About This Home

Welcome to your private retreat—free from HOA restrictions—where comfort, functionality, and outdoor living come together on a beautifully maintained 1-acre property. This charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was completely remodeled in 2018 and shines with quality craftsmanship both inside and out. Step outside and soak in the Florida lifestyle on the expansive screened-in porch, featuring a stunning tongue-and-groove ceiling, dual ceiling fans, and space to dine, relax, or entertain. Just beyond, enjoy summer days in the saltwater above-ground pool, newly installed in 2022, or unwind in the shade of mature trees. The fully fenced and gated yard includes a storage shed and an irrigation system covering both the front and back yards—making outdoor maintenance a breeze and the lush surroundings a year-round delight. Inside, the open-concept living space centers around a cozy gas fireplace and features rich wood flooring and crown molding throughout. The chef’s kitchen impresses with 42-inch custom cabinetry, a center island, granite countertops, pot filler, and a premium Verona gas range. The dining area is ideal for gatherings, with tasteful details that elevate everyday meals. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering a spacious walk-in closet, wood flooring, crown molding, and a cozy sitting area. Connected to a private office—with its own entrance—this layout is perfect for working from home or welcoming guests. The ensuite bath boasts a dual-sink vanity and a large walk-in shower with dual showerheads for a spa-like experience. Two additional bedrooms, a well-appointed guest bath, and a dedicated laundry room round out this move-in-ready home. Located with no HOA restrictions, you’ll appreciate the peace and privacy of large neighboring lots while still being minutes from Lake Dora, State Road 441, and Interstate 429—providing easy access to Orlando, the attractions, and even the east coast beaches. Don't miss the chance to enjoy this beautifully upgraded home with exceptional outdoor living—schedule your private tour today!
