Listing description
About this home
I am not your ordinary two-bedroom, two-bath Haven. Located in the Village of Waters Edge, I am just a short golf-cart ride from EASTPORT and MIDDLETON, and my owners have left virtually no detail untouched. My EXPANDED LOT made room for the backyard everyone wants: a PRIVATE POOL, OUTDOOR KITCHEN, GAS FIREPIT, dedicated dog area and extensive custom landscaping.
This is more than a backyard—it is a private Florida oasis designed for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying life outdoors. The pool has a HEATER AND CHILLER ! Yes, for those hot days when the water is too hot, cool it off!
MY owners have THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING My ENCLOSED LANAI adds another comfortable area to enjoy year-round, complete with TINTED WINDOWS, TILE FLOORING, FINISHED DRYWALL, AIR-CONDITIONING CONNECTION and a CUSTOM BUILT-IN BOOKCASE WITH LIGHTING. Inside, my CUSTOM FIREPLACE ACCENT WALL creates an impressive focal point in the living room. I also feature WHOLE-HOUSE PLANTATION SHUTTERS, additional window tinting, upgraded ceiling fans and a thoughtfully coordinated interior.
My kitchen shines with a BACKSPLASH EXTENDING TO THE CEILING, CUSTOM UPPER AND LOWER CABINET TRIM WITH LIGHTING, a SOLAR TUBE WITH NIGHT-LIGHT and CUSTOM SHIPLAP ACCENTS around the breakfast bar. Additional details include LAUNDRY-ROOM CABINETRY, CUSTOM CLOSET ORGANIZATION, an upgraded DOUBLE SLIDING GLASS SHOWER DOOR and a NOVA WHOLE-HOUSE WATER-FILTRATION SYSTEM. Even my practical features have been upgraded with a DEEPER ONE-CAR GARAGE, EPOXY GARAGE FLOOR, painted driveway and walkway, gutters, rerouted irrigation, RADIANT-BARRIER AND BLOWN-IN ATTIC INSULATION and multiple SOLAR ATTIC FANS.
If you thought owning a pool home in The Villages required a $600,000, $700,000 or even $800,000 budget, I am the home that changes the math. I have it all the POOL, OUTDOOR LIVING, EXPANDED LOT, CONVENIENT LOCATION AND EXTENSIVE UPGRADES without the typical pool-home price tag. All that is missing is you.

How it stacks up
Comparable recent sales
No closed sales of a similar home within about 10 miles in Sumter County in the last 18 months are in our MLS data set, so this page shows no comparable-sales median or automated estimate for WATER'S EDGE. A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a property-specific comparative market analysis on request.
The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
Insufficient local evidence for an automated estimate. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when at least 3 defensible sales exist within about 10 miles in Sumter County in the last 18 months. None qualify for this home, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Want a property-specific value review? A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a free comparative market analysis using the home, the lot, its condition, and the live market.
Methodology: the range would be 987 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 2, 2026.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 7253 Telfort Terrace and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 7253 Telfort Terrace was built in 2024 and has 987 sq ft of living area, 2 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 7253 Telfort Terrace in?
7253 Telfort Terrace is in Water'S Edge in The Villages, Sumter County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Does 7253 Telfort Terrace have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 7253 Telfort Terrace differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $4,988 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 7253 Telfort Terrace in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
Estimate methodology. Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
