About this home
As the morning sun filters through the windows, you pour a cup of coffee and settle into the bright Florida room, where birdsong and gentle breezes welcome the day. Later, a short golf cart ride takes you to downtown Tavares for lunch by the lake, boutique shopping, or a breathtaking sunset over the water. Returning home, you enjoy the comfort of an updated kitchen, spacious living areas, and the peaceful charm of a friendly 55+ you own the land.
