One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. If “quiet mornings, lake air, and an easy small-town rhythm” sounds like your kind of life, 1413 Orange Avenue delivers it in the best way—cozy, quaint, and genuinely inviting.

Set in a desirable pocket of Tavares where canals and lakefront homes weave through the neighborhood, this classic 1957 brick ranch sits on a generous fenced corner lot that gives you room to breathe—and room to play. Inside, the layout feels harmonious and balanced: connected living spaces, low-maintenance tile and LVP throughout, and just the right amount of charm. The primary bedroom even features a built-in entertainment cubby and gridded wood shelving—one of those little details that makes a home feel memorable.

The real magic is outdoors. Slide into the screened patio, then step out to your screened kidney-shaped saltwater pool, framed by a paver deck—your own private “reset button” after work or on weekends. With updated pool equipment (including pump, filter, and salt cell), it's set up for more enjoying and less fussing.

And then there's the lifestyle: you're only about 300 feet from Lake Eustis, roughly 1/2 mile to a public boat ramp, and about 1.5 miles to downtown Tavares—a waterfront town known as the Seaplane City, with events like Planes, Tunes & BBQ featuring Seaplane-A-Palooza and a dining scene that keeps the weekends interesting. Golf-cart-friendly roads make the short trip into town feel like part of the fun, not another errand.

Big-ticket confidence builders are here too: roof ~14 years (recently inspected), central HVAC ~15 years with consistent 2x/yr. maintenance, and full-house repipe (2022)—all the unsexy upgrades that matter when you want a home that lives well.

This is the kind of place where the evenings get quieter, the sky feels bigger, and the only question is: will you be floating in the pool, or heading to the lake?
