Property Description

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN RESIDENCE WITH R3 ZONING!!! (Home was being painted during listing prep/photos) This darling 1915 Craftsman sits just off the shores of gorgeous Lake Minneola, part of Clermont’s Chain of Lakes in Historic Downtown Clermont! Built to last, this home has 100 year heart pine flooring with wood lathe and plaster walls. The original sash windows are operable and can be lifted up or down on both the first & 2nd floor. Crafted with hardwoods and leaded glass these windows were placed strategically back in the day to enjoy the cross breeze off the lake! The kitchen was completely redone in 2022 with white shaker cabinets and new appliances! French doors open onto the front terrace perfect for entertaining or just enjoying the beautiful water view. Unlike the traditional closed off kitchen, this new space allows you to enjoy the original brick fireplace and gives the home a more open feel. This 4 bedroom home has 2 bedrooms on the first floor with a shared bathroom. Both bathrooms have also been recently updated. Upstairs the landing has a linen closet & space for a cute niche table. A large primary suite has pitched ceilings and just a good feeling the way the natural light comes through the windows. This period home is known for larger bedrooms & smaller closets :) An upstairs sun porch can be accessed from both bedrooms and would be a great spot to add another bath, a 2nd kitchen, storage space or enjoy it as it is as a hideaway to perch with a cup of coffee enjoying the sunshine off the lake. Historic homes aren’t for everyone as they take constant attention, but the payoff surpasses the elbow grease! You cannot fake this vibe, it’s authentic, a piece of the past, an art form. As we head back outside onto the expansive wrap around porch, grab some comfy shoes and let’s go exploring! Walkable to EVERYTHING, the public beach, splash pad, ice cream parlor, dance class, a local city meeting, a hair cut…even a color! Savor delicious and fun dining options like the NEW lakefront restaurant the Salt Shack, a fun cocktail and tapas at Roasted Spirits, authentic imported Italian at Cosa Nostra deli & more! We have awesome local boutiques, specialty shops and tons of fun festivals year round. Our Sunday Farmer's market is a great spot to stock up on fresh fruits & veggies for the week! Amazing vendors with reasonably priced specialty foods, trinkets and gifts! First Friday Food Trucks is also a fun event to attend and gives you a check mark on what to have for dinner with a plethora of tasty options from around the globe! Of course the infamous West Orange Trail runs across the state winding along our waterfront, literally a stone’s throw from your front door! Ride bikes, run, rollerblade all the way to Historic Downtown Winter Garden! Once known as The Gem of the Hills, we have taken on the name “The Choice of Champions” with many world class athletes calling Lake county their home to train and compete in triathlons and water sports! Tons of NEW things coming our way as our town continues to flourish as one of Florida’s top lake towns! Ask me about the Carefree Boat Club! Now you can enjoy the pleasures of boating without the hassles of ownership. NEW mini splits throughout. Large corner lot and major investment opportunity!
