Thoughtfully maintained and updated, this single-story home invites you in with neutral paint, durable ceramic tile and vinyl flooring throughout (no carpet) and an open floor plan featuring formal living and dining areas, a family room and elegant crown molding in the main living spaces. The foyer welcomes guests, with the formal living room to the right flowing into the formal dining room overlooking the oversized covered patio, screened pool and large fenced lot — ideal for outdoor living and entertaining year-round. The well-appointed kitchen is centrally located and bathed in natural light from a skylight, and features painted wood cabinets with hardware, quartz counters, stylish tile backsplash, new stainless Samsung appliances, pendant lighting over the breakfast nook and a window over the sink with views to the pool and patio. Adjacent family room has canned lighting and glass sliders to the covered patio and pool area, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor flow for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. The owner’s suite off the dining area boasts an en-suite bathroom with a single stone top vanity, walk-in tiled shower and a private door to the pool/patio, plus a generous walk-in closet with built-ins and dimmer-controlled lighting. Guest bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the home for privacy, each with ceramic tile floors, ceiling fans and easy access to the guest bathroom with stone counters, a vessel sink and tub/shower combination with natural light.

The community’s private dock on Lake Dora offers seasonal lake access for boating, fishing and water recreation, while the coveted Lake Dora Pines location places you minutes from parks, walking trails and the vibrant historic district, with easy access to local favorites like The Goblin Market Restaurant & Lounge, Pisces Rising, and 1921 Mount Dora, as well as casual spots like The Yardery, The Frog and Monkey Restaurant & Pub and Fifth Avenue Streatery for brunch or evening drinks.
