About This Home

As of August 2023

Under contract-accepting backup offers. There once was a world traveler who found himself in the beautiful hills of Lake County Florida. Not sure if it was the elevation, the warm breeze or angelic sunsets, but he was hooked! The “tropical seas” he had navigated, mountains he had climbed, he needed a place to call HOME, a “harbor” ...Royal Harbor! This pristine 55+ community sits on the shores of Little Lake Harris and is just a mile from the quaint town of Howey in the Hills, home to the world renowned Mission Inn Golf Resort where 2 amazing golf courses, 4 restaurants and spa are all open to the public! It’s quite nice to have choices like these just minutes from your doorstep! Inside the community is all about keeping the integrity flawless and residents pride themselves in keeping their homes, yards and amenities in lovely condition, pet friendly too! This particular home sits on a premier corner lot in the highest part of the community and is walking distance to the clubhouse, lighthouse and mailboxes! Golf carts are permitted, so grab a picnic lunch and your fishing pole for a nice afternoon at the lake view pavilion and fishing pier! Need a little exercise? There are miles of biking and walking paths, bocce, tennis, pickle ball and shuffleboard courts and of course a fabulous pool and spa! The social hall has a craft room, billiards tables, card room and library! There's also a computer/meeting area, but “hey, aren’t you retired?”!!! Now, let’s take a walk inside 3600 Tropical Seas! The driveway is flat and has plenty of room for multiple cars. The soaring palm trees dance in the wind as you approach the screened front porch! Room for a love seat and chairs, it’s a nice spot to visit and prop the front door open during the cool autumn weather. The home is like sunshine with a splash of citrus! Growing up, memories held most dear were of their Key West holidays! After decades of visiting the tropical oasis, this family decided to paint their interior HAPPY! If you’re a little more neutral, don’t fret! We know an amazing painter! The floor plan is awesome. You'll love the expansive great room with an additional sitting area overlooking the 15 x 22 screened lanai! A small “sleeping” porch with acrylic/screen windows provides another spot for guests or an afternoon book! Mature landscaping graces the backyard and provides a very private spot for sunbathing and BBQs! Nice high ceilings and ample windows also add to this open concept. The eat-in kitchen has a small breakfast bar and a ton of cabinet and counter space! The 2 story ceiling with transom windows lets you enjoy the vivid blue sky while cooking! An oversized garage is just off the kitchen and has a large laundry area. The 2 bedrooms each have a full bath and plenty of closet space. Small niches and built-ins give this home a little extra character and places to display your cherished trinkets. A great location and home! In closing, the Harris Chain of Lakes is just a boat ride away from Historic Downtown Mount Dora, Florida’s Sea Plane haven in Tavares, Trimble Park Campground and more! You can even venture out through various locks to the intracoastal waterway! Private RV/Boat Lot is also available on-site. NEW HVAC in 2019, NEW exterior paint and NEW windows with transferrable lifetime warranty in 2022! Roof is in good condition with 8-10 years left according to the new stringent insurance requirements!
