Description

Start living your best Florida life in this adorable little house located just a quick walk from downtown Tavares, the hub of Lake County, otherwise known as America's Seaplane City!! Only a .5-mile walk leads you down a meandering boardwalk overlooking the lake to the waterfront district with restaurants, shops, Wooten Park, the Marina, City Hall, and the infamous Sea Planes!! Recent updates have been made to turn this 2-bedroom and 2-bathroom home into a perfect starter home, short term or long-term rental, or winter retreat! As you enter the front door there is an open concept kitchen overlooking a living area, and a small dining space, a bar top also allows for island seating looking into the kitchen. An inside laundry area sits to the side of the dining space separated from the main room by a door. The full kitchen has dark modern cabinets and solid surface countertops, a pantry, and it leads back to two separate bedrooms each with their own en suite bathrooms. Bedroom one sits to the back of the home and has a tub/shower combo. Bedroom 2 has a standup shower, new vanity, and an additional space in the room for a dresser or desk area. New vinyl flooring is throughout the home, with neutral colors, and stylish bathrooms. This home is ready to go and sure to please!! Sitting on a large corner lot there is plenty of room for additional vehicles or to add a garage. A shed with power hooked up sits to the side of the home and a large, fenced yard sits to the other side. With NO HOA, and the home's convenient location this home is sure to go fast. Love Bass fishing? Sitting just a few steps from the Harris Chain, this home can be a perfect Fishermans paradise, Boaters dream, or Sea Plane enthusiast's retreat. A few of the photos have been virtually staged. Agent/Owner.
