Virtually Staged. Waterfront living, generous space and exceptional value come together at 1021 Hilltop Road in Tavares. Located in the established 55+ Imperial Terrace East community, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 2,528 square feet of living area along with approximately 70 feet of canal frontage, a covered boat dock and lift, and convenient access to the Central Florida boating lifestyle. One of the home's greatest advantages is its size. With considerably more living space than many canal-front homes in the community, the floor plan includes an impressive 26' x 24' living room, a 19' x 15' primary bedroom with two walk-in closets, a spacious 17' x 20' Florida room, and a separate TV/office area. A very large laundry room with abundant storage adds even more functionality. Whether entertaining, accommodating guests, enjoying hobbies or simply wanting room to spread out, this home provides flexibility that can be difficult to find in waterfront properties at this price point. The spacious Florida room and large covered 16' x 26' back porch both offer canal-front views, creating inviting spaces for morning coffee, reading, dining, entertaining or simply relaxing while enjoying the waterfront setting. Outside, enjoy your own canal frontage and covered dock with boat lift. These features make it easy to spend more time enjoying the water and less time trailering a boat. The standing-seam metal roof and low-maintenance exterior add to the home's practicality. At Imperial Terrace East, you own the land—there is no lot rent—and the community offers an appealing collection of amenities with a low HOA fee of approximately $50 per month. Residents enjoy a clubhouse, swimming pool, tiki bar, billiards, library, shuffleboard and private boat launch. Boat trailer and RV storage is also available to owners for an additional annual fee. The location adds another layer of value. Situated just off Highway 441, the home is convenient to shopping, dining, medical facilities and everyday services, while downtown Tavares, Mount Dora, Leesburg and The Villages are all within an easy drive. Central Florida's location also provides convenient access to Orlando, area airports and both coasts. For buyers comparing canal-front homes, 1021 Hilltop Road offers a compelling combination of waterfront access, private dock and lift, more than 2,500 square feet of living area, two walk-in closets, extensive storage, an oversized laundry room, canal-front views from the Florida room and large covered back porch, land ownership and a highly convenient Tavares location.
