Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a private waterfront retreat on the shores of Lake Harris, one of the many lakes that make up the highly sought-after Harris Chain of Lakes. Offering over 3,100+ square feet of living space, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is perfectly positioned on a .67-acre lot on a quiet dead-end road, delivering exceptional privacy and breathtaking lake views.
Located in unincorporated Lake County, you’ll enjoy the benefit of lower property taxes while still being just minutes from downtown Tavares, shopping, dining, and medical facilities.
Inside, the home has been extensively updated and thoughtfully designed. The fully renovated kitchen features granite countertops, updated appliances, custom backsplash, abundant cabinetry, and a spacious breakfast bar overlooking the living areas. New hickory hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by updated plumbing, luxury ceiling fans, and beautifully renovated bathrooms with new vanities and one-piece luxury toilets. A redesigned fireplace and mantel add warmth and character, while new windows, doors, and a panoramic glass frame that fill the home with natural light and stunning lake views.
The open-concept living area flows seamlessly to the outdoor space, where a large, screened pool enclosure opens to new paver patios, a custom paver firepit, and mature oak trees that create a park-like setting. The decorative stone façade and decorative concrete driveway (2021) provide outstanding curb appeal.
Upstairs, the spacious loft area is ideal for a home office, creative studio, or quiet reading retreat, offering flexibility to suit your lifestyle while overlooking the main living space.
For boating enthusiasts, the property features direct Lake Harris frontage along with a private canal leading to a covered boathouse equipped with a new lift and automatic boat cover. Enjoy year-round navigable access to the entire Harris Chain of Lakes — perfect for boating, fishing, waterfront dining, and sunset cruises right from your backyard.
Major improvements include a new roof (2021) and a three-zone HVAC system (2021), providing peace of mind for years to come.
This is more than a home ~ it’s a private Lake Harris lifestyle defined by space, sunsets, and endless waterfront possibilities. All information recorded in the MLS is intended to be accurate however, it should be independently verified by buyer and their agent.
