A hidden gem in Mount Dora! This spectacular home is ideally on the highest ridge in Mount Dora and within short distance of historic and charming downtown with shops, restaurants and more. Mount Dora is a small waterside town on the 77,000-plus-acre Harris Chain of Lakes offering great boating, fishing, events and festivals throughout the year. Upon arrival at this immaculate three-story home, you will notice the mature oak trees, white picket fence and private setting at end of the street. It has an inviting front porch with a bench swing that says, I’m home. Upon entering, the foyer welcomes your guests to the huge living room with separate office/den, or playroom, but your eyes will immediately be drawn to the beautiful enormous windows with the sunlight beaming in and the treetop views through the whole main floor. Hardwood floors, hickory wood doors and a stunning gas fireplace with marble accents for cozy gatherings with family and friends. Cathedral ceilings, an open floor plan, French doors and a large covered porch with volume tongue and groove wood ceiling, new epoxy flooring makes this home an entertainers dream and a lovely place to enjoy sunsets. The kitchen is spectacular and cheerful with lots of natural light and many amenities, including a large center island, a pass-through to the living room, numerous cabinets for storage, a pantry, high-end appliances, and a beautiful stained glass lighted accent piece designed and handmade by the architect. The main floor primary bedroom again features cathedral ceilings, French doors that open to a sunbathing porch connected to the covered porch. The private bath has double vanities, tub with separate oversized shower and linen closet. As you proceed upstairs to the second level, you find two large bedrooms each with full bath. The bedroom in the rear of the upstairs could be a great guest suite or a second primary bedroom with French doors opening to a Juliette balcony. Both bedrooms feature hardwood flooring, walk-in closets and have sitting room niches. Throughout the home you will find custom shutters and blinds, and a tankless water heater. Each floor has its own HVAC unit. As you proceed to the lower level of the home, you find a wonderful in-law apartment with all bells and whistles. An extra-large living/great room, private bedroom with walk-in closet and full bath, and a full-size kitchen with all appliances included, as well as great cabinet space. Lots of windows to let in the light, and French doors exiting to a spacious covered patio to enjoy your morning coffee or just enjoy the view of the beautiful manicured backyard, with private access from the French doors or through the oversized three-car garage. This downstairs area could be rented out or even used for an Airbnb, especially during events held in Mount Dora. It can also be locked off from the other two floors of the home when in use for safety. Garage is equipped with lots of cabinets and ample storage. This one is must-see. Now it’s time to make your own memories.
