Nature Coast.
