Additional private decks and a large front balcony overlooking the zen garden provide quiet spots for morning coffee or evening reflection.The grand basement reveals a remarkable climate-controlled cedar wine cellar and an exceptional bar and entertainment lounge.This space is complete with a cooktop, dishwasher, and a luxurious bathroom with a double vanity and a walk-in travertine shower with a rain-shower head.With its own entrance, this level is ideal for guest quarters, a rental apartment, or the ultimate entertainment lounge.(Note: The lower level's square footage is in addition to the public record of 4,151 sq. ft.)A 115-square-foot art studio off the Library, equipped with a sink, is perfect for a workshop, hobby room, or creative space.· An additional 500 sq. ft. of finished attic space presents an opportunity to add even more value, bringing the total potential living space to nearly 5,500 square feet.The property comprises two waterfront parcels. This offers the unique potential to retain a sprawling legacy compound or, with the appropriate city approvals, explore the possibility of a future build site, a concept already met with positive feedback from the City of Mount Dora Planning department.
