Property Description
Welcome to 140 N. John Street, a charming and thoughtfully updated historic bungalow tucked between the heart of downtown Mount Dora and the up-and-coming "Uptown" Mt Dora with antique shops, breweries, and restaurants. Offering 648 square feet of efficiently designed living space, this unique home combines vintage character with modern updates in one of Central Florida’s most beloved small-town destinations. Although the public records reflect a one-bedroom, one-bath home, the interior is designed more like a spacious studio-style retreat. A decorative room divider creates separation between the living and the sleeping area, while the bedroom space includes its own closet with stylish barn doors. Wood-look laminate flooring flows through much of the home, complemented by ceramic tile in the kitchen and a tastefully updated bathroom. The home features a 2yr old roof and brand-new HVAC system, allowing the next owner to spend more time enjoying Mount Dora and less time worrying about major updates. The home has been renovated with careful consideration for the charm and personality of Mount Dora’s historic bungalows. With the right offer the property may also be available furnished, offering the possibility of a nearly turnkey opportunity for a second-home buyer or investor. Outside, enjoy a lushly landscaped courtyard area, privacy fenced backyard and two dedicated parking spaces—valuable conveniences this close to downtown. Leave the car behind and explore! The shops, restaurants, cafés, festivals and entertainment of Historic Downtown Mount Dora are approximately ½ mile away, while the lakefront marina, Gilbert Park and beautiful Lake Dora are also just a short walk from home, Uptown is literally located 1-3 blocks away! Known as the “Festival City,” Mount Dora draws visitors throughout the year for its nationally recognized festivals, charming downtown, waterfront setting and Old Florida atmosphere. Also recently ranked 3rd in the USA Today 10 Best Readers Choice Awards for Best Small Town Food Scene! Whether you’re searching for a cozy full-time residence, a Florida getaway, a snowbird retreat or a property with short-term rental investment potential, this little bungalow offers a rare combination of Location, Character and Versatility. Home has a transferrable termite bond!! Owner/Agent. Small in size, big on charm—and close to everything that makes Mount Dora special!
