WELL-MAINTAINED 2 BEDROOM WATERFONT HOME WITH WORKSHOP, 20X26 CARPORT, NEW SEPTIC SYSTEM, AND A BOAT DOCK WITH ELECTRIC LIFT ON 150 FT OF DEAD RIVER FRONTAGE WITH CHAIN OF LAKES ACCESS. Welcome home to this sleepy, tranquil Tavares waterfront community graced with majestic Cypress, Oaks, and Palms, offering that sought-after Old Florida feeling. What a perfect opportunity for you to invest in your very own slice of tropical paradise. This sweet little gem of a home is waiting for you to put your stamp on it and turn it into your waterfront dream home. You'll have fun using your sense of style to choose cosmetic updates, but rest assured, this property has been lovingly cared for with many big-ticket items already taken care of. The septic tank and drain field were replaced in June 2025. The well-water tank was replaced in 2023. Replacements include: roof 2022, dock roof 2022, house windows and doors 2013, well pump 2022, carpet, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. This charming home welcomes you with its attractive brick exterior and generous driveway for abundant parking. There's a 1-car garage currently being used for storage, but the 20x26 metal carport with concrete slab will easily store your vehicles. The covered front porch beckons you to sit and relax for a bit before stepping inside to find a bright and open interior with glorious panoramic water views from the wall of large windows. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are open concept, providing an easy flow for hosting holiday celebrations and fun summer parties with family and friends. Gorgeous luxury vinyl wood-plank flooring extends through the living and dining area, and expansive windows bring the water views and sunshine inside. The kitchen features low-maintenance tile flooring, ample cabinetry with pull-outs on the lower cabinets, and a convenient breakfast bar. The primary bedroom offers a spacious double-door closet, water views, and a private ensuite with a tiled shower. The carpeted guest bedroom features a large closet and easy access to the hallway bathroom, which boasts an updated tiled shower. The original screen porch was converted into an enclosed flex space with air conditioning, featuring tiled floors, a glass-front entry door, and a rear door leading to the backyard. What a great space for a kid's playroom, an art studio, fitness area, or whatever suits your family's needs. There's also a utility/storage room under A/C with shelving, a washer, and a dryer. The existing one-car garage features an electric door opener and includes a separate workshop with workbenches and a pegboard under A/C. Step into the backyard to feel the gentle breezes coming off the sparkling river waters. Imagine turning this outdoor space into your dream tropical oasis. Enjoy two private docks! One for fishing, and one to house your boat. You'll love the quick access this location provides to all of the natural beauty found on the coveted Harris Chain of Lakes. Enjoy fishing on Lake Eustis, lazily boating through the picturesque Dora Canal, or dining at popular waterfront restaurants. Whether boating, fishing, skiing, kayaking, or jet skiing, one thing is certain: this property puts all those opportunities at your fingertips.
