Property Description
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. This isn’t just a house—it’s the beginning of a new chapter This exceptional 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home offers a rare feature seldom found in Lake Frances Estates—a private mother-in-law suite, making it ideal for extended family, guests, or multi-generational living. Convenience begins the moment you arrive. In addition to the main entrance, the property offers rear street access, providing extra parking for vehicles, a golf cart, or visiting guests. Step outside and discover an inviting outdoor patio designed for relaxing mornings, evening gatherings, and entertaining friends. The private, fenced backyard creates the perfect setting for pets, family celebrations, or peaceful afternoons. A welcoming 48’ x 12’ covered front porch invites you inside, where you’ll immediately appreciate the warm, comfortable atmosphere of the spacious living room. Just off the entry is the laundry room, which leads to the private guest suite with its own bedroom and full bathroom—offering comfort and privacy for visitors. The beautifully designed kitchen and dining area serve as the heart of the home, combining functionality with an open, inviting layout that feels like your own private retreat. Nearby, you’ll find the second guest bedroom and another full bathroom, thoughtfully positioned for convenience. At the rear of the home, the spacious primary suite offers a peaceful escape, complete with a generously sized ensuite bathroom designed for everyday comfort. For even more living space, the large family room is perfect for movie nights, hobbies, or entertaining, with direct access to the expansive 20’ x 10’ lanai, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. Beyond the home itself, you’ll enjoy everything that makes Lake Frances Estates so special. This welcoming community offers an active lifestyle with golf cart access throughout the neighborhood—and even into beautiful downtown Tavares, where you can enjoy waterfront dining, charming shops, local events, and some of Florida’s most spectacular sunsets. Homes with this combination of space, privacy, flexibility, and unique features rarely become available in Lake Frances Estates. Don’t miss this opportunity.
