This one-of-a-kind waterfront estate sits directly on Lake Beauclair in the heart of Central Florida’s famous Harris-Chain-of-Lakes. The 7,500 sqft Mediterranean-style chateau has everything on your list: A backyard oasis, a dock, boat lift & boat, multiple balconies, unique architectural details, a private 2bed, 1bath in-law/guest apartment with private entrance and spectacular water views.   This estate's elegant facade greets you at the end of a long private driveway with courtyards, patios and paver walkways throughout. Inside the front door, you’ll find vintage Saltillo tile floors, stucco walls, archways, custom millwork and pecky cypress trim, doors & ceilings. Views of the lake invite peace and reflection from almost every room! The living room is filled with natural light and offers a wet bar, a beautiful original brick fireplace & a separate library/den. Just steps away, you can dine & entertain on the huge paver patio surrounding the screened-in pool with sunset lake views. In fact, you can even watch the sunset over the lake while relaxing in the hot tub. Beyond the enclosure, there’s plenty of yard space for family activities, and you also have a boathouse, lift, and private dock on Lake Beauclair. The boat conveys as well!   Back inside, the main kitchen features granite countertops, exposed timbers, walk-in pantry, stainless appliances, a massive island and a big bay window with sweeping lake views. The main level also includes a parlor, library, laundry room and private gym.   Ascend the curved staircase and you’ll find an isolated primary bedroom with a private balcony overlooking the lake. The ensuite boasts dual sinks, heated towel bars, a soaking tub, a separate shower and 2 custom cedar lined closets (1 of them is practically the size of a bedroom). On the other side of the second level, there are multiple guestrooms and two full bathrooms. The in-law apartment has an private 1st level and 2nd level entry, open layout that offers an updated kitchen with a breakfast bar overlooking the dining area & family room. The apartment includes two bright bedrooms, a full bathroom and also has a separate exterior entrance. Accompanying the home office on the 3rd floor, you’ll find a big rec room/bedroom, along with a bathroom, and a slider that leads out to an additional private balcony. Don’t forget about the (whole-home) generator, RV hookups (separate septic tank for RV) and the massive attached garage with plenty of space for cars & all your lake toys. This lakeside home is just 5 mins Publix and less than 10 mins from all the parks and quaint shops in downtown Mt. Dora.
