About this home
Welcome to an extraordinary lakefront estate in Tavares, gracefully positioned on a private peninsula along the coveted Harris Chain of Lakes. This exclusive enclave of 17 parcels is the most sought after address in Tavares. Encompassing 6,288 square feet, this timeless Cape Cod-style residence, built in 1997, blends classic architectural charm with expansive living spaces and an unparalleled waterfront lifestyle. This .9-acre home site sits at the water’s edge dotted with stately cypress trees. The sunsets are spectacular year-round and no two are alike!
Boasting 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, this thoughtfully designed 6,288 square foot home offers both elegance and functionality. The main level features a spacious primary suite, providing privacy and convenience, while rich wood floors and a stunning double-sided gas fireplace create warmth and sophistication throughout the living areas.
At the heart of the home, an inviting eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly into the family room, where vaulted ceilings with tongue-and-groove detailing and a cozy fireplace create an ideal gathering space. This open-air kitchen offers a connection to the family room, kitchen dining area, and family room with vast water views of Lake Harris. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and two full baths provide comfortable accommodations, while a separate oversized bunk room above the garage offers the perfect retreat for small guests.
