Home Description

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Welcome to 2315 Overlook Drive in Mount Dora along the shores of idyllic Lake Gertrude, one the best locations with a commanding view of this highly desired 248 acre lake. Lake Gertrude has some of best water quality of any natural lake in the State of Florida. The water is crystal clear, fish are abundant and clearly visible from any boat dock. Lake Gertrude is deep for a Florida lake, known for the sandy bottom, and because it is spring-fed, it keeps lake water levels from fluctuating significantly. Most of the lake is within the city limits of historic Mount Dora which is just a short walk away.  The lake is lined with beautiful lakefront homes of all description, from historic cottages to larger estate homes. The streets around Lake Gertrude are park-like with locals drawn to the peaceful setting for a morning or evening walk. Public Access to Lake Gertrude is limited except for a small canoe launch area on the west side. Swimming, fishing and water skiing are popular with lakefront property owners. The back yard gently slopes to 100’ of lake frontage, providing a blank canvas to envision how you want to enjoy the lake and admire spectacular sunsets. A semi-circular paver driveway offers abundant parking for guests who will take note of the generous front porch, accented with stately columns and stone work. The double door entry leads to the lower level or up to the main level of the home where the glassed doors allow for abundant natural light through the living room and panoramic views of Lake Gertrude. The 4,450 square feet of living space is thoughtfully planned, and has potential for creating areas that fit your needs. The upper floor comprises of the living room with a double-sided fireplace, dining space, and half-bath. A designer kitchen offers gas cooking, a pot filler, granite counters, tiled backsplash, built-in desk home information center, and lake views from the breakfast nook. The primary bedroom has a spa-like ensuite bathroom, walk in closet, and access to the upper balcony. The second bedroom offers an ensuite bath and walk in closet. Downstairs reveals an additional bonus room with incredible lake views, two additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite bath, second full bath, and kitchenette with laundry. A game area or second living room has ample counter space to add your beverage station or snacks for movie night. Access the backyard and lakefront fun from this lower level through glass doors, which also provides a private entrance to create an in-law or student suite. A Lake Gertrude property with expansive waterfront views, a generous homesite along a picturesque Mount Dora street, architectural details, and rooms that are flexible for designing for today’s lifestyle don’t come along very often. 2315 Overlook Drive is ready for new owners to make it a very special lakefront home.
