About This Home

As of April 2025

A Lake Gertrude architectural masterpiece positioned on a beautiful 1-acre lot with 115 feet of lake frontage, complete with a dock and a pool. Artfully constructed in the 80’s, this masterfully crafted California Contemporary home boasts exceptional design and intriguing details. The sweeping front lawn opens to a circular driveway leading to a stone-crafted entrance with a flagstone patio and double wooden doors flanked by concave glass panels. These open into an impressive, curved foyer with soaring 16-foot ceilings, highlighted by a stone water feature and a 16-foot-high double-sided stone fireplace separating a spacious living room and family room. The living room features 7-foot double casement windows offering unobstructed views of the lake, while the family room has sliding doors leading to a vast screened pool and patio area. The high ceilings continue throughout the lower open living space, separated by 9-foot partition walls. Yet, the design allows for ample light due to clerestory windows along the top of the 16-foot exterior walls. The master suite is 800 square feet and includes a large bedroom, two bathrooms, and two spacious walk-in closets. Above the master suite is an open loft, accessible via a staircase from the living room, measuring 437 square feet and offering panoramic views of the lower living spaces. The outdoor patio features a beautiful pool with a hot tub and fountain. The two guest bedrooms boast spacious walk-in closets and share a Jack and Jill bathroom. Each bedroom features doors that open to screened patios. A very spacious laundry room offers ample storage and workspace, connecting to a workshop/hobby room accessible also through the side-entry garage. 2405 Morningside Drive isn't just a home—it's a lifestyle, an embodiment of lakefront living on Mount Dora’s most coveted lake. Seize the opportunity to unleash your creativity and turn this property into the home you’ve always dreamed of.
