Welcome home to Howey-in-the-Hills, a charming waterfront community nestled along the shores of Little Lake Harris on the beautiful Harris Chain of Lakes. Here, life moves at a relaxed pace, with endless opportunities for boating, fishing, and soaking up the Florida sunshine — and best of all, there’s no HOA. If you’ve been dreaming of a place to truly embrace the Florida lifestyle, make lasting memories, and settle into a home that feels just right from the moment you arrive, this is it. This thoughtfully remodeled stucco and block ranch home sits on a generous .42-acre lot framed by mature landscaping. With its low-maintenance design and extensive updates, all that’s left to do is move in and start enjoying. Over the past two years: all new light fixtures, baseboards throughout, an AirScubber by ActivePure installed on AC for clean air, exterior motion sensor light, new garage door opener, updated water softener, and also both bathrooms have been beautifully renovated from top to bottom, including updated plumbing. The private en suite bath offers a walk-in shower, stylish new vanity and cabinetry, updated countertops, and its own tankless water heater for added comfort and efficiency. The kitchen blends modern updates with timeless farmhouse charm — featuring appliances just two years old, new updated countertops and backsplash, and a new sink and faucet. Throughout the home, you’ll appreciate the fresh interior paint and wood-look ceramic tile flooring that create a warm, cohesive feel. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, and a flexible family room/den (perfect as a potential fourth bedroom), there’s plenty of space to fit your lifestyle. An additional room off the dining area offers the ideal spot for a home office, hobby room, or reading nook. The oversized two-car garage provides ample storage and convenience. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with its own updated walk-in shower. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized with great closet space, and the hall bath features a beautifully remodeled shower/tub combination. Step outside to enjoy the oversized fenced backyard, which backs up to a park — a wonderful space for gatherings, pets, gardening, or simply relaxing under the Florida sky. Major improvements completed within the last eight years include the roof, HVAC, electrical updates, exterior paint, kitchen cabinetry, water heater, front gutters, and a French drain for the driveway — offering peace of mind for years to come. Location is everything, and this home truly delivers. You’re just minutes from the Howey boat ramp for easy access to the Chain of Lakes, as well as nearby parks, a nature preserve, playground, fishing pier, library, local market, dining, and salons. Daily conveniences like Publix and Winn-Dixie are close by, and the Florida Turnpike makes commuting simple. In about 40 minutes, you can reach Orlando, Orlando International Airport, Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando — giving you the perfect blend of small-town charm and big-city access. You’ll also love exploring the nearby waterfront towns of Mount Dora, Tavares, and Leesburg, known for their festivals, dining, and year-round events. This home offers more than just a place to live — it offers a lifestyle. Come experience the warmth, charm, and possibilities waiting for you in the heart of Central Florida.
