Property Description


0.24 Acres Lot
Built in 1938
Sold
1 Units

Welcome to 815 E 11th Avenue, a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath cottage nestled in the heart of Mount Dora. Set on a spacious 0.241-acre lot, this inviting home offers 796 square feet under air and 944 square feet under roof, including a screened back porch perfect for relaxing year-round. With a covered carport and a proven track record as both a part-time residence and successful short-term rental, this property offers comfort, character, and income-generating potential. One of the standout features of this property is the ability to build an additional 600 square feet in the backyard, up to two stories high. Whether you envision a detached guest suite, creative studio, or additional rental space, this unique opportunity adds significant long-term value and flexibility. Just a quick golf cart ride brings you to historic downtown Mount Dora, where boutique shops, art galleries, and celebrated dining spots like Goblin Market, The Wave, 1921, and Magical Meat Boutique line the streets. The Lakeside Inn, dating back to 1883, still welcomes visitors and is rumored to have once hosted Al Capone. In its earliest days, Mount Dora was only accessible by ferry across the lake—a fascinating piece of local history that adds to the town’s enduring charm. Lake Dora, part of the renowned Harris Chain of Lakes, is only minutes away. Whether you're casting a line or cruising through the breathtaking Dora Canal—famously featured in a classic film starring Katharine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart—you’ll find this waterway as scenic as it is historic. The public boat ramp and nearby marina with available slip rentals make it easy to get on the water. Nearby, Gilbert Park and Donnelly Park has green spaces, playgrounds, and shaded walking trails. Just down the road, the vibrant lakefront community of Tavares—known as the Seaplane Capital of the World—offers even more to explore. Enjoy sandy lakefront parks, beach bars, casual dining, and seasonal attractions like the historic Cannonball Dinner Train, all within a short drive. Whether you're looking for a full-time home, a weekend retreat, or a smart investment with room to expand, 815 E 11th Avenue delivers timeless appeal, unbeatable location, and an authentic slice of Mount Dora’s lakeside lifestyle.
