Live. Life. Lakefront. Set on 125 feet of Lake Dora waterfront, this 2024 residence is one of just 11 lakefront homesites in historic downtown Tavares. Modern architecture and a warm, light-filled interior set the tone, while public water and sewer offer a rare lakeside convenience. The great room, dining area, and kitchen are beautifully connected, with expansive black-framed sliders opening to the pool and lanai. The kitchen pairs a generous waterfall island and quartz counters with custom Elmwood cabinetry, floating white oak shelves, a custom hood, pot filler, Ruvati sinks, and a smart faucet. Wolf appliances, a JennAir Obsidian refrigerator, Fisher & Paykel dish drawers, a nugget ice maker, and a separate scullery with a full-size beverage refrigerator make the space as practical as it is inviting. The first-floor primary suite is joined by an office with a walk-in closet and full bath, offering the flexibility of a second main-level suite. Upstairs, three bedroom suites complement an entertainment loft and full-length balcony, reached by elevator or a picturesque staircase. Laundry rooms on both levels and a full pool bath add everyday ease. Retractable screens and a summer kitchen extend the living space onto the lanai. The heated pool doubles as a full-size spa, with jets, LED lighting, a sun shelf, in-pool barstools, and laminars. At the water's edge, a two-story boathouse features twin lifts, a cleaning table, and an upper sun deck with panoramic views. A concrete seawall and natural boat ramp complete the 125-foot waterfront. A 2025 24' Godfrey Sweetwater pontoon boat is included, inviting the new owners to begin enjoying the lake from day one. A 52-foot motorhome garage is a rare addition, complemented by an attached two-car garage and oversized driveway. The RV garage includes two 50-amp connections, an RV sewer connection, and a 10-foot Big Ass Fan. One 50-amp connection can also serve as an EV charger. Built for comfort and peace of mind, the home features a Generac whole-house generator with automatic transfer switch, a 500-gallon propane tank, three A/C systems including one dedicated to the primary suite, spray-foam insulation, a metal roof, and Hardie board and block construction. Smart-home controls operate the garage doors, pool, irrigation, pond, and A/C; remote blinds, exterior screens, and nine cameras add convenience and security. Lake Dora connects to more than 75,000 acres of Harris Chain waters, with boating from the dock to Lake Harris, Lake Eustis, the cypress-lined Dora Canal, and Deer Island for a round of golf. Fishing for bass, bream, crappie, and catfish begins at the dock. Downtown Tavares is a short golf cart ride away, with Planes, Tunes & BBQ, the Sunnyland Antique Boat Festival, Rocktoberfest, hometown parades, and holiday lights in both downtown Tavares and Mount Dora. Downtown Mount Dora, by boat or a short drive, offers its nationally ranked Arts Festival, craft fairs, and fine dining. Orlando is only 45 minutes away.
