Built in 1957, this distinctive mid-century waterfront property offers 201 feet of canal frontage on the first canal off Lake Eustis, providing quick access to the lake and the Harris Chain of Lakes. Situated in a private setting, the property features a main residence, a substantial second building with private guest accommodations, an oversized screened swimming pool, and extensive boating facilities. The main residence retains much of its original mid-century character while incorporating significant modern improvements. The beautifully renovated kitchen (2020) features a contemporary design that complements the home's architectural style, while the main bathroom was also remodeled in 2020. Original Tennessee pink terrazzo flooring was professionally refurbished in 2019.

Both buildings feature on-demand water heaters. The second building, offering over 1,200 square feet, adds exceptional versatility to the property. It includes a private studio apartment, renovated in 2020–2021, that has been successfully operated as a short-term rental with excellent guest reviews. The apartment features its own private patio and barbecue area, providing comfortable accommodations for visiting family, friends, or rental guests while maintaining privacy for the main residence. Beyond the apartment, the building offers an expansive lodge-style entertainment area featuring a large brick fireplace, original mid-century built-ins, vintage green linoleum flooring, new carpeting, and additional kitchenette areas.
