Coveted direct Lake Dora and Harris Chain of Lakes frontage sets the stage for exceptional waterfront living at 3081 Lakeshore Drive. Perfectly positioned on a .70-acre lakefront parcel, this custom Hofmeister-built block/brick residence blends timeless craftsmanship, elegant finishes, and effortless indoor-outdoor living—complete with a new dock roof in 2026, new house roof in 2025, new A/C in 2022, a whole-house generator, an oversized two-car garage, expansive parking, and a private boat dock with water, power, and two boat lifts. From the moment you arrive, the home’s graceful lakefront setting makes an unforgettable impression. Swaying palms, sparkling water views, and lush landscaping frame the welcoming exterior, while a sweeping circular drive offers convenient front-door access for guests. A large extended driveway leads to the rear of the property, providing generous parking and easy access to the oversized garage. The cozy front porch is perfectly placed to take in garden views and the shimmering waters of Lake Dora. Inside, refined details and comfortable gathering spaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The brick foyer opens to formal living and dining rooms appointed with crown molding, wainscoting, gleaming hardwood floors, and large windows that showcase dazzling lake views. Whether enjoying a quiet morning on the living room window seat or hosting a memorable holiday dinner, these spaces offer both elegance and ease. The open-concept family room and kitchen form the heart of the home, designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. Vaulted wood-beam ceilings, a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, custom built-ins, and rich wood and brick flooring add warmth and character. The well-equipped kitchen features abundant wood cabinetry, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry, prep island, expansive breakfast and serving bar, and a dining alcove overlooking the backyard. A wall of French doors opens to the expansive screened lanai, creating a seamless transition to outdoor relaxation and entertaining. A covered, screened breezeway connects the home to the oversized garage, while the interior laundry room adds everyday convenience with storage, a utility sink, and a built-in ironing board. The spacious primary suite offers a tranquil retreat with lake views, wood floors, and a private en-suite bath featuring a walk-in closet, granite dual-sink vanities, and a zero-entry tiled shower. Two guest bedrooms include walk-in closets and share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a tiled shower, while a fourth bedroom also offers a walk-in closet and convenient access to the hallway bath with tub and shower. Outdoor living is beautifully embraced from every angle—whether relaxing on the front porch, gathering on the screened lanai, enjoying the private backyard, or heading out to the dock for a day on the water. Cruise the scenic Harris Chain of Lakes, fish at sunrise, unwind at sunset, or arrive by boat to a favorite waterfront restaurant. Just two miles from downtown Mount Dora’s beloved cafés, boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants, and with everyday amenities nearby plus an easy commute to Orlando, this peaceful lakefront retreat offers the best of Central Florida living.
