Property Description

Welcome to this lovingly maintained and beautifully updated residence nestled on 1.5 acres. This stunning equestrian-friendly property perfectly blends the tranquility of country living with modern, refined style, offering ample space both inside and out for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying Florida’s natural beauty. Step inside to discover an inviting open floor plan featuring wood flooring, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and thoughtful updates throughout. A dramatic two-story foyer leads into a spacious family room centered around a cozy fireplace with custom built-in bookshelves and expansive views of the sparkling pool. Sliding pocket doors seamlessly connect the indoors to the screened lanai, creating the ideal flow for gatherings with family and friends. The remodeled kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring sleek granite countertops, gas cooktop with grill and griddle, vent hood, pot filler, built-in double oven, breakfast bar, wine refrigerator, crisp cabinetry with custom lighting, a large center island with butcher block countertop, walk-in pantry, and a dinette area. The main floor also offers a formal living and dining room w/crown molding, a guest bedroom & full bath, a laundry room, & a luxurious primary suite designed for comfort and privacy. The primary suite includes a spa-inspired bath with dual vanities, a jetted tub, walk-in shower, private water closet, & a custom walk-in closet. Upstairs, two spacious guest bedrooms with walk-in closets share a full bath with dual vanities, while a versatile loft provides the perfect space for a media room, home office, or hobby area. Outside, the expansive screened pool and spa has tile accents with solar & electric heater creating a peaceful retreat year-round, while the large fenced yard and side paver patio provide endless possibilities for additional building, RV & garden use. The oversized three-car side-entry garage offers ample space for vehicles, equipment, or toys. Recent updates and features include exterior painting in 2024, a fully replaced screen enclosure 1.5 years ago, new pool equipment including a salt chlorinator, pool pump, filters, electric heater, and solar panels, epoxy-painted pool deck and garage floors in 2025, updated landscaping, and leaf guards on gutters. The property is fully fenced with four-rail and no-climb fencing, and the inner back and side deck areas are fenced for added safety for children and pets. A leased 500-gallon buried propane tank through Amerigas powers a Generac whole-house generator, kitchen cooktop, tankless 190,000 BTU Rinnai on-demand water heater, dryer, and outdoor gas grill, with plumbing in place to add a gas spa/pool heater. County water and septic add further savings. Shirley Shores is known for its large lots, scenic rural-equestrian ambiance, and proximity to the Harris Chain of Lakes, downtown Tavares, and charming Mount Dora. Enjoy the secluded, country-like lifestyle of Squirrel Point and Deer Island while staying just minutes from shopping, dining, and recreational amenities — all without the longer commutes often associated with private acreage living. This exceptional home has had only two owners in its 20-year history and is move-in ready, perfectly embodying the best of Florida living. It offers elegance, comfort, and plenty of room to grow, whether your dream includes family gatherings, equestrian pursuits, or simply enjoying the peace and beauty of a well-cared-for property on spacious acreage.
