EXQUISITE MEDITERRANEAN LAKEFRONT ESTATE WITH 3-CAR GARAGE, BONUS ROOMS, POOL, AND PRIVATE BOAT DOCK LOCATED WITHIN SOUGHT-AFTER GATED LOCH LEVEN COMMUNITY. This premiere community offers a private boat ramp, a fishing pier on Lake Loch Leven, tennis courts, and a playground. It is close to the historic downtown area of Mount Dora, where you will find antique shops, art galleries, eclectic boutiques, fine dining, a full-service marina, and renowned art festivals. The 429-toll roads are close; it is an easy drive to Lake Mary, Sanford, Orlando Airport, popular theme parks, and beaches. Arrive home to this idyllic setting and be captivated by the peace and beauty found both inside and out. The curb appeal is nothing short of impressive, with pristine, mature landscape plantings and graceful palm trees accenting the fine details of this home’s façade. The barrel tile roof is a classic Spanish-Mediterranean feature that pairs perfectly with the textured stucco walls, stone-accented windows, and ornate stone columns. A circular paver driveway provides abundant parking for your guests, and the side driveway accesses the oversized 3-car garage. A paver path invites you to the covered front entry with arched double doors inset with wrought iron. Palatial elegance awaits as you step inside, from the 11 FT tray ceilings, breathtaking chandeliers, arched openings, regal columns, and art niches. From the foyer, pool and lake views are your breathtaking backdrop as you look through formal dining and living rooms and out to the backyard. The formal dining room is adjacent to the stunning living room with a sweeping staircase to one side, designed with an intricately wrought iron staircase railing leading to the second-story overlook balcony. The well-appointed kitchen is open to a dining area and family room, both providing abundant entertaining space. Open the telescoping glass sliders to the pool and lakeview decks to bring the party outdoors. The kitchen offers custom wood cabinetry, gorgeous granite countertops, high-end appliances, an expansive island, a breakfast bar, and a large pantry. The bonus room is currently being used for Billiards. It’s ideal for a game, media, library, or man cave room. It provides lake views and access. It also has an interior room large enough for a yoga retreat or to house fitness equipment. Downstairs are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a private en-suite ideal for guests. The entire upstairs is a private owner’s retreat. The bedroom has beautiful pool/lake views, access to a private outdoor balcony, a separate private room for a nursery, study, or TV lounge (with wet bar and space for a wine frig), and a lovely spa-like bath with dual sinks, jetted 2-person tub, tiled shower, and custom walk-in closet. A private home office with a closet (plumbed for a bathroom) is also found upstairs. The under-staircase closet, laundry room, and 3-car garage are just some of the many storage areas found here. The backyard is a tropical oasis with covered lanai areas, a summer kitchen, a lagoon-style pool, mature bamboo, palm trees, and fruit trees such as banana, avocado, guava, lemon, peach, and pomegranate. The lake water sparkles in the sun and beckons you down to the shore, where you will find your private covered boat dock with an electric hoist. Drop a kayak or paddleboard in or cruise around in your boat on beautiful Lake Loch Leven. This is truly paradise found!
