About this home
Step into a private garden oasis as a trellis walkway, wrapped in wisteria and lush Florida-friendly foliage, welcomes you home. Originally a fish camp on Lake Griffin, this mid-century home with Coquina shell stucco has been transformed into a stunning single-family lake retreat, seamlessly blending character with modern comfort. As you enter, the spacious great room immediately captures your attention with its high ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, and large picture windows that frame breathtaking views of the lake. The open layout seamlessly incorporates a dining area, where Edison-style lighting casts a warm glow beneath a modern eight-blade ceiling fan, creating an inviting space for both relaxation and entertaining. The thoughtfully designed kitchen is sure to meet your expectations with custom cabinetry to maximize storage & efficiency. Premium appliances include built-in dual convection ovens, an induction cooktop, and sleek stainless-steel appliances, all complemented by exquisite soapstone countertops. A uniquely designed pantry offers additional storage and convenience, making meal preparation an absolute pleasure. The primary suite is a true retreat, featuring two spacious walk-in closets and direct access to the inside laundry room, complete with a washer, gas dryer, and built-in cabinets. The en-suite bath is a haven of relaxation, boasting a double vanity, a luxurious jetted tub with an inline heater, and a large walk-in shower outfitted with state-of-the-art fixtures. Two additional bedrooms provide ample space for family or guests and share a newly remodeled bathroom designed with style and comfort in mind. Modern upgrades throughout the home ensure effortless living. The Mitsubishi Ductless Air Conditioning System offers precise climate control, while updated windows come with a lifetime warranty. A whole-house water softener system and a tankless gas water heater enhance efficiency. The property also includes a transferable termite bond for added peace of mind. Outdoor living is just as exceptional as the interior. A spacious screened enclosure houses a solar-heated saltwater pool (2018) with a gas-heated spa, providing the perfect setting for relaxation. The private boathouse and dock feature a covered boat lift and ample storage for gear, all set against a stunning stone seawall that protects your shoreline. An irrigation system sourced from the lake ensures that the lush landscaping remains vibrant year-round. Recent improvements to the home include a new roof in 2018, a water heater in 2017, and a newly installed driveway and storage shed in 2024. A whole-house generator, also added in 2024, offers additional security and convenience. Spanning over 9,327 acres, Lake Griffin is a paradise for nature lovers and anglers alike, offering some of Florida’s best largemouth bass fishing. As the final link in the Harris Chain of Lakes, it provides easy access to the Ocklawaha River and beyond. Whether you prefer boating, kayaking, or simply soaking in the untouched natural beauty, this lakefront location delivers an unparalleled lifestyle. Nestled near Leesburg, this home provides close proximity to the University of Florida Medical Center, the charming historic downtown area, and effortless access to Orlando’s world-renowned attractions, beaches, and international airport. This is more than just a home—it’s a gateway to the ultimate lakefront lifestyle. Schedule your private tour today and experience its beauty firsthand.
Local Insight
At $870K, this waterfront property is positioned at the top of Leesburg's market—well above the move-up family range ($480K–$750K)—so you're paying a premium for direct water access on Lake Harris and the private pool, not typical neighborhood appreciation. The 1952 build date means you're inheriting potential foundation, plumbing, and electrical concerns common to that era, which should factor heavily into your inspection and any renovation budget. This is a location and amenity play rather than a value play, best suited for buyers who specifically want lakefront in a historic downtown setting and can absorb older-home maintenance realities.
