Property Description

Sunrise views across Lake Dorr set the scene for this custom Craftsman-style waterfront home in Central Florida. The pristine 1,765-acre lake offers fishing, water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, and jet skiing, with the Ocala National Forest surrounding part of the lake. Historic DeLand and charming Mount Dora are approximately a half-hour drive away, and three major international airports are within an hour. Double mahogany entry doors introduce an interior rich in custom details, including hardwood floors, tray ceilings accented with wood trim, built-in shelving, plantation shutters, and crown molding. The spacious kitchen combines granite countertops and solid wood cabinetry with a Thermador range and gas cooktop. Bay windows in the breakfast nook frame lake views, while the open family room features a gas fireplace. A covered, screened porch upstairs provides a quiet place to unwind. Outdoor gatherings are well accommodated by a second spacious screened porch on the lower level, complete with an outdoor kitchen, gourmet grill, and built-in refrigerator. A fire pit and an open, covered dock add more places to enjoy the waterfront setting. The versatile layout provides room for multigenerational living and overnight guests. Three bedrooms, a full-size kitchen, and a living area occupy the lower level. The main level includes the primary suite and an office that can serve as an additional bedroom. Upstairs, a large bonus room offers options for another bedroom or a home theater. Solar panels support lower electric bills, and a Generac 20-kilowatt home generator supplies backup power. Four 120-gallon LP gas tanks, a water treatment system, and a stair chair lift round out the home's features.
