About This Home

Lots of bang for your buck! Welcome to this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in the highly sought-after Fox Run 55+ community in Tavares—known as “America’s Seaplane City” and home to a vibrant, growing downtown along Lake Dora, part of the renowned Harris Chain of Lakes. Inside, you’ll find easy-care laminate flooring throughout most of the home, fresh interior paint and a generously sized great room perfect for entertaining, and a bright sunroom that adds extra living space to relax and unwind. Step outside to a fenced backyard—ideal for pets, privacy, or simply enjoying Florida’s beautiful weather. Located just around the corner from the community marina and scenic boardwalk, this home offers a lifestyle as appealing as the home itself. Residents enjoy two pools (including a heated pool), a welcoming clubhouse, boat launch, and peaceful waterfront strolls. Bring your boat-with direct access to the iconic Dora Canal—often called “one of the most beautiful miles of waterway in the world”—you’ll have effortless boating access to seven lakes, connecting Lake Dora to Lake Eustis-boat ramp inside of community. Living in the “Golden Triangle” means you’re minutes from the charm of Mount Dora and Eustis—enjoying festivals, waterfront dining, and the ever-popular First Friday events. Plus, you’re just about an hour to Florida’s east coast beaches and roughly two hours to the Gulf. Great opportunity. Incredible lifestyle. The time is now.
