This lovely 3BR/2.5Bathroom home with oversized, detached 2 car garage is set on a beautiful, wooded 3.65 acre lot. Located between Lake Mary and Mt. Dora, just 3 miles west of the Wekiva River, you can enjoy the beauty, lakes and gentle hills of Lake County, while being only 12 minutes from shops, restaurants and amenities in Seminole County. This home is just a 5 minute walk from the biking/walking trail that connects to the Seminole Wekiva trail that traverses the state of Florida. There is also a 17 mile horse trail in the nearby 14,000 acre Rock Springs Run State Reserve. The 27,000 acre Seminole State Forest is also nearby. There is no HOA, and all the other homes of Deerwood Farms Rd. are on acreage, so you can park your boat or RV on your own propert. There is privacy but not isolation. Well maintained by the original owners, this home is built of solid Ocala Block, and the windows are all double pane, keeping the electric bills extremely low. 6 year old new roof and 6 year old 5 ton Trane AC. Kitchen appliances are just 3 years old, cabinets are oak and island is butcher block top. There are easy to put up hurricane shutters for every window and for the sliding glass doors. Floors in bedrooms and living areas are gorgeous, real wood...glued down to stay. Kitchen and bathroom floors are porcelain tile. The Primary bedroom has a walk in closet and en suite bathroom. The living area has a wood burning fireplace and firewood box, and solid wood shelving/entertainment center that stays. The baby grand piano can stay, or the present owner will pay to move it out if the new owners don't want it. Original garage is now a 21'x23' man cave with a private entrance and a 1/2 bath, with room to put in a shower. There is a 83" Samsung O LED TV and Boze surround sound which will stay. Loads of storage closets in this man cave, too. It could even become a Mother in Law space! The detached garage is extra deep at 24'x24' and has two walk in storage sheds beside it. There are several other similar sheds around the property. Behind the house is a 10'x16' solid Cedar "she shed" with a tin roof. It has been used as an office, extra guest room and hobby space. A child's 8'x10' play house is in the back, also. There are lemon, pear and apple trees on the property, as well as a fenced in 30'x50' raised bed area. The property is fully irrigated by the well. This is a beautiful place for a homestead or just peace and quiet.
