MOUNT DORA, FL 32757

Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees, where the road gently rolls—yes, real hills in Central Florida—407 Forest Road captures the rhythm of life in Mount Dora, a storybook lakefront town known for its charming streets, vibrant arts scene, and year-round festivals that bring neighbors together like family reunions. Here, you’re perfectly positioned between two worlds of water. A short stroll leads you to the peaceful shoreline of Lake Gertrude—a serene, non-motorized lake ideal for kayaking at sunrise, paddleboarding at dusk, or quiet evening walks beneath oak-lined paths. Around the corner awaits the adventure of the Harris Chain of Lakes, offering boating, waterfront dining, and access to over 30 public boat ramps, including beloved Gilbert Park.

Nestled on over a quarter of an acre this renovated three-bedroom, two-bath residence offers adaptability, featuring a BONUS room with its OWN PRIVATE ENTRANCE and double glass French doors—ideal for a home office, in-law suite, or guest retreat. The inviting front porch overlooks the circular driveway and gently rolling roadway, a rare Florida setting. Inside, luxury laminate flooring flows throughout, complemented by modern recessed lighting and energy-efficient remote-controlled ceiling fans in every bedroom, the bonus room, and main living areas. A classic whole-house ventilation fan provides an energy-saving cooling option. The formal living area is anchored by a stone wood-burning fireplace, with a barn door leading to the bedroom wing. The updated kitchen showcases brand-new stainless steel Samsung appliances, quartz countertops, and a generous quartz island with ample seating. Soft-close engineered wood cabinetry and floating luxury shelves enhance both style and function. An expansive sliding pass-through window above the sink frames pool views and opens to the covered patio for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. While the dining area features a unique window seating nook adding a touch of charm and tranquility, an inviting space to relax and simply enjoy the views of the natural light. The primary suite features a spa-inspired bathroom with black-framed sliding glass shower doors, matte black fixtures, warm wood-look tile in the oversized walk-in shower, glossy tile flooring, and ample closet space. The shower opens to a private outdoor wood deck perfect for sunbathing and relaxation, while double French doors lead to the covered patio and pool.
