    What's special

    Fully updated in 2023, this 1920 home offers 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a flowing layout with a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining room, and a gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and a peninsula breakfast bar. A versatile bonus room with a built-in bar overlooks the courtyard, ideal as a lounge, game room, or media space. The lower-level rec room adds even more living and entertaining space and is not included in the listed square footage. Extras include three-zone A/C, a walkable attic with expansion potential, a private backyard with covered patio, RV parking with hookups, and a whole-house Generac generator. Directly across from Lake Dora with lake views from the porch, the home is steps from downtown Tavares' restaurants, Wooton Park (new playground and splash pad), and the Tavares Pavilion event venue, all within the city's growing Central Business District. With its prime location, character, and guest-friendly amenities, this home would make a great investment for a short-term vacation rental. It is also zoned for flexible use as a residence, office, or commercial space, a rare opportunity for buyers seeking historic character with modern versatility in the heart of downtown Tavares.
