DIRECT WATERFRONT AND BOATHOUSE! ADORABLE 2 BR TAVARES COTTAGE ON CANAL WITH DIRECT ACCESS TO HARRIS CHAIN OF LAKES! Welcome home to this well-established community with quiet tree-lined streets and desirable canal frontage/lake access lots so you can enjoy the Florida lifestyle to the fullest. Imagine fishing, boating, skiing, paddle boarding, and more! Arrive home to this end of the cul-de-sac property and be captivated by its charm. You will love the lush, tidy half-acre lawn, attractive brick facade, and covered front entry porch. There is currently a wheelchair-accessible ramp to the front door, but it can be removed. A spacious driveway and two-car garage with a convenient screen slider exist. Inside is a move-in ready interior, but cosmetic updates could make it a showstopper. The A/C system was replaced in June 2023. Neutral walls, carpet, and tile flow throughout. The front living room is spacious, with an oversized, front-facing window. The kitchen offers a nice dining area, abundant counter space, wood cabinetry, storage drawers, and a full-wall built-in hutch area. A full bathroom with a single sink and walk-in shower is off the kitchen. From the dining area, a glass slider welcomes you to the family room with wood laminate flooring, a cozy brick, wood-burning fireplace, and an access door to the enclosed Florida room with windows. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet. There’s a cedar-lined closet in bedroom 2, and the second full bathroom is conveniently located near both bedrooms, and it offers a wheelchair-accessible shower and large sink vanity. There is a laundry room inside the garage which includes a utility sink. What a great house with tons of potential to make it your own. You’ll love spending time in the Florida room, enjoying the panoramic backyard and canal views. Step into your backyard and walk over to the enclosed boathouse. The surprise is that half of it is a shed/workshop space! The boathouse has both water and electricity. The edge of the property has an aluminum seawall and a little fishing pier for you to relax while away on a lazy afternoon day. You are conveniently located within a quick drive to every amenity—shopping, dining, medical, and more! What a wonderful opportunity to make this waterfront home your slice of Florida paradise!
