Discover an extraordinary waterfront estate where timeless craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and the Harris Chain of Lakes lifestyle come together. Privately positioned behind security gates on just over 2 acres along the east shore of Lake Carlton, this custom Mount Dora residence offers approximately 4,504 square feet of refined living space, direct boating access to the Harris Chain, a private dock, saltwater pool, spa, and an impressive four-car garage, with no HOA! Commercial-grade tilt-up concrete construction, complemented by commercial-grade in-wall insulation, provides a remarkable foundation for a home designed with quality, durability, and energy efficiency in mind. The enhanced insulation contributes to exceptional thermal performance, helping maintain comfortable interior temperatures while reducing the demands placed on the home’s heating and cooling systems—an especially valuable feature in Florida’s climate. Grand wrought-iron and glass entry doors open to a dramatic two-story foyer, where a sparkling crystal chandelier draws the eye toward the upper balcony. The elegant living area feels intimate while remaining connected to the open living spaces and captivating views of the lanai, pool, and lake. The heart of the home, the chef-inspired kitchen pairs beautiful custom cabinetry with generous granite countertops, premium Viking appliances, a stainless-steel farmhouse sink, a separate ice maker, and an oversized island with seating. Water and pool views create an unforgettable backdrop, while the adjoining wet bar makes entertaining effortless. Rich wood flooring, custom millwork, and carefully selected finishes bring warmth and character throughout. The floor plan features four spacious bedroom suites, including two primary suites, a private guest suite, and a complete in-law suite. Each presents an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closets. The first-floor primary suite overlooks the pool, lanai, and lake and includes an exceptional walk-in closet and luxurious bath. Upstairs, the second primary suite enjoys beautiful balcony views and a distinctive copper soaking tub. A dedicated office with a balcony and water views provides an inspiring setting for working from home. Designed for year-round outdoor living, the expansive lanai features a full outdoor kitchen, fireplace, and pool bath. Beyond the saltwater pool and spa, enjoy a putting green, fire pit, and peaceful lakefront setting. Multiple citrus trees, including a lime tree, blood orange tree, and other citrus varieties, enhance the grounds and present the simple pleasure of enjoying fresh seasonal fruit from your own property. Smart-home conveniences include Wi-Fi-enabled controls for the three HVAC systems, four garage doors, pool pump, spa, and lighting. Additional features include a whole-house generator, an integrated music system, a central vacuum, CAT5 pre-wiring, a whole-home water treatment system, and abundant storage. Near the natural beauty and recreation of Trimble Park, which features a public boat launch, playgrounds, camping, trails, and picnic areas, this exceptional property offers a peaceful, private setting just minutes from historic downtown Mount Dora. More than a luxury home, this private lakefront retreat brings together exceptional construction, energy-conscious design, resort-style amenities, and the Harris Chain of Lakes lifestyle in one remarkable property.
