E. CROOKED LAKE! Swim, fish, paddle board and ski on Central Florida’s premier spring fed lake with over 260 feet of Lake frontage and white sand beach. This distinctive waterfront home, appropriately named Southern Grace, was designed by the renowned architect Gamble Rogers. Rogers classic Antebellum design reflects the beauty and ambiance of pre-civil war mansions of the historic Deep South. Situated on 1 ½ acres and surrounded by 100-year-old oaks, colorful azaleas, and immaculate landscaping, this home will make you feel as though you have stepped back in time. A stately multi-columned front entrance and formal entryway lead into a luxurious three-level home with approximately 4,500 sq. ft. of living space. Extensive renovations throughout the home have perfectly blended the old and the new, with charm and elegance. As you walk through the formal entryway, you are led into the formal living area which yields an unobstructed view of the beautiful and captivating spring-fed and private East Crooked Lake. The property has its own white sandy beach with 265 feet of shoreline. The view of the lake is truly magnificent, one which delicately changes and evolves throughout the day. On the main level, you will find a cheerful sunroom with spectacular views, a masculine wood-paneled den with fireplace, a convenient ½ bath, and a formal living room with a gas/wood fireplace. The formal dining room features an exquisite antique Waterford crystal chandelier which was purchased long-ago by the original owners of the home and which has yet to be formally appraised. Adjacent to the dining room is a to-dream-for, double kitchen featuring custom cabinetry with indirect lighting, beveled granite countertops, two refrigerators, two dishwashers, two ovens, two sinks, a gas cook top, and an ice machine. An informal eating area adjacent to the kitchen opens to the spacious upper outdoor patio with stunning views of the lake...perfect for entertaining. The upper level features three bedrooms: the Master with a full en suite bathroom and a professionally-designed walk-in closet. The two additional bedrooms, each with their private bathrooms, have been decorated with striking custom drapes and bedspreads. The upstairs level also features a convenient laundry room. For the ultimate in entertaining options, the lower level features a cozy theater room, small café area, full bath, disco dance room, wine room, and bar which leads to the lower outdoor patio. If preferred, this level could serve as the ultimate family room, a man cave, or it could be modified to serve as an additional guest quarter (4th bedroom). Custom millwork and arches are featured throughout the home, as is handsome crown molding, oak flooring and Travertine tiles in the double kitchen. Amenities include a security system with cameras and viewing screens, extensive outdoor lighting, intercom, 2-car attached garage and ample parking for guests. Shopping, banking, healthcare and historic downtown Mt Dora are only minutes away. Southern Grace is indeed a classic and distinct one-of-a-kind home which reflects the loving and immaculate attention to detail it so rightly deserves. It is absolutely a must-see property.
