Virtually Staged. Imagine a backyard where open green space stretches between the pool and canal, afternoons drift between swimming and relaxing by the water, and the next boating adventure is just beyond your own dock. At this distinctive Tavares property, the waterfront lifestyle extends in two directions, with approximately 127 feet of canal frontage behind the home and additional canal frontage across the street. With no HOA, a beautifully landscaped 1.04-acre setting, and inviting spaces for outdoor enjoyment, this is a place to make Florida living your own. The backyard is a highlight, with a swimming pool, screened lanai, spa, and paver patio with firepit creating inviting spaces to relax, entertain, or enjoy a quiet evening outdoors. Mature palms, tropical foliage, and fruit trees add color and character to the grounds, while the expanse of green lawn between the pool and canal creates an appealing backdrop for enjoying the waterfront. From the kitchen and breakfast nook, views stretch across the pool toward the water, making even everyday moments feel connected to the outdoors. For those who love life on the water, the private dock and electric boat lift put boating within easy reach. Follow the canal toward Lake Beauclair and the Harris Chain of Lakes, where a day on the water might mean fishing, watersports, exploring scenic shorelines, or simply enjoying the journey. Nearby, a small, island-centered waterway creates a picturesque setting for birdwatching and appreciating the natural beauty of the area. Inside, the home's layout balances formal entertaining with comfortable everyday living. The formal living room features a wood-burning fireplace, while the formal dining room enjoys views of the pool and canal, creating a lovely setting for hosting family and friends. The family room takes a more relaxed approach, with sliding glass doors opening to the screened lanai for easy indoor-outdoor entertaining. Many recent updates give the home a fresh, welcoming look. The primary bedroom and a second bedroom enjoy beautiful views across the backyard and canal. The remaining two bedrooms, including one currently staged as an office, overlook the front yard and canal across the street. The location adds even more to enjoy, with Tavares and Mount Dora both nearby. Explore Mount Dora's year-round festivals, charming downtown shops, and local dining, or head to Tavares for its waterfront setting, restaurants, and community events. Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Deer Island Golf Club, where a round of golf can be followed by a meal or drinks at the club's restaurant and bar. Back at home, the pool, spa, firepit, and waterfront setting make it easy to unwind and enjoy the Florida lifestyle. Come experience the setting and possibilities for yourself.
