Description of Property
One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Welcome to 278 Crystal River Dr., nestled in the highly desirable Park Forest 55+ gated community in Englewood! This beautifully maintained 3BR/2BA home features an open, inviting floor plan with vaulted ceilings, elegant crown molding, a den, and a spacious Florida room that offers serene pond views.

The large kitchen includes ample cabinetry, a cozy breakfast nook/dinette, and an adjoining dining area, ideal for gatherings. Enjoy peace of mind with a portable Duromax generator (home is wired for it, but rarely needed thanks to the shared hospital grid), hurricane-resistant windows and shutters, and low-maintenance living with lawn care, roof cleaning, and exterior painting all covered by the HOA. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and private en-suite bath. Additional highlights include an attached 2-car garage with storage and a wash sink, plus golf cart-friendly streets for easy community access. Park Forest residents enjoy resort-style amenities: a heated pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse full of activities, and RV/boat storage.
