About This Home

As of October 2025

Discover this treasure on the west side of Donnelly, near downtown Mount Dora. Lots of history and love went into creating this unique pool home, hidden in a very private setting. What started in 1948 as just a garage, the home evolved in the early 1990’s to be a unique custom-built primary home or a hide-a-way retreat second home or rental. What a find... and only a few blocks from downtown! The 2-story home with loft and a guest cottage has tree-top decking overlooking the gardens, with the pleasant sound of the fountain below. Your eye will be delighted by Custom-built cabinetry, shelving, wood floors, trim and ceilings & beams! Detailed craftsmanship & natural materials enhance the home's simple elegance. The unique floor plan offers a spacious primary suite with sky lights & special windows, plus a 3rd bedroom (or a den or office) and a laundry room on the ground level. From the bedroom, step out to the patio and gardens with a path to the pool and a short path winds to the 1/1 guest cottage - a welcoming retreat for family or friends. On the home's second floor, there is a well-planned eat-in kitchen and a cozy 2nd bedroom & bathroom. Living & Dining rooms with vaulted ceilings open to a spacious deck brushed by gentle breezes. High above the living room, a LOFT sparks the imagination - perhaps a studio for art, yoga or music! Throughout the home, natural light pours in through wide windows; picturesque views abound. Most recent updates were: Roofs were replaced in 2017, HVAC in 2019. Also in 2015 windows were replaced with energy-efficient double pane, a tankless hot water system was added, Central AC replaced, & new garage door. . Quartz countertops grace the laundry room and the kitchen. Kitchen features include: Subway tile back splash and stainless steel appliances along with a cozy nook for kitchen dining. The main dining room is surrounded by windows - wood pitched ceiling and a glass French door leading out to the deck. The 1/1 guest house (208sf) has tile floors, a mini-split AC system, a French door and a beautiful walk in shower that would make any guest want to stay. . Being just a few short blocks from downtown & Lake Dora, nearby are parks, lakeside walks and the many delights of historic downtown; walk to gallery openings, cafes and after-dinner concerts. You will love living in Mount Dora, known for its tree-lined streets and year around festivals on the shores of Lake Dora.
