CHARMING AND WELL-MAINTAINED 3 BR HOME IN GATED LAKES OF MOUNT DORA. Welcome home to this highly sought-after active adult 55+ community situated on beautiful acreage in charming Mount Dora. This secure, gated community has everything you need, from its central location, convenient to every amenity, and approximately 45 minutes to MCO Airport, Disney, and local beaches to the peace and tranquility found along dedicated community natural trails or kayaking through the many interconnected canals. Meet up with friends for Bocce Ball, Pickleball, Softball, or a dip in the Olympic-sized pool. Enjoy the impressive 18,000 SF Clubhouse with huge meeting space, Billiards room, computer room, fitness center, and more! After your fun community activities or days spent in historic downtown Mount Dora, arrive home to your tranquil abode. Lovely curb appeal welcomes you home with a lush lawn, mature trees, and tidy landscaping perfectly framing the home's attractive façade with stacked stone accents, a gabled roof, and a covered front entry. A spacious driveway and 2-car garage provide plenty of parking for family and friends. A paved walkway leads to the leaded-glass front door, and inside, you will find a light-filled and welcoming interior with large windows and a pleasing neutral color palette throughout. The combined living and dining room space is open and offers crown molding, large windows, and a large glass slider to the rear screened patio with park-like views of the backyard and community pond. Adjacent to the dining room is the well-appointed kitchen with wood cabinetry, Corian counters, matching appliances, a natural gas range, a closet pantry, a dining space, and a breakfast bar. A doorway leads from the kitchen to the inside laundry room and then out to the garage. The inviting owner's suite has a vaulted ceiling, a wonderful walk-in closet, a private en-suite with Corian counters, dual sinks, a deep soaking tub, and a tiled shower. The best part is that a large glass slider in the owner's suite gives access to the rear patio. Slide open the door for cool Spring and Fall breezes or to enjoy the birdsong melodies while sipping your morning coffee. Two spacious guest bedrooms have immediate access to the full-hall bathroom with a tub/shower. There's plenty of space here to host family and friend gatherings but a small enough footprint for daily chores. Unwind at the end of the day on your tranquil back patio, soaking in the pond views. When you must leave this idyllic setting, know that an abundance of restaurants and retail shopping are a mere stone's throw away. What a perfect home in a friendly, picturesque, beautiful neighborhood.
