Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose Mount Dora
We wanted to holiday in a scenic area that was close to a small downtown area, while also within easy reach of a major airport and major tourist attractions.
The Unique Benefits at this Detached House
We like visiting antique shops, visiting the coasts, socializing, and eating out.
Owner's Map of Mount Dora
I was born in Ireland and my wife in England, so we are in a mixed marriage! We relive daily the turbulent history that has plagued our countries for 700 years! That said, we have been together for nearly 40 years. We bought our Mount Dora home when we lived in St. Paul, Minnesota and desperately needed an escape to the sun. Friends who live in Orlando recommended Mount Dora as a location that would suit Europeans. They were right - it does. We love the area and enjoy walking the few blocks to Mount Dora's main street. We especially like the neighbors who have made us feel at home.
