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.

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.
