PRISTINE 3/2 WITH DEN LAKEFRONT HOME WITH PRIVATE DOCK AND BOATHOUSE IN DESIRABLE LAKE SAUNDERS POINTE. Welcome home to this sought-after, well-established Tavares community on the sparkling shoreline of beautiful Lake Saunders. This cozy neighborhood offers peace, tranquility, and beauty with stunning lake views, gentle breezes, and charming homes nestled onto tidy lawns graced with mature trees. This home greets you with lovely curb appeal comprised of mature trees, a spacious driveway, a convenient 2-car attached garage, a gabled roof (roof 2018), and an attractive stacked stone facade with an inviting glass-enclosed front porch. Step through the leaded-glass front door to find a lovely 2,052 SF home with vaulted ceilings, tile/carpet throughout, and pleasing, neutral wall colors. The tiled foyer has a beautiful, inlaid mosaic design. It leads to the convenient home office/den, offering the option for privacy, as it has a single door in addition to wide double pocket doors that open onto the expansive living room with its glorious Lake Saunders views. The living room is an inviting space ideal for hosting family and friend gatherings. Let the party flow outdoors by opening the double French doors to the enclosed lanai. Adjacent to the living room is the well-appointed kitchen with richly stained wood cabinetry and storage drawers, Granite counters, stainless appliances, a small appliance ‘garage,’ a large cooktop island, a spacious pantry, and a breakfast bar. Just a few steps away is the dining room boasting pristine lake views through the glass sliding door, which opens onto the covered patio. Enjoy the laundry room with a utility sink, storage closet, and an access door to the 2-car garage. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and wonderful lake views. The private bathroom is outfitted with a dual sink vanity, jetted soaking tub, and tiled shower. Two guest bedrooms share the full hallway bathroom with tub/shower. Relax on the rear enclosed lanai with expansive slider windows or on the covered patio, taking in the balmy lake breezes. The lake will eventually beckon you to the water’s edge. The long dock leads through the backyard and out to the covered boathouse. Enjoy fishing, boating, skiing, or kayaking in this blissful place of natural beauty. Walk next door to the community clubhouse and join friends for a game of billiards or take a dip in the refreshing pool! The very reasonable HOA monthly fee includes access to the clubhouse amenities in addition to lawn care. When you must leave this idyllic setting for shopping, dining, or medical facilities, know that everything you need is but a short drive away. The charming downtown areas of Tavares, Eustis, and Mount Dora are all less than 5 miles away. East Coast beaches, Orlando International Airport, Walt Disney World, and more are approximately an hour’s drive. This home's spacious and inviting ambiance is complemented by features that blend modern comfort with nature's splendor, ensuring that each day is a testament to the joys of lakefront luxury.
