ONE YEAR HOME WARRANTY PROVIDED BY SELLER! Welcome home to this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath property located on a desirable corner lot in the heart of Tavares, the Seaplane City and county seat of Lake County. With no HOA, this home offers freedom and flexibility, making it ideal as a first-time family home or a fantastic rental opportunity. Enjoy a private, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for outdoor recreation or a cozy firepit, plus a very large covered and screened-in back deck perfect for entertaining or relaxing year-round. French doors open to the porch from both the kitchen and the primary bedroom, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Inside, you'll find renovated bathrooms, new flooring, new windows, and a new refrigerator, along with peace of mind knowing the roof was replaced in November 2025 and the HVAC system is only two years old.
