Description of Property
Set along approximately 82 feet of shimmering Lake Dora shoreline, this exceptional Deer Island residence embodies the effortless elegance of lakefront living, where panoramic water views and everyday moments unfold at the water’s edge. From sunrise reflections to golden-hour sunsets, the lake becomes a constant backdrop to daily life—best enjoyed from expansive indoor living spaces and a thoughtfully designed outdoor retreat. Inside, stunning hardwood floors, crown molding and inspiring lake views warmly welcome you to luxurious lakeside living. The home is anchored by an impressive gourmet kitchen that seamlessly blends function and style, featuring a striking oversized island, quartzite surfaces, a copper farmhouse sink, and a premium KitchenAid gas range with double ovens and six burners. Bay windows in the breakfast nook frame tranquil pool and lake views, inviting relaxed mornings overlooking the water. The adjacent living area is defined by soaring ceilings and dramatic quadruple stackable sliders, effortlessly opening to the lanai and creating a fluid transition between indoors and out. The primary suite serves as a private sanctuary with direct lanai access, calming lake views, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath designed for everyday comfort. Beyond the primary retreat, the remaining bedrooms, including the upstairs suite, are thoughtfully designed with private or shared ensuite bath access, providing comfort and convenience for family and guests. A gorgeous dining room and dedicated office further enhance the home’s well-considered layout. Outdoor living elevates the home’s lakefront appeal with a screened lanai ideal for relaxed lakefront entertaining, featuring a heated pool, covered dining area, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen. Whether hosting casual gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings at home, the space is designed to embrace Florida’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Just beyond, a private boathouse with electric lift and wood dock opens the door to life on Lake Dora and the Harris Chain of Lakes—spend your days fishing, boating, or skiing, and your evenings enjoying seasonal firework displays from the dock or taking a short boat ride to downtown Mount Dora, known for its year-round festivals, charming restaurants, and boutique shops. Located on Deer Island, a natural 400-acre enclave surrounded by Lake Dora and Lake Beauclair, residents enjoy the prestige of a privately owned 18-hole championship golf course, recently recognized among America’s Top 50 Public Golf Courses and ranked #5 in Florida. Convenient proximity to Interstate 429 provides effortless travel to Orlando’s business and entertainment districts, as well as Florida’s east coast beaches. This is more than a home—it’s an invitation to embrace a coveted lakefront lifestyle in one of Central Florida’s most distinguished island communities.
