Welcome to this rare opportunity to own this ICONIC RIVERFRONT PARADISE RETREAT and a GREAT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY for a VRBO OR Airbnb, the home has endless possibilities. This gem offers a nostalgic journey into old Florida that invites you to experience the best of outdoor living. This residence was formerly known as "Pam's Mermaid House." It is located on the Main & Wide Part of the Weeki Wachee River, a 7.5 mile long waterway of spring-fed beauty that leads out into the Gulf and the home has NEVER BEEN FLOODED! Those navigating the waterways have been awed by the colorful paintings of sea creatures that wrap around the magnificent large 145'+ seawall. The home itself is ablaze with colors of yellow and turquoise set off by the beautiful, striped awnings, concrete walkways around the entire home & it is surrounded by a beautiful mature landscape, trees & bushes. This meticulously maintained custom home offers the perfect blend of charm with an abundance of many details throughout and functionality. Indulge in the enchantment of this vacation-like waterfront residence that offers breathtaking views of the crystal-clear waters of the Main River, stunning scenery and surrounding preserve. The owner previously rented out 1/2 of the house while living in the other 1/2 of the home. Entering the property through the gate, you will be greeted by the beautiful turquoise & yellow driveway and tastefully landscaped front yard. The entrance foyer has a hardwood floor & 3 huge etched glass windows of a Mermaid, Captain and Manatee. This is a move-in ready property that features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, central air conditioned 2 car garage, a large great room, dining room, living room with a wood burning fireplace, large open-air screened Florida room, sitting area, & indoor laundry room. Tile floors throughout the home except for carpet on the stairway & primary bedroom. Upon entering off the main foyer, you'll be captivated by the soaring vaulted ceiling, an open-concept layout & an abundance of natural light. Your main area features the kitchen, dining room, living room with a step down into the great room, and a FULL PANORAMIC VIEW of the river, with massive glass doors and windows throughout. The 2nd story consists of the private oasis of the primary bedroom and ensuite bathroom with a jetted spa tub. From the bedroom you can use the sliding glass doors to enter outside on to the large private rooftop and enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning and view the stunning crystal-clear waters while soaking in the beauty & tranquility of waterfront living & you'll have no neighbors across the river except for the wildlife preserve! City water is not used for the irrigation system, it draws from the river. Minutes from beaches, shops, and restaurants, this home is in a PRIME LOCATION. Launch your kayaks, go swimming or fish right in your backyard and just enjoy all the Weeki Wachee Spring has for you from manatees to dolphins for truly a unique experience. You have so many choices of fun & exciting things to enjoy such as the Weeki Wachee State Park with the live Mermaid shows that have been a roadside attraction since the 1940's where visitors have marveled at live performances in an underwater theater & amusement rides, Buccaneer Bay Water Park & Pine Island on the Gulf of America. This home is fully fenced so bring your furry friends. Call today to make this paradise a reality before it's gone! LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
