One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Waterfront living meets flexible space! Set along the gradual shoreline of spring-fed Lake Hermosa. Built in 1979, this 3-bedroom, 4-bath home features a unique layout with the entire main house located upstairs, including the primary living areas and all bedrooms. Approximately 2,580 sq ft is on the upper level, plus an additional 1,219 sq ft in the finished, walk-out basement.Upstairs, enjoy a warm, inviting living space anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and crown molding throughout. The bonus room can flex as an office, hobby room, or extra living area. The bedroom wing is positioned away from the main gathering spaces for added separation, and a full bathroom off the laundry room adds everyday convenience.Step outside to the showstopper: a full-length rear balcony spanning the back of the home and overlooking Lake Hermosa—the perfect spot to take in the view. Powerboats are not permitted on the lake, adding to the peaceful setting.Downstairs, the finished basement is designed for entertaining and possibilities, offering a large great room with a wet bar, a full bathroom, and a separate room with its own outdoor entrance. There’s also a jetted hot tub in its own room and a screened porch area, creating multiple spaces to relax and unwind. With the walk-out access and existing bath, the lower level offers strong potential for a private suite-style setup or extended living configuration (buyer to verify any intended use and requirements).This house even has an RV hookup near its oversized driveway!Additional highlights include a newer roof (2024), 1 newer HVAC (2 units), public water, septic, no HOA, and an oversized side-entry 2-car garage. Conveniently located near US Hwy 441, close to downtown Eustis and Tavares, and approximately an hour from Disney.
