Set on 1.33 beautifully landscaped acres, 315 W Blue Water Edge Drive feels like a hidden lakefront retreat—yet the shops, restaurants, and charm of Downtown Mount Dora are only about 10 minutes away. The property rests along private, spring-fed Blue Lake and is surrounded by mature trees, lush landscaping, winding garden paths, and a dedicated butterfly garden—all easily maintained by a lake-fed irrigation system. At the water’s edge, a newer custom dock with a covered seating area offers a peaceful place to enjoy morning coffee, spend time with friends, or simply take in the view. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers nearly 2,900 square feet of warm and inviting living space. Mediterranean-inspired architecture, graceful arched openings, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, crown molding, and large windows give the home a character that feels both elegant and comfortable. What truly sets the interior apart is its craftsmanship. The built-in entertainment center, kitchen island, and kitchen bench were individually created by a skilled craftsman. These thoughtful details give the home a sense of personality that cannot be replicated by mass-produced finishes. The spacious kitchen was designed for both cooking and gathering. It features generous cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, double ovens, and multiple preparation areas. The custom island provides additional workspace, while the built-in bench creates a cozy place for casual meals. A separate serving area with cabinetry, granite countertops, and a wine refrigerator makes entertaining even easier. The kitchen opens naturally into the main living area, where a fireplace and handcrafted entertainment center create an inviting heart of the home. The floor plan also includes a formal dining room, a dedicated office, and flexible spaces for relaxing, working, or hosting guests. The oversized primary suite offers its own quiet escape with hardwood flooring, a tray ceiling, large windows, and views toward the lake. The primary bathroom includes separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, well-appointed bathrooms, and a laundry room with cabinetry complete the interior. Life here extends well beyond the walls. The screened porch opens to a large deck with a hot tub and several places to sit, dine, or unwind. From there, the lawn and gardens lead toward Blue Lake and the covered dock. This is more than a house near the water. It is 1.33 acres of privacy, gardens, craftsmanship, and spring-fed lakefront living—all within minutes of Downtown Mount Dora.
