Property Description

ONE YEAR HOME WARRANTY PROVIDED BY SELLER! Welcome home to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath property located on a desirable corner lot in the heart of Tavares, the Seaplane City and county seat of Lake County. With no HOA, this home offers freedom and flexibility, making it ideal as a first-time family home or a fantastic rental opportunity. Enjoy a private, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for outdoor recreation or a cozy firepit, plus a very large covered and screened-in back deck perfect for entertaining or relaxing year-round. French doors open to the porch from both the kitchen and the primary bedroom, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Inside, you’ll find renovated bathrooms, new flooring, new windows, and a new refrigerator, along with peace of mind knowing the roof was replaced in November 2025 and the HVAC system is only two years old. The location is unbeatable—surrounded by beautiful lakes for fishing and recreation, just a 10-minute walk to downtown Tavares, the famous seaplane port, and numerous restaurants. Walk to both elementary and high schools, enjoy close proximity to public transportation, and appreciate being just one hour from either coast, one hour from Orlando International Airport, and an hour from Orlando attractions. This home truly combines comfort, convenience, and lifestyle in one exceptional package. Schedule your private showing today!
