Welcome to 1301 North Avenue, a beautifully preserved mid-century vintage cottage that blends timeless charm with the modern updates today’s buyers crave. This thoughtfully updated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home, tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood just one mile from the vibrant Tavares Entertainment District, offers the ideal mix of character, convenience and laid-back Florida living. Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors and a bright, open layout that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is a true standout, featuring a vintage aqua blue stove, matching retro-style refrigerator and microwave, and tasteful updates throughout that celebrate the home’s nostalgic roots while accommodating today’s lifestyle. One of the most versatile features of this home is the oversized second bedroom, which includes its own private exterior entrance—perfect for a guest suite, home office, or potential Airbnb rental. With its location backing up to the utility room, this space also offers the opportunity to add a second bathroom or create a fully independent mother-in-law suite, increasing both flexibility and value. Recent updates include three energy-efficient mini-split AC systems (2021), a new roof (2020), and a new hot water heater (2021), all contributing to low utility costs and added peace of mind. The private backyard is ideal for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying a quiet moment outdoors. With no HOA and the ability to golf cart to downtown Tavares for waterfront dining, live music, and year-round festivals, this home offers the relaxed Florida lifestyle you’ve been looking for. Plus, it's just minutes from Historic Downtown Mount Dora, and Advent Waterman Hospital. Why rent when you can own this affordable, character-filled home in one of Central Florida’s most vibrant and welcoming communities.
