Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Mount Dora
Listing Price: $400,000 (Mortgage Calculator →)
Description of Property
J.G. Ray–built beauty on a generous oak-canopied corner lot directly across from Lake Gertrude Park—about 1.2 miles to historic Downtown Mount Dora (a quick bike or ~5-minute drive) and steps to the paved Lake Gertrude walking loop. A magnificent heritage live oak draped in Spanish moss shades the front lawn and sets a postcard scene from the porch—its low, sturdy limb is swing-ready. Wide windows frame park greenery and bathe the home in natural light. The easy, open flow includes welcoming Living & Dining Rooms, a cozy sunroom, and a spacious 30’ Florida Room that lives large for everyday lounging, game nights, or indoor–outdoor entertaining. Glass doors open to the patio and lovingly tended gardens. Period details add warmth and character—built-in bookcases, a fireplace with marble hearth, classic tile floors, and rich wood kitchen cabinetry with a timeless, vintage feel. Storage is a standout: large closets uncommon for 1950s homes keep everything neatly tucked away. Adjoining the attached garage you’ll find a handy workroom plus a cheerful laundry room; a convenient half bath services the patio and backyard. Major systems add confidence with a 2018 water heater and 2022 HVAC. Function meets flexibility in this 1950 charmer offering 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Keep the mid-century personality or re-imagine with your own updates while capitalizing on the location, light, and storybook oak-and-moss backdrop. Priced right for a quick sale and offered AS IS. The roof will need replacement, and the plumbing is the original galvanized steel—reported to be in great condition. While we prep for new professional photography, we’re featuring select prior-listing photos with permission. If you’ve been waiting for a classic Lake Gertrude Park address with authentic craftsmanship, beautiful natural light, and a signature live-oak canopy with a swing-ready limb, this is the one.
