BEAUTIFUL 3 BR HISTORIC CHARMER WITH 2-CAR GARAGE AND WORKSHOP IN DOWNTOWN MT. DORA. Rich in history and brimming with charm, downtown Mt. Dora has long since been likened to a New England Seaside village. This lakeside town is known for its antiques, art galleries, fine dining, whimsical retail shops, full-service marina, famed art festivals, and amazing Christmas lights display. Enjoy all the downtown offers and then retreat a mere 5 blocks to this quintessential 1914 Florida Cracker home with a floor plan designed to capture and circulate refreshing breezes throughout the property. Don't worry, when refreshing breezes are not to be found, the 2 central A/C systems installed in 2016/2018 will keep you cool. Enjoy the cozy pitter-patter of rain playing on the new gorgeous metal roof installed in 2020. The metal roof, along with the front porch, scalloped siding details, casement windows, and sleeping porches, are but a few of the elements that make this home truly special. It is situated on a quiet street graced with mature trees and other period homes in the desirable designated historic district. The corner lot allows the 2-car garage to feel tucked away around the side, but it offers a convenient single door that leads to the rear entry of the house. The front entrance is beautiful with a vine-covered arbor and brick path leading to the inviting front porch, a perfect spot for relaxing or visiting with neighbors. A charming Dutch front door allows you to open the top half for circulation, and you can also open the doors to the rear porch and kitchen for a glorious cross breeze. Original hardwood floors flow throughout most rooms, and while some windows have been updated, many of the original casement windows are still to be enjoyed! The spacious front living room is adorned with a wood-burning fireplace, two access doors to a private side porch, and a sitting area with windows on three sides with a window seat, creating a cheery sunroom atmosphere. There's a sunny den with a lovely Bay window, another window seat, and a built-in floor to ceiling shelving ideal as a reading room or a dining room. Beyond is a convenient area that could be utilized as a mud-room space or butler's pantry as you're leaving or entering the door to the rear porch. The spacious kitchen has been updated with newer wood floors, wood cabinetry, a huge granite island, stainless refrigerator, 2 wall ovens, a dishwasher, and a wine fridge. An adjoining room can be utilized as a home office or dining room and currently equipped with a laundry closet. Upstairs is the master suite, which connects to a charming screened enclosed sleeping porch and large bath. The two guest BRs (one with an en-suite) also share a secondary screened enclosed sleeping porch. Enjoy the private, fenced back yard with screened porch, brick pathways to a pergola, potting shed area, 2-car garage, and attached shed/workshop, perfect as a man-cave or she-shed. What a delightful place to turn into your dream home!
