RANCH-STYLE CHARM MEETS MODERN MUSCLE WITH THIS 3 BEDROOM, 2 BATH POOL HOME ON A RARE 0.91 ACRES IN CONNELL HEIGHTS! All the big-ticket items are done...just add your cosmetic touches. Solar panels (2021, owned & paid off), windows (2021), roof (2015), HVAC (2015), generator (2025), electric pool heater (2023), driveway resurfaced & stamped (2021), and pool decking resurfaced with cool decking (2021); so the hard work is behind you. Inside, thoughtful updates give this classic build a fresh, modern feel. The split floor plan puts the primary suite on one side and guest rooms on the other for maximum privacy. The updated kitchen, with beautiful cabinets and countertops, anchors a true open-concept living space. A large Florida room flows to the covered, screened lanai and out to the screened pool area, giving you plenty of room to entertain, grill, or simply unwind while overlooking the spacious backyard. The oversized 2-car garage offers extra rear storage for tools, and two sheds provide even more room for toys and equipment. The 2025 generator means power outages are a non-issue, and with the solar panels owned and paid off, your monthly electric bills stay refreshingly low. All of this sits on three lots, totaling nearly a full acre in charming Connell Heights, convenient to everything Citrus County offers. Located in Flood Zone X (should mean no flood insurance required) and zoned for Rock Crusher Elementary, Crystal River Middle, and Crystal River High. About 1.3 miles from the 589/Suncoast Parkway on-ramp, putting Tampa International Airport roughly an hour away. Grocery, dining, medical, and shopping are all just minutes out. And with Crystal River as the gem of the Nature Coast, spectacular fishing, boating, kayaking, hunting, and hiking/biking trails are right at your doorstep.
