HARRIS CHAIN-OF-LAKES 3/3 POOL HOME W/ OFFICE FEATURES WATERFRONT AND WATERBACK! This unique direct lakefront property on Lake Harris also offers a beautiful waterway behind the home with views of wetlands and conservation area. Situated in a well-established community on a dead-end street graced with mature trees, the nearly 1-acre property is located on the coveted eastern shore with expansive lake views. Enjoy spectacular sunsets across the lake every evening through the home’s floor to ceiling windows or directly from your dock. Dock features a covered boathouse with electric lift and retractable cover. The shoreline is sea-walled and includes your own private boat ramp. Perfect for dropping in those wave-runners or kayaks for a day of fun and sightseeing with close access to the Dead River and Dora Canal. Upon entry into the home, you are greeted by a 25’ x 18’ living room with wood floors and a natural stone wall framing the wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen, with stainless steel appliances and solid wood cabinets with soft-close doors/drawers, is light and bright yet has warm elements of cherry wood countertops and a ledger-stone backsplash. Off the kitchen, there is wide open access to the family room with French doors and views of the screened pool/patio, water, and natural habitat. The master wing features en-suite bath, walk-in closet, access to garden lanai and pool through sliding doors and a separate room currently used as an office. Complete 575+ sq ft guest wing includes a private entrance, bedroom, living area and full bathroom with pool/patio access. This space makes for an excellent in-law quarters, teen suite, or games/media space and offers lake/sunset views through a large bank of sliding doors. The circular, paver brick driveway accommodates plenty of parking. 2-car carport. Attached side-entry garage and workshop. Laundry room and atrium/mudroom both present abundant storage space. New roof in August 2018. New well in August 2020. Backyard is fenced-in but the design leaves unobstructed views of the waterway, preserve and wetlands. As if all this wasn’t enough- Enjoy coffee, cocktails or dinner parties on the covered private deck overlooking the serene water and natural setting out back- a true oasis! Close to town and shopping via golf-cart friendly roads. Easy access to Florida Turnpike and just an hour to Orlando International Airport.
