This beautiful 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home in Mount Dora is perfect for those seeking versatility, privacy, and a prime location. The property also features an additional 1-bedroom in-law studio with a private entrance, offering endless possibilities as a rental, guest suite, game room, or home office. Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac, this home is only a mile from downtown Mount Dora, making it easy to enjoy the charming shops, restaurants, and cultural events the area has to offer. Step outside to a spacious, wooded backyard with minimal views of neighbors, providing a sense of tranquility and seclusion. A beautiful wooden deck with a one-of-a-kind pergola overlooks the yard, where you’ll also find multiple fruit trees including fig, cherry, and papaya, along with herbs to complete the garden. A detached workshop provides ample space for projects or storage, and an extra-long driveway ensures plenty of parking for guests. The home boasts all new interior paint as well as a new roof installed in 2022 and a tankless hot water heater added in 2023. Both plumbing and electrical systems have been updated with CPVC and modern electrical work, respectively, ensuring the home is move-in ready. Appliances, including a fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, and dryer, are also included. To top it off, a 4-Point and Wind Mitigation Report, completed in 2024, adds extra security for your investment. Outdoor recreation is just steps away, with Forres Playground and Recreation and Nature Park located nearby, offering a bike trail, frisbee golf, and even a small boat ramp for Little Lake Franklin. The retired orange grove, owned by the city, serves as a wonderful open space for dogs to run freely, with no future development planned. The home is also conveniently located just two blocks from the local baseball fields, community pool, tennis courts, racquetball courts, and a dog park. Cultural gems like the Ice House Theater are within walking distance, while Renningers Antique Mall is just a mile away. Essential shopping, including Publix, Lowes, and Walgreens, is located within two miles of the home, making everyday errands a breeze. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy a home that combines modern upgrades, outdoor living, and easy access to Mount Dora’s best amenities. Some photos are virtually staged.
