About This Home

As of February 2025

Searching for your family home with room to grow or just want plenty of room to spread out? Look no further than this two story home on .65 acres in the city of Tavares. Located on a dead end street, this spacious 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offers many features. Multi-level styling, with bedrooms upstairs and ample living space on the main level which includes the kitchen, a dinette, formal living room, formal dining room, family room, and laundry room with a half bath. If a wood burning fireplace has always been on your list of must haves - this home has two, both with a beautiful hearth and stone detailing; one in the family room and one in the primary bedroom which includes a laundry chute directly into the laundry room below. Dedicated office space on the second floor has two windows that overlook the front yard and offers a lake view just beyond the towering oak and cypress trees. If green space is an appreciated feature, you will have the added benefit of a private well on the property specifically for irrigation as you enjoy the large, private, fenced in backyard with a 23X18 concrete patio or select the covered front porch with an alternate view. In the attached two car garage you will find overhead attic space along with separate dry box wood storage which has direct and quick access to the family room fireplace.
This all comes together just a few miles from historic Mt. Dora and only minutes from downtown Tavares by car or golf cart in the well-established neighborhood of Banning Beach. Convenient to the amenities, shopping, schools, lake and outdoor activities, healthcare and entertainment. If a serene setting and no HOA appeals to you, this is the home for you.
