The Islands Condominiums is a private, waterfront community located on 44 manicured acres surrounded by the 30,000-acre Crystal River Preserve. This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom END UNIT includes a PRIVATE BOAT DOCK behind the home. Listing pictures show what the unit looked like before hurricane Idalia came ashore in Aug of 2023. The contractors are in the process of removing the popcorn ceilings throughout, opening up the kitchen by removing a wall and upper cabinets above the sink and also adding a 1/2 wall of glass to the primary shower. This unit will include all NEW windows and interior and exterior doors/sliders. The large back patio is nicely landscaped with pavers and a curved retaining wall. There is also a manual awning to keep your patio shaded from the late afternoon sun. The dock includes water and electric plus a fish cutting station. Recessed lighting and new paint throughout. The tub in the guest bathroom has been removed to make room for an updated tiled shower. The main living space has large 16" tiles laid on a diagonal while the bedrooms contain beautiful, ceramic wood plank tile floors. The association just installed new standing seam metal roofs last year. This is a peaceful, well maintained community with a heated pool, tennis courts and dog park. The condo fees cover everything except your electric, water, wastewater and telephone bill. There is plenty of great fishing from your dock or just minutes from the home in the back waters of the Preserve or Gulf of Mexico. Approximately 5 miles to the fresh water Hunter Springs Beach or the salt water Ft. Island Trail Beach. Several walking trails near by for nature lovers and bird watching. Manatees and Dolphin are frequently seen cruising the canals of Bay Villas. Come check out the waterfront lifestyle in Crystal River. You won't be disappointed.
