A versatile bonus room off the kitchen with custom built-ins and a built-in desk is perfect for a home office, library, or sitting room, with French doors opening to the screened back porch.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms share a full bathroom with tub and shower. The primary suite offers two closets and French doors that open to a beautifully restored balcony—an idyllic perch for enjoying sunsets, seasonal fireworks or watching seaplanes over Lake Dora.
The detached two-car garage features a fully finished living space on the lower level and a private-entry apartment upstairs complete with a full bath—perfect for generating rental income through short- or long-term tenants, while also offering flexibility for guest accommodations or a home office.
