Historic 3BR/2BA Lakefront Retreat with 120 Feet of Waterfront - Discover the charm of Southern living in this rare historic residence perched above the shimmering waters of Lake Harris in the peaceful lakeside enclave of Yalaha. Set along Lakeshore Drive, where homes seldom become available, this 4-bedroom treasure embodies the romance of 1920s Old Florida with sun-filled interiors, vintage wood floors, stately columns, and a classic brick fireplace. Begin each morning with golden lakefront sunrises from the expansive screened Florida room, and spend your days on the water—kayaking, boating, or simply relaxing from your private dock. As evening falls, savor sweeping sunset views from the generous wraparound porch, where warm breezes drift across your 120 feet of pristine shoreline. The custom kitchen blends craftsmanship and comfort with handcrafted cabinetry, a cozy eat-in nook, and an adjoining mudroom. Formal living and dining spaces embody timeless sophistication, perfect for intimate gatherings or showcasing a grand piano. Ideally located minutes from the beloved Yalaha German Bakery & Beer Garden, the spa and golf amenities of Mission Inn Resort, and the charming towns of Mount Dora, Tavares, and Eustis, this home offers a rare blend of history, elegance, and recreation. With no HOA, you’re free to bring your boat, RV, and all your toys. A truly exceptional lakefront offering—schedule your private showing today and experience the finest in classic Florida living.
