Discover this treasure on west 10th, near downtown Mount Dora. Lots of history and love went into creating this unique pool home, hidden in a very private setting. What started in 1948 as just a garage, evolved over the years to be a hide-a-way retreat. What a find... and only a few blocks from downtown! The 2 story home with a guest cottage has tree top decking overlooking the gardens, with the pleasant sound of the fountain below. Your eye will be delighted by Custom-built cabinetry, shelving, wood floors, trim and ceilings & beams! Detailed craftsmanship & natural materials enhance the home's simple elegance. The unique floor plan offers a spacious primary suite with sky lights & special windows, plus a well-appointed study/den/guest room on the ground level. From the bedroom, step out to the patio and gardens with a path to the pool and a short path winds to the 1/1 guest cottage - a welcoming retreat for family or friends. The main house has 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths, plus a den & laundry room. On the home's second floor, there is a well-planned eat-in kitchen and a cozy 2nd bedroom & bathroom. Living & Dining rooms with vaulted ceilings open to a spacious deck brushed by gentle breezes. High above the living room, a loft sparks the imagination - perhaps a studio for art, yoga or music! Throughout the home, natural light pours in through wide windows; picturesque views abound. Most recent updates were: Roofs were replaced in 2017, HVAC in 2019. Also in 2015 windows were replaced with energy-efficient double pane, a tankless hot water system was added, Central AC replaced, & new garage door. . Quartz countertops grace the laundry room and the kitchen. Kitchen features include: Subway tile back splash and stainless steel appliances along with a cozy nook for kitchen dining. The main dining room is surrounded by windows - wood pitched ceiling and a glass French door leading out to the deck. The 1/1 guest house has tile floors, a mini-split AC system, a French door and a beautiful walk in shower that would make any guest want to stay. . Being just a few short blocks from downtown & Lake Dora, nearby are parks, lakeside walks and the many delights of historic downtown; walk to gallery openings, cafes and after-dinner concerts. You will love living in Mount Dora, known for its tree-lined streets and year around festivals on the shores of Lake Dora.
