Overview of 442 E 3rd Ave

Welcome to your opportunity to continue the tradition as an admired bed and breakfast, or write your own story as a private family estate only steps from historic downtown mount dora. The historic william watt house, circa 1906, is currently operating as the grandview bed and breakfast. This residence has been meticulously cared for, and all of the original features have been preserved throughout the residence. A large and inviting front porch, built with cypress wood from the local mill, welcomes you into the 3-bedroom, 3-full bathroom and 1-half bathroom main home. Original yellow heart pine floors, custom millwork, built-in bookcases, and two fireplaces, one being a tiger oak fireplace, creates a warm and inviting ambiance. The remodeled kitchen features historically inspired cabinetry, spacious countertops, and upgraded stainless steel appliances. The dining room overlooks the wrap around porch into the pool and extended patio area, which is ideal for entertaining and additional outdoor living.

Beyond the main residence, the brick paver patio leads to the 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom windmill cottage, a cherished mount dora landmark with juniper white cedar vaulted ceilings, french doors, and bamboo floors.
