    What's special

    Discover waterfront living at its finest in this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home nestled on a tranquil canal in the sought-after boating community of Tavares. With direct access to the Harris Chain of Lakes, this property is a true gem for nature lovers, anglers, and anyone seeking the ultimate Florida lifestyle as a primary home, a secondary home, or short term rental investment property - ALL furniture and furnishings are INCLUDED! Every inch of this home has been thoughtfully upgraded, offering a seamless blend of modern finishes and classic charm. The semi-open-concept layout features brand-new luxury flooring, and a bright, airy living space perfect for entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper, complete with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, appliances, and window overlooking the canal and your large back yard. Each bedroom flows effortlessly with this floor plan, while the new floors create aesthetic symmetry and congruence as the pattern and design consistently continues throughout the home. Each bathroom is thoughtfully upgraded and showcases a style that feels warm, bright, and like home. Step outside to your private backyard oasis, where you can relax on the patio, enjoy water views off your deck, or launch your boat straight from your backyard dock (with a boat lift) into the scenic waterways of the Harris Chain. The canal connects to multiple lakes within minutes including Harris, Eustis, and Dora—ideal for boating enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re heading out for a sunset cruise or a weekend fishing adventure, or enjoy direct access to dockside dining at various restaurants - including: the popular Hurricane Dockside Grill, Ski Beach, and Kalua Beach Bar to name just a few - the possibilities are endless. Ample storage space is included with two outdoor storage buildings. Parking space is abundant with two driveways, a garage, and a covered car port on the second driveway. Power is never an issue with the entire-home generator.. Lastly, turn-key, canal-front beauty is located just minutes from downtown Tavares, known as “America’s Seaplane City,” and offers easy access to shopping, dining, and waterfront parks. The last positive thing we'll say, is this wonderful property is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath on appraiser site, and the den has the ability to be converted BACK to a bedroom if buyer desires to do so. Plethora of possibilities! This home really does have it all ready for you. Don’t miss your chance to own a slice of waterfront paradise—schedule your private showing today! **If a qualified buyer uses seller’s preferred lender, a credit to a free appraisal to can be issued and .5 to discount points to closing costs, prepaid, or rate-buy downs.
