900 Citrus Ave
PRICE IMPROVEMENT to $799,999 plus a $15,000 seller credit at closing with a full-price offer—and a home warranty up to $800. This is the rare Howey-in-the-Hills opportunity buyers have been waiting for. Directly across from the historic Howey Mansion—a restored 1925 Mediterranean Revival landmark on the National Register of Historic Places—this custom all-brick ranch sits on one of the most recognizable streetscapes in Lake County. Mission Inn Resort and El Campeón Golf Club are just a short drive from the front yard. The home itself carries real provenance: it was previously owned by members of the Beucher family, longtime owners and developers of world-renowned Mission Inn Resort & Club. Inside, 3,212 square feet of gracious living includes 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, two master suites, a split floor plan, crown molding, and a completely renovated kitchen with high-end custom finishes. Outside is resort living on a landscaped 0.76-acre lot: a sparkling in-ground pool with lighting, an expansive covered lanai (approx. 34' x 14'), mature oaks and tropical landscaping, landscape lighting throughout, and a private well that runs the full irrigation system (city water serves the home). A walk-out basement workshop/storm shelter—rare in Florida—adds storage and workspace you almost never find here. Easy access to the Harris Chain of Lakes and community boat ramp. Distinctive. Historic. Incentive-rich. Don’t miss it.
