About this home
723 N ROCKINGHAM AVENUE
CHARM, CHARACTER & AN INCREDIBLE BACKYARD—just minutes from the heart of Downtown Tavares! If you’ve been searching for a home that feels anything but cookie-cutter, this one is full of personality. Situated on approximately 1/3 acre with a completely fenced backyard, this property offers an amazing amount of outdoor space for entertaining, gardening, pets, play, or simply enjoying the Florida sunshine. Imagine weekend cookouts, evenings around a firepit, games on the lawn, or creating your own backyard oasis—there’s plenty of room to make it your own! A detached garage plus an additional detached storage shed provide even more flexibility for hobbies, projects, toys and storage. Inside, you’ll find the warmth and character that’s hard to recreate in newer construction. Original hardwood floors flow through much of the home, abundant windows fill the rooms with natural light, and a REAL WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE creates a cozy focal point for the living space. The recently remodeled guest bathroom is especially charming, featuring beautiful Spanish-inspired tile, a new vanity, sink and mirror, plus a sweet built-in nook with light wood shelving. The primary bedroom also enjoys the convenience of its own adjoining bathroom with a lovely walk-in shower. Outside, the U-shaped drive-through driveway makes coming and going a breeze while providing plenty of room for parking. But what may truly make you fall in love is the LOCATION. You’re just minutes from Historic Downtown Tavares and the Lake Dora waterfront, where you can enjoy locally owned restaurants, craft cocktails, rooftop and waterfront dining, live entertainment and the charm of Florida’s “Seaplane City.” Head to Wooton Park for the playground and splash pad, spend an afternoon along Lake Dora, or hop in the golf cart and head downtown for dinner and drinks. With nearby schools, parks, shopping and dining, everyday conveniences are close at hand. This is more than a house—it’s a home with character, outdoor space and a location that lets you enjoy the laid-back Central Florida lifestyle right outside your door.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
