Set on a full acre in a quiet, well kept community where every lot is at least an acre, this one offers the kind of room and quiet that's getting harder to find this close to town. The roof is 2025. There's a whole home water treatment system, irrigation in front yard, a barn style shed, and a screened breezeway that connects the home to the garage so you're never caught in the rain hauling groceries or heading out to the car in the morning. Inside, the layout opens up around a stone fireplace and a kitchen built for people who actually cook: granite counters, an island with seating, a wall of cabinets, and a pantry that earns its keep. Vaulted ceilings keep the main living space feeling tall and bright, and wood floors run throughout the home. The primary suite has its own slider to the back, a soaking tub, separate vanities, and a walk in closet that actually fits a wardrobe. Additional bedrooms are spread thoughtfully so guests, kids, or a home office aren't tripping over each other. A large walk in storage closet positions itself at the end of the hall, ensuring you can save the garage for housing cars or your golf cart (Tavares is one of the most golf cart friendly cities in Florida!) Out back, a generous screened porch with three sets of sliders and ceiling fans wraps along the rear of the home. It's the kind of space where mornings start with coffee and evenings stretch long. Beyond it: open lawn, mature oaks, and a fully fenced yard with room to breathe. Down the street, the community clubhouse is a destination in itself, a stone barn with a working water wheel out front, a comfortable lounge upstairs, and a game room with ping pong and more. The kind of shared amenity that actually gets used. Then there's the location, which is the quiet flex. Tavares, America's Seaplane City, is just minutes away, with Wooton Park on Lake Dora, the seaplane base, and a downtown lined with waterfront restaurants where you can watch planes land while you eat. Mount Dora is fifteen minutes the other direction: a historic downtown with no chain restaurants allowed, more than twenty independent spots packed into a three block stretch, antique shops, art galleries, the Lakeside Inn, and Renninger's antique center on the edge of town. Lakeshore Drive connects the two through six miles of oak canopied lake views, a road locals bike on weekends. Combined with Eustis, these three towns form Lake County's "Golden Triangle," the heart of an area that built its identity around water, antiques, and small town downtowns that still feel like small town downtowns. Roof 2025. Acre lot. Quiet street. Lanai you'll live on. Two of the best small towns in Central Florida fifteen minutes apart, and you're between them. An exceptional opportunity exists to expand your estate; the adjacent 1.01 acre vacant lot (Lot 49) situated directly behind the home is also available for purchase (Parcel ID: 03 20 26 0100 000 04900), offering the rare potential for a massive private compound or future custom development.
