Crescent City, Florida 32112
Nestled in the peaceful, tree-lined setting of Crescent City, Florida, 213 E Char Lane is a magnificent stilt home that delivers breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Crescent without the burden of waterfront taxes. This impressive 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence sits on a spacious 0.39-acre lot at the end of a quiet dead-end street, offering the perfect blend of elevated living, natural beauty, and effortless access to one of Putnam County’s most stunning lakes.
Step inside the open great-room concept and you’re immediately surrounded by light and views. Vaulted ceilings, an abundance of windows, and a thoughtfully designed layout frame awe-inspiring sunrises and sparkling lake vistas from almost every room. The eat-in kitchen features a breakfast bar and all the essentials for comfortable living, while the primary bathroom offers a convenient shower and the split-bedroom plan ensures privacy for family or guests. With vinyl, tile, and carpet flooring plus ceiling fans throughout, the 1,375-square-foot home feels bright, airy, and move-in ready.
Outside is pure paradise. The expansive deck comes complete with a hot tub (included with the sale) — the ideal spot for relaxing after a day on the water while soaking in those endless lake views. Best of all, the home is adjacent to the community boat ramp and dock on Lake Crescent, giving you instant access to boating, fishing, and the connected waterways of Dunns Creek and the legendary St. Johns River all the way to the Atlantic Ocean. This is waterfront living at its smartest: stunning lakefront views and recreation without the premium price tag.
Practical luxury continues below the stilt home with a massive 4-car garage perfect for a workshop, honey-do projects, or extra storage. A detached RV garage (approximately 37' x 11.10') with power adds even more convenience for those who love weekend adventures. The cleared lot with mature trees provides privacy and shade, while the metal roof and frame construction mean low-maintenance living so you can focus on enjoying the outdoors. Low annual HOA dues of just $25 keep things simple and affordable.

FAQ
213 E Char Lane, Crescent City, Florida 32112
Is this property in a flood zone?
Yes, it is in an AE flood zone, which is typical for properties near Crescent Lake. However, because this is a stilt home, the living area is well elevated above flood levels. I provide the most recent elevation certificate and can connect you with insurance specialists who often save buyers significantly on waterfront policies.
Why does this home have no waterfront taxes?
This stilt home sits just outside the direct waterfront tax district while still offering panoramic Crescent Lake views and immediate access to the community boat ramp and dock. This is a rare and valuable advantage that many buyers love.
What size boat can I keep at the community dock?
The community boat ramp and dock on Crescent Lake are right next door. Most owners keep boats up to 24–26 feet here. The lake connects directly to Dunns Creek and the St. Johns River, so you can easily reach the main river for bigger adventures.
Is the home move-in ready?
Yes, the home is in very good condition and move-in ready. It features vaulted ceilings, an open great-room concept, and a large deck with an included hot tub already in place.
What about the garages and storage?
You get a massive 4-car garage directly under the stilt home plus a detached RV garage (approx. 37' x 11.10') with power — perfect for boats, cars, workshop space, or extra storage.
Can I have pets here?
Absolutely! The 0.39-acre lot is cleared with mature trees and offers plenty of room for dogs to roam safely. Lil’ Dottie (my two-year-old Maltese sidekick and the official Top Dog Realtor of Putnam County) already gave the backyard her highest paw of approval.
How private is the property?
Very private. It sits at the end of a quiet dead-end street with mature trees providing natural screening while still delivering beautiful lake views from the deck and living areas.
