Home Description

Charming and sophisticated home with upgrades, lake views, and community dock on Little Lake Harris. Welcome to your dream retreat in Howey-in-the-Hills, a serene and enchanting town where moss-draped oaks and swaying palms line the shores of sparkling Little Lake Harris. Offering peace, tranquility, a slice of "Old Florida" charm, and no HOA, this picture-perfect community invites you to experience lakeside living at its finest. Access to a community dock and boat ramp means you’re just moments away from the highly sought-after Harris Chain of Lakes, ideal for boating, fishing, or dining at waterfront restaurants. This beautifully crafted 2,204 sq. ft. home, built in 2019, is nestled on a one-third-acre lot with lake views. Lovingly maintained by its original owner, the home is a testament to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel at ease as captivating lake views greet you upon entering the spacious driveway. The home’s cottage-style architecture exudes charm, featuring a gable roof, shuttered windows, and a welcoming front porch framed by lush landscaping. The two-car garage and extended driveway provide ample parking for you and your guests. Step inside and discover a well-designed, split-bedroom floor plan tailored for both privacy and entertainment. The neutral color palette, complemented by wood-look tile flooring and 9-foot ceilings (10 feet in the main living area), creates a bright, open, and inviting atmosphere. Elegant details, including custom wainscoting, crown molding, tray ceilings, recessed lighting, plantation shutters, and 5-panel interior doors, elevate the home’s style. The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area, perfect for hosting family and friends. The stylish kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring soft-close cabinetry with pull-out shelves, granite countertops, an elegant tile backsplash, a center island with breakfast bar seating, pendant lighting, a built-in buffet, and a walk-in pantry. A glass sliding door leads to the rear lanai, where you’ll find a wood-plank ceiling, ceiling fan, and panoramic slider windows—an ideal space to relax or entertain while taking in the beautiful views. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering crown molding, a bay window with a built-in desk, private access to the lanai, and an en-suite bathroom with dual-sink granite counters, a sleek custom-tiled shower with a frameless glass surround, and a spacious walk-in closet. Two additional guest bedrooms feature large closets and share a stylish full bathroom with designer finishes and a tub/shower combination in the hallway. Further highlights include a convenient laundry room with extra storage, a garage featuring a painted floor and pull-down attic access, and energy-saving solar panels for an eco-friendly lifestyle. The outdoor space offers endless possibilities. The backyard is a blank canvas, ready for your dream outdoor oasis. You’ll find one of the many community lakefront docks at the end of the street—a perfect spot to watch sunsets. Griffin Park provides additional access to the Harris Chain of Lakes, a few blocks away via the town boat ramp. Convenient toll roads are nearby, with easy access to Orlando International Airport, Disney World, and other major attractions. This hidden gem in Howey-in-the-Hills is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. See for yourself and discover this exceptional property's peaceful charm and modern comforts.
