Welcome to River Crest, a guard-gated community nestled alongside the Wekiva River in Seminole County. Residents enjoy a private nature trail that meanders through the forest, past the community watercraft storage racks, to the private dock designed for fishing, sightseeing, and everything imaginable at the river's edge. Nature lovers enjoy regular deer sightings and bird watching from inside this tranquil community. This Mediterranean-style villa boasts a tile roof, new HVACs, new water heater, and is ideally positioned with a south-facing pool overlooking the vast forest beyond with no rear neighbors. The impeccable landscaping lures visitors down the long driveway and walkway to the front door. Upon entering, open spaces create an inviting atmosphere of casual elegance. Views of the pool and landscape are evident upon arrival through large sliding glass doors. The living room is the perfect place for pleasant conversations and the large, renovated kitchen is ideal for entertaining thanks to its vast, center cooking island with ample seating, while more windows and glass doors offer views of the pool and lanai. A cozy fireplace is a gratifying addition to the family room and a powder bath is conveniently located nearby. The primary bedroom is generously sized, features enticing views of the pool, and enjoys a luxurious bath, recently renovated with a free-standing soaking tub, walk-in glass shower and floating double vanity. An ideal split bedroom layout positions the remaining three bedrooms on the opposite side of the home, each amply sized and the largest enjoying direct access to the lanai and pool. The pool enjoys recent renovations and a spillover spa which provides an elegant ambiance. The large, covered lanai offers a large amount of counter space and cabinets making for an ideal location for a future summer kitchen.
