Crystal River waterfront

Schippers Marine Construction in Crystal River is a great source for a boat lift or dock. We used them last year for a new boat lift. They drilled 4 wooden piers and got us a great deal on an Ace boat lift with a 7,000 pound capacity.

The Schipper family is great — we dealt mainly with Heidi. You can reach them at 352-795-1139. If you are looking for marine construction or a boat lift in Citrus County or Crystal River, Schippers is the best place to start!

The economic downturn isn’t all bad news. The buying opportunities out there now are better than ever. Here’s one great one in Crystal River :

This premium waterfront home is listed at $599k. The current owners bought this home in 2007 in an estate sale. The house was horribly outdated and needed 100% renovation. Back in 2007, the house appraised for $675k in “as-is” condition (before renovations).

Since then, the current owners have spent over $200k on top-of-the-line renovations! The house has been 100% remodeled and has every upgrade you can think of:

• Gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances and quartz countertops
• Luxury master bath with stand-up shower, dual vanity, satin nickel fixtures, and dual exhaust fans.
• NEW: roof, windows, doors, HVAC, irrigation system, boat lift, porcelain tile throughout, shade-resistant sod, and lots more.

This home is located just 5 minutes from downtown Crystal River, and seconds from popular spots like Crackers and Charlies.
