Experience the quintessential Lowcountry lifestyle at 79 Old Well Road, a masterfully crafted sanctuary tucked within the exclusive gated community of Crane Island. This residence is a celebration of the outdoors, anchored by the philosophy that life is simply better on the porch. The expansive front porch serves as the heart of the home--the perfect perch for morning coffee, afternoon reading, and front-row seats to spectacular Florida sunsets over Alice park and the Amelia River. For moments of quiet reflection, the private rear porch and upper balcony also offer serene retreats. Inside, the home is a masterclass in natural light. Massive windows and high-volume ceilings ensure the interiors remain brilliantly bright from dawn to dusk. The open-concept living space showcases breathtaking bespoke features, including stained-wood coffered ceilings, a marble-surround fireplace, and wide-plank wood flooring. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring 6 burner gas stove, furniture -grade cabinetry, a massive quartz island, and an incredibly spacious "hidden" walk-in pantry designed for effortless entertaining. The first floor primary suite serves as a spa-like escape, highlighted by a freestanding soaking tub and designer finishes. Upstairs you will find 2 comfortable Ensuite bedrooms and a generous flex/office space. Just a short stroll from the front door brings you to the River House, where the infinity-edge pool, marsh-side fire pits, and exercise room offer the perfect backdrop for the social connections that define life in the community.

  • Confirm property is not in CDD or ask developer about future bond obligations.
  • Review seller's disclosure for any prior water intrusion, foundation, or structural issues.
