Welcome to your peaceful retreat in the charming and well-established Dora Manor community - where Old Florida charm meets modern-day potential. Nestled beneath majestic oak trees draped in Spanish moss, this neighborhood is just steps from the shimmering shores of Lake Dora. Take a leisurely stroll to the community dock to enjoy a breathtaking sunset or spend a quiet afternoon fishing in the lake’s tranquil waters. Set on an oversized .58-acre lot, this attractive 3-bedroom home offers solid bones and an abundance of potential. With a little TLC and some cosmetic updates, it could become your dream home in one of Mt. Dora’s most desirable locations—just minutes from historic downtown. Significant updates have already been made: a new roof (2023), new A/C (2024), and a new water heater (2018). A long, oversized driveway and 2-car garage ensure ample parking for guests. At the same time, the tropical front yard—complete with palm trees and avocado, mango, and lemon trees—sets a relaxed Florida vibe from the moment you arrive. Step through the screened front porch into a light-filled interior featuring a split-bedroom floor plan and multiple living spaces, perfect for today’s flexible lifestyles. Entertain with ease—whether it’s hosting family holidays or casual gatherings with friends. The front living room boasts large windows and built-in shelving, flowing seamlessly into a spacious dining area and then into a generously sized family room with panoramic windows, more built-ins, and access to the screened lanai and backyard. The kitchen is full of charm and functionality, with ample cabinet and counter space, a French-door refrigerator, a double-door pantry, a breakfast bar, and a cheerful bay window dinette—perfect for casual meals. The primary bedroom features wood-look laminate flooring, an abundance of natural light, a spacious closet, and convenient access to a full hall bathroom with a tub/shower. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are located on the opposite side of the home and share a second full bathroom. The 2-car garage includes a separate air-conditioned laundry room for added convenience. Out back, the spacious screened lanai is ideal for lounging or dining, and the fully fenced yard offers both privacy and space for pets, play, or gardening. There’s even a storage shed for your tools and outdoor gear. This property is a rare find—offering a peaceful setting, a generous lot, and an unbeatable location just 1.8 miles from historic downtown Mt. Dora, where you’ll find a full-service marina, quaint boutiques, cozy cafes, fine dining, art galleries, festivals, and so much more. With vision and a little effort, this home can become a true showstopper. See the potential—and fall in love with the charm, space, and lifestyle this Mt. Dora gem has to offer.
