About this home

Perched high on a 1/2-acre bluff in the Historic District of Mount Dora is this stately 1925 gem. Overlooking Lake Dora, the house was fully renovated in 2011; but maintains its original character and charm. The Owners added an oversized garage (with 1/2 bath), a breezeway to the house, a large Trex deck/porch, a metal & shingle roof, a 2nd staircase, all new windows, etc.. The extra garage space could be used for a workshop, Art Studio or a golf cart space. The baths and kitchen were also updated and the kitchen has stainless steel Appliances (2018), stone countertops, subway tile, soft close wood cabinets and updated flooring. When you enter the front door you are greeted with an oversized living room, an original stone/wood burning fireplace and a beautiful pine staircase. A large dining room provides a great place to gather with family & friends. A 4th Master bedroom downstairs was converted into a long office/den (but has several options). Adjacent to the office is a screened Florida room with new sunshades (2024) to enjoy peaceful mornings and cool nights. A second back staircase was added for convenience off the kitchen to the second floor which has original wood floors, 3 bedrooms, a full bath, a sitting room/library, a sleeping porch (or dressing room) and a balcony for amazing lake views. The basement has an indoor staircase and plenty of extra space for storage. Importantly, the home is on a huge corner lot on a dead-end street in a quiet part of town, with an easy stroll to downtown.
