LAKE EUSTIS CANAL-FRONT | 2024 HEATED SALTWATER POOL | SHORT GOLF CART RIDE TO DOWNTOWN TAVARES!

Step outside and you'll immediately see why this home is made for Florida living. The 2024 heated saltwater pool is surrounded by a screened enclosure and paver deck, creating a private outdoor space to enjoy throughout the year. The expansive canal frontage adds another dimension to the property, with an existing boathouse offering waterfront potential and access to the Harris Chain of Lakes.

The kitchen features freshly painted cabinetry and new appliances installed in 2024, along with many additional improvements throughout. A metal roof installed in 2015 adds to the home's list of major improvements. One of the standout features is the spacious primary suite, offering an impressive amount of room along with a beautifully updated bath featuring a large walk-in shower, dual vanity, extensive dressing and storage space, and a walk-in closet with built-in organization. The third bedroom is currently being used as a home office and features a built-in desk along with a built-in Murphy bed (mattress not included), making it easy to transition from workspace to guest accommodations when needed. The home is being offered partially furnished with a few seller exceptions, providing an opportunity for an easier move or seasonal setup. Whether you're searching for a full-time waterfront home, Florida getaway or investment property, this one offers a combination that's increasingly hard to find—waterfront living, a newer saltwater pool, a quiet cul-de-sac and golf-cart convenience to Downtown Tavares.
