Property Description
Tavares Sears Craftsman! Adorable Circa 1925 Cottage represents a step back in time with modern conveniences. Situated central to Lake County Seat, with easy access to hospitals, shopping, restaurants and downtown parks in Tavares "America's Seaplane City". This special home is a picture of warmth and charm rarely found today. A must have front porch is an expression of the era and the place to spend relaxing time. Entering the front door into the main home, you are welcomed by a spacious living room complete with wood burning fireplace and original hard wood flooring that flows throughout most of the home. Memories are made in the beautiful dining room, featuring built-ins and window seat storage. The kitchen is filled with natural light, surprisingly large, encompassing lots of counter space, separate work areas, island, double sinks, eat in kitchen, walk-in pantry and laundry area. Plenty of room for 2 cooks in this kitchen! Master bedroom has a private bath and it's own exit to the peaceful screened porch overlooking the back yard. 2 additional bedrooms and guest bath with tub plus nooks and crannies round out the interior. The Back porch is off the kitchen and master bedroom and leads to an wonderful open porch inviting sunshine and fun times. The backyard has a fire pit area and a 8x12 utility shed. Parking and driveway are to the side leading to the back and provide plenty of room for your cars. A great spot in a great city, close to Mount Dora, Eustis and all the festivals.
