Description

Step into the charm of this beautifully renovated 1927 Tudor Revival, carefully restored to preserve its original character. Featuring a unique 'weeping mortar' brick exterior, this home sits on a prime half-acre corner lot, boasting over 160 feet of waterfront with direct access to Lake Eustis via a newly built 30-foot dock. With over 2,600 square feet of living space, this home offers a stunning, fully remodeled kitchen with custom green craftsman cabinetry, quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, intricate tile work, and a premium 36-inch commercial-grade range hood. All-new stainless steel appliances complete the modern kitchen. The original wood floors have been professionally refinished and stained a rich dark brown, complementing the home’s freshly painted, bright interior. Off the kitchen, you’ll find the dining room and a large enclosed porch with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, offering breathtaking lake views. To the left, the living room features original ceiling beams, two fandeliers, a custom-tiled fireplace framed by two stunning stained glass windows, and a brand-new window that frames the beauty of Lake Eustis. Upstairs, you'll find three spacious bedrooms and two newly updated bathrooms with custom tile, refinished cast iron tubs, and new cabinetry and fixtures. A half-bathroom is conveniently located just off the foyer. The home also offers a large cellar basement with access from either the kitchen or an outside bulkhead door. Above the detached garage, there’s a 300+/- square foot in-law suite, refreshed with a new kitchenette, mini-fridge, updated bathroom, and a mini-split system for comfort. Recent updates include a complete electrical rewire with new panel, switches, outlets, lights, and fans throughout; a new septic system and drain field; a full plumbing repipe with updated fixtures; new double-pane windows; two new HVAC systems; a new roof; new rain gutters; a new oversized concrete driveway, path, and deck; all-new landscaping; and a newly rebuilt dock. Enjoy lakefront living with elegant original details, warm materials, and spaces designed for gathering and entertaining. This is a home for buyers who appreciate architectural charm and a setting that can’t be replicated. The floor plan reflects the era of construction and does not include a main-level bedroom, making it ideal for buyers comfortable with stairs who value character over modern layout conventions. Seller has provided full transparency with disclosures and priced the home accordingly. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive lakefront residence with history, beauty, and presence.
