BEAUTIFUL 3 BEDROOM 2 & ½ BATH HOME ON LUSH HALF-ACRE LOT IN DESIRABLE CHESTERHILL ESTATES. Welcome home to this tranquil haven, a peaceful, well-established pocket neighborhood nestled onto beautiful land less than 2 miles from charming, historic downtown Mount Dora. An easy car or pleasant bicycle ride from your front door will bring you to the shores of Lake Dora and Gilbert Park. The fun playground and picnic pavilions make it the perfect spot to spend an afternoon. Across the street is the infamous charming lighthouse and the public boat launch on the Harris Chain of Lakes. Spend an adventurous day on the water or relax at a cafe after some fun shopping in the unique shops downtown. Retreat home to your idyllic property, where the lush lawn is dotted with mature shade trees and flowering shrubs, which perfectly frame the home’s attractive facade. The roof was replaced in July 2022 – a significant benefit! This fabulous home offers front and back gutters, an oversized 2-car garage, and exterior landscape lighting. The wrought-iron gated entry welcomes you to the front courtyard area graced with lovely Saltillo tile floors. This charming area is perfect for visiting with neighbors or greeting them while they’re out for their daily stroll. Inside, the Saltillo tile floors flow throughout the entire home, continuing to the Florida room, evoking a warm and elegant feel. A spacious living and dining area is the perfect entertaining space. Gather around the stunning stacked stone wood-burning fireplace with a 150-year-old West Virginia wood beam mantle. No worries if you desire a gas fireplace instead; when installed, the owners had it equipped to convert to propane easily. An adjacent French door provides views and access to the private, park-like backyard, a cozy deck, a charming dry creek bed, and a paved walkway leading to the paver-surround firepit. The spacious kitchen and adjoining family room area are ideal for visiting with family or guests while preparing drinks or meals. Well-appointed, the kitchen offers Amish-built solid wood cabinetry with lots of drawers, storage, and pull-outs. The center cook-top island provides additional prep space, and the stainless appliances include a French-door refrigerator, dishwasher, and built-in oven and microwave. The dinette consists of a wall of built-ins. At the same time, the adjacent family room has a large slider opening onto the stunning screen-enclosed Florida room/lanai, with vaulted, wood-beam ceilings, expansive backyard views, and ceiling fans to cool you on warm afternoons. The owner’s suite is spacious; it has views of the backyard and features a walk-in closet and an elegantly updated en-suite with a dual granite sink vanity and a tiled walk-in shower. Two guest bedrooms share a full hall bathroom, plus a full laundry room with a half bath. Storage is not an issue with numerous closets that line the main hallway, including a coat and linen closet. This home has it all! And a special bonus - enjoy a Mount Dora address with Orange County taxes! What a wonderful place to call home.
