Property Description

Tucked away in the charming town of Howey-in-the-Hills, this stunning former model home is where elegance, comfort, and the Florida lifestyle come together beautifully. From the moment you arrive, the brand-new glass in the front door, sets the tone for the style and care found throughout this exceptional home.
Step inside to discover a spacious open floor plan designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The gourmet kitchen sits at the heart of the home, perfectly positioned to overlook the main living areas so you’re always part of the conversation. With 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, spaced through the home for privacy, there’s room for everyone. New flooring in the bedrooms adds a fresh, modern touch.
The upgrades continue where it counts. The leased solar system is designed to provide electricity at a lower monthly cost than purchasing power directly from the utility, helping you save as energy rates continue to rise. Say goodbye to unpredictable utility bills. The garage features sleek epoxy flooring and built-in storage, while foam insulation in the attic helps maintain cooler temperatures and energy efficiency year-round. Enjoy peace of mind with a security system, home sound system, and a termite bond recently renewed with Massey (February 2026).
But the real magic happens out back.
Step through the enclosed, screened lanai and into your private backyard oasis. With no rear neighbors, a fenced yard, beautiful bamboo trees, and other well-kept landscaping, creating a serene tropical backdrop, this outdoor space is designed for relaxation and fun. Enjoy sunny Florida days in the swim spa/pool, or host unforgettable gatherings on the expansive patio—complete with a gas line already in place for a fire pit.
Living in Howey-in-the-Hills means enjoying small-town charm with big-city convenience. This scenic community is known for its lakes, golf courses, and peaceful atmosphere, while still being just minutes to Clermont, Mount Dora, Tavares and Leesburg. You’ll find shopping, dining, hospitals, and top-rated schools nearby, you're only 6 minutes from the turnpike entrance, and you’re only about 35–40 minutes from Orlando, world-famous attractions, and Orlando International Airport.
Whether you're relaxing in your backyard retreat, entertaining friends, or exploring Central Florida, this home delivers the lifestyle people dream about.
203 Messina Place isn’t just a home — it’s your piece of paradise.
