Lakefront 4-Bedroom Pool Home with Stunning Views on Lake Saunders! Welcome to this spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath pool home situated on the shores of Lake Saunders, a 337-acre freshwater lake perfect for boating, fishing, and water sports. Wake up to breathtaking sunrises over the water and enjoy the beauty of lakefront living every day. With no HOA, this property offers flexibility and the chance to create your ideal lakeside retreat. This home is designed to take full advantage of its prime waterfront setting, offering gorgeous lake views from the living room, kitchen, primary bedroom, and Florida room. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace and a charming brick accent wall, adding warmth and character to the space. The Florida room is the perfect spot to relax while overlooking the 29x33 screen-enclosed swimming pool and shimmering lake beyond. Step outside to the pavered patio, ideal for outdoor gatherings, grilling, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. A private wood dock provides easy access to the lake for boating, fishing, or enjoying the scenery. The kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a center island with a prep sink, while the primary suite is conveniently located on the first floor with an ensuite bath and lake views. A second bedroom and an office are also on the main level. Downstairs, the massive finished basement features two additional bedrooms and a large, versatile space that could serve as a playroom, home theater, or even an in-law suite. Additional features include two HVAC units, an oversized laundry room with a half bath off the garage, and a 7x8 storage room that could be used as a workshop. A circular driveway provides ample parking, and recent updates—including a 2022 roof, new well, newer HVAC systems, and pool equipment—add to the home’s value. Situated on over half an acre, this home offers a fantastic opportunity to enjoy lakefront living in Tavares, the "Seaplane City." Just minutes from downtown Tavares and the charming town of Mount Dora, you'll have easy access to waterfront dining, festivals, and boutique shopping. Plus, with Orlando, the beaches, and other surrounding communities within reach, this home is a perfect blend of peaceful lake life and convenience.
