Property Description
Welcome to this enchanting waterfront retreat nestled in the warm and welcoming Lake Harris Shores community of Tavares. Here, you can embrace the joy of relaxed, affordable lakefront living surrounded by friendly neighbors and beautiful natural scenery. Imagine spending your days on the private sandy beach along Little Lake Harris, enjoying the community boat launch and clubhouse where gatherings with friends and family are effortless. Whether you're gliding along peaceful canals or savoring afternoons at the laid-back waterfront restaurants of the Harris Chain of Lakes, every moment feels like a cherished escape. This home invites you in with a charming front porch and an interior that radiates cozy waterfront warmth. Soft, neutral tones and ceramic tile flooring create a seamless, comfortable flow throughout. The updated kitchen shines with new cabinetry and Quartz countertops, opening gracefully to the dining and gathering rooms through a wide cased opening, where built-ins and expansive windows frame serene water views. A bright, separate living room offers a perfect nook to relax or entertain loved ones. Privacy abounds with two bedrooms and two baths tucked away, including a beautifully refreshed primary bath featuring a walk-in shower, new cabinetry, and Quartz countertops. The glass-enclosed Florida room is a standout space-perfect for unwinding while soaking in breathtaking water views. Step out onto the screened lanai to savor your morning coffee as the sun rises over the canal, setting the tone for a day filled with water adventures. Whether fishing, cruising, or exploring nearby lakeside gems, this home blends comfort, charm, and waterfront bliss. Set on an oversized lot boasting 109 feet of water frontage, you'll find a seawall and boathouse just steps from your back door. The spacious garage offers 600 square feet of space complete with a workbench, ready for your projects and hobbies. This home truly checks every box on your list. While you can't buy happiness, you can buy a lake home and that's pretty close to the same thing.
