About this home
If your idea of “roughing it” is having to get out of the pool to get on the boat, we should talk. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Tavares, 1627 Canal Ct is the kind of waterfront property that is getting harder and harder to find. This block-built home offers 4 bedrooms (or 3 bedrooms plus an office), 3 full bathrooms, and a flexible layout that includes an area that would make an ideal in-law suite, guest quarters, or private space for family. There’s no carpet anywhere in the home, and the kitchen features stainless steel appliances. But the real showstopper is out back. The property offers approximately 150 feet of water frontage along a wide, clean canal with access to Lake Eustis and the Harris Chain of Lakes. Bring the boat and the fishing poles—or just your drink and a chair. The large screened-in concrete pool creates the perfect spot to spend Florida afternoons, while the block boathouse gives you a place to keep your boat and enjoy life on the water. Add in the large yard, and there’s plenty of room to actually enjoy the property beyond the pool and canal. And because nobody wants to fall in love with a waterfront home only to immediately start worrying about the roof, this one was replaced in 2020 and comes with a fully transferable roof warranty through 2041. Then there’s the location—and this is where the lifestyle really comes together. From here, you can golf cart to downtown Tavares or downtown Mount Dora, putting restaurants, bars, festivals, live entertainment, shopping, and all the events these popular downtowns have to offer right at your fingertips. And when you want to change things up, you can take the boat and explore the Harris Chain of Lakes, with the opportunity to reach other waterfront destinations along the way. Daily conveniences are just minutes away, too. A quick five-minute golf cart ride gets you to the new Aldi coming soon, the post office, or Twisty Treat when the only thing that matters is ice cream. This is the kind of location where you don't have to wait until retirement to start enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Live on the water. Take the boat. Grab the golf cart. Go to dinner. Meet friends downtown. Jump in the pool. Do it again tomorrow. Whether you're looking forward to retirement or simply decided you'd rather start enjoying life now, this is where it's at.
