Memories are made in the beautiful dining room, featuring built-ins and window seat storage. The kitchen is filled with natural light, surprisingly large, encompassing lots of counter space, separate work areas, island, double sinks, eat in kitchen, walk-in pantry and laundry area. Plenty of room for 2 cooks in this kitchen!

The Back porch is off the kitchen and master bedroom and leads to an wonderful open porch inviting sunshine and fun times. The backyard has a fire pit area and a 8x12 utility shed. Parking and driveway are to the side leading to the back and provide plenty of room for your cars. A great spot in a great city, close to Mount Dora, Eustis and all the festivals.
