11105 Cypress St., Tavares, FL 32778

On a quiet canal flowing from the waters of Lake Harris and the Dead River, where a necklace of Spanish moss dangles from the crowns of towering cypress trees, you will be embraced by the comforting feeling of Old Florida. An open floor plan, a screen enclosed swimming pool, Harris Chain-of-Lakes access, and a secluded yet accessible natural setting makes this 4 Bedroom, 3 Bath 2,000 sf brick home a dream come true for snowbirds, sportsmen, and those longing for a lifestyle of simplicity. Windows and light and space bring the outdoors in as tile flooring sweeps across each room to magnify interior dimensions. A master bedroom with brick fireplace and mantle brings to mind a wilderness lodge -- albeit one offset by a modern open kitchen with a glass top range and innovative storage created by double upper cabinetry. Additional bedrooms provide an option for a home office, while another spacious bedroom is highlighted by the warmth of hardwood flooring and rich sunshine streaming through a clear wall of sliding glass. Through this glass, a freeform gunite swimming pool sparkles beneath a screened enclosure to further convey an atmosphere of serenity. Steps away on the banks of a tranquil canal a unique boathouse/apartment creates an oasis within an oasis, while two sheds - one for tools and one for toys- provides space for the accoutrements of an active lifestyle. New Roof installed in 09/12.
