Description of Property
Nestled in the heart of Mount Dora, the Kirby House, a charming, historic home, over 100 years old captures the timeless beauty and rich heritage of the area. Perfectly located walkable to downtown, this two-story residence offers an inviting blend of historical charm and modern conveniences. Step inside to discover the elegance of original hardwood floors and classic tile, beautifully preserved to highlight the home’s craftsmanship. The fully wood-encased doorways and windows frame each room, filling them with natural light and showcasing the spaciousness and character of a bygone era. The updated kitchen is thoughtfully designed with dolomite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dual entry points, and seamless access to the dining room, creating a perfect setting for entertaining and everyday living. Each floor offers a meticulously remodeled bathroom, both exuding charm and style. The first-floor bath features a vintage-inspired clawfoot shower tub combo, while the second-floor bath includes a generously sized, modern shower. The primary bedroom, located upstairs, is a private retreat with its own access to a covered patio. The flexible floor plan allows for a primary bedroom setup on either floor, accommodating various lifestyle needs. This home is rich in functional spaces, including an interior laundry room with ample storage, and an additional area adjacent to the kitchen ideal for a cozy breakfast nook, reading corner, or serene yoga space. Outdoor living is a delight, with an oversized screened pool patio that overlooks a lush, private backyard. A detached garage and a separate detached outbuilding - with some renovation would be perfect for an office, art studio, or workshop providing excellent additional space. There’s also an oversized, covered two-car carport for ample parking, as well as an access gate in the backyard for boat or motorhome parking. The roof, updated in 2018, provides peace of mind. A new HVAC and smart thermostat have been installed this year as well. This historic gem offers an extraordinary lifestyle with modern updates, all while preserving the timeless charm that defines Mount Dora.
