About this home
Welcome to 1245 Alexander Street—an enchanting circa-1927 pool home with guest house, brimming with character and ideally located just a short stroll from historic downtown Mount Dora. Set on an oversized lot with mature landscaping and multiple outdoor living spaces, this property blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful modern updates. The main house, 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home, welcomes you with an inviting enclosed front porch—perfect for morning coffee or quiet afternoons. Inside, original wood floors, glass doorknobs, built-ins, a fireplace and vintage details showcase the home’s historic charm, while tasteful renovations ensure comfort and convenience. The renovated kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. Main bathroom has been refreshed. The renovated laundry area offers additional custom cabinetry, granite counters, and a convenient half bath. A screened back porch overlooks the sparkling saltwater pool, surrounded by a brick-paved sun deck ideal for lounging, entertaining, or enjoying Florida’s year-round outdoor lifestyle. The property features ample storage space inside with many cabinets and a large walk-in closet. Outside, an oversized lot with multiple outbuildings; one-car garage, workshop, potting shed, riding lawn mower (or golf cart) shed. The guest house (garage apartment), at the rear of the property—accessible by its own private entrance—is a fully renovated second floor unit. Perfect as a guest suite, mother-in-law suite, boomerang baby suite or private retreat, it includes its own brick-paved patio for added outdoor enjoyment. Situated just a short walk from the heart of downtown Mount Dora, this home places you steps from the city’s vibrant shops, cafés, parks, lakes, boardwalk, and year-round festivals. From the nationally loved Mount Dora Arts Festival to the Craft Fair, Light Up Mount Dora, Spring Festival of Arts & Crafts, and countless weekend events, you’ll enjoy the full charm of this celebrated small town right outside your door. With its unbeatable location, historic character, modern upgrades, and versatile guest house, 1245 Alexander Street offers a rare opportunity to own a truly special piece of Mount Dora.
Local Insight
At $301/sqft for a 1927 home in Mount Dora's historic district, you're paying a premium that sits solidly in the "Historic/Waterfront Mid" range—which suggests this property is either exceptionally updated or positioned as move-in ready, so verify the actual condition and whether that price reflects genuine modern systems or period charm with deferred work. The private pool is a meaningful differentiator in a neighborhood where most period homes don't have them, but at 0.35 acres on a historic street, you're getting lifestyle appeal and walkability to the antique shops and galleries rather than privacy or land value. The real question is whether the bones and bones-deep systems (electrical, plumbing, foundation) match the asking price, especially given that comparable historic homes in the $380K–$550K range are moving in this market.
