Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to a place where time slows down, breezes sweep off the lake, and every sunrise feels like a quiet promise. Tucked along 2.55 acres of beautifully landscaped lakefront on Lake Eva, this mid-century brick home radiates the kind of soul, character, and warmth that only a classic Florida residence can offer. From the moment you pull onto the peaceful, country lane of Hickory Drive and get your first glimpse of this property and the lake beyond, the "park-like" setting sets the tone--towering trees, generous open lawn, and a gentle slope leading to 137 feet of private water frontage. Whether it's weekend paddleboarding, morning coffee as the water glows with the rising sun, or all-out waterskiing, life here unfolds at the easy rhythm of the Central Florida countryside. Step inside and you'll feel the embrace of a home built with care: original red oak hardwood floors, crown molding, plantation shutters, built-ins at every turn, and a fireplace anchoring the living room in pure mid-century coziness. The beautifully remodeled kitchen blends modern function with timeless charm--granite counters, solid wood cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and stainless-steel appliances. The home's layout flows effortlessly, offering spaces that invite lingering: a formal dining room with room for long, laughter-filled gatherings; a den that transitions easily from quiet office to creative retreat; and a sprawling 21x18 Florida room lined with windows overlooking the lake. It's the kind of room that becomes a favorite--the place for board games, reading marathons, rainy-day naps, and impromptu sunset toasts. The bedrooms carry the same warmth and character, each with wood floors and thoughtful built-ins. The primary suite features an en-suite bath filled with natural light. Every space feels intentional, well kept, and loved. A brand-new roof in 2024 brings peace of mind for years to come. Outdoors, the lifestyle expands. A 30x30 detached garage--massive, versatile, and ready for boats, workshops, or hobby havens--complements the attached one-car garage for a total of three bays. Mature landscaping frames the property, giving it both privacy and storybook charm. A concrete dock provides easy lake access, and the acreage gives you room to dream, whether it's gardens, gatherings, or simply space to breathe. Homes like this rarely come along: warm, soulful, beautifully maintained, and sitting on an exceptional stretch of lakefront land. This is a retreat, a playground, and a legacy property wrapped into one--ready to welcome its next chapter and the people who will write it.
