Overview

Virtually Staged. A Rare Find in Tavares—Rustic Charm, Modern Updates & Room to Spread Out!

Rustic cabin character meets modern comfort in this unique 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home, conveniently located just minutes from downtown Tavares, Mount Dora, and Eustis. With a private pool, detached mother-in-law suite, and inviting outdoor gathering spaces, this property offers plenty of flexibility.

Inside, wood beams, warm finishes, and original hardwood flooring in the front of the home create a welcoming atmosphere. The updated kitchen features an oversized granite island, gas stove, newer appliances, and two spacious walk-in pantry and storage areas. A tin roof adds to the home’s distinctive character.

The spacious primary suite offers rustic ceiling details, a walk-in closet, and an adjoining laundry room. Both bathrooms have updated walk-in showers, along with a traditional toilet and a urinal.

From the entry, your eyes are drawn toward the backyard pool. A covered porch, poolside bar, kitchenette area, and charming swing make this a wonderful spot for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, or a relaxing evening at home.

The completely detached mother-in-law suite is a standout feature, offering its own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and living area. With a private fenced yard and separate access from both the front and back, it provides comfortable space for extended family or guests.

Additional features include a private man cave and covered storage for boats, recreational vehicles, and outdoor equipment. Water lovers will also appreciate community access to beautiful, spring-fed Lake Saunders.
