This is one very special HISTORICAL home located in downtown Mount Dora on Third Avenue, just east of the main street known as Donnelly. It is only a couple of blocks to all of the local fabulous local restaurants, quaint shoppes and the many festivals for which Mount Dora is known. This 1926 original L. R. Heim home was completely upgraded in 1978 and then again in 1994 when it first opened as the Magnolia Inn Bed & Breakfast. The campus is comprised of 3 buildings: the Main House, the Carriage House which is now a guest cottage, and a separate studio which is often used for weddings, parties and family gatherings. The Main House has expansive formal living and dining rooms on the first floor, as well as a Florida room, grand foyer, a very spacious kitchen with tons of counter space, a game room and the master complex, or the Innkeeper's Suite. The second floor has 4 bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bath. The third floor has a bedroom and private bath as well. The house is built on one of the few basements located within Mount Dora. The Carriage House has a great room combined with the kitchen and a separate bedroom and bath, ideal for family and friends visiting from out of state. French doors off of the Florida room open up to beautiful serene gardens and patios. This home has many extras including ceiling fans throughout, crown molding, hardwood floors and fireplaces located in the formal living area and the master complex. Plus, many upgrades have been added by the present owners including a new 3 ton AC unit for the back of the house in 2016, new tile roof and awnings in 2018, new electrical wiring throughout in 2020 and the painting of the buildings in 2021. New appliances were added in 2020 including a new 50 gallon hot water tank, new refrigerator, stove, washer and dryer, and microwave. Many built-in bookshelves and cabinets are also part of this fabulous home. There is nearly an acre of land filled with beautiful plants, trees and shrubs and all is surrounded by a concrete wall. This is one home that truly could be the best family home imaginable. Call today to schedule your private showing.
