Welcome to 8852 Bridgeport Bay Circle, located in the premier 55+ active community of the Lakes of Mount Dora. This lakefront home offers stunning sunrises, serene water views, and beautifully upgraded living spaces. Upon entering through the front door, you are welcomed into the foyer, featuring an elegant arched display niche perfect for art or décor. The great room's open concept becomes the heart of this home, with its spaciousness, natural light, and gorgeous lake views. Surrounding the living area are the dining and breakfast rooms, either could be used as flexible space for entertaining or as additional seating areas in the living room. You'll find the 24x24 ceramic tile throughout just one of the many touches that make this house a home. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a subway-tiled backsplash, 42-inch cabinets, stainless-steel Whirlpool appliances, including a farmhouse-style single-bowl sink.  Countertop-level glass-block windows ensure ample natural light, and there's a huge pantry. The primary suite finishes include window shutters, behind which are lovely views of the lake.  There are two closets and a zero-entry walk-in shower with decorative glass tile accents. The vanity features Corian countertops and ample storage under the split sinks, and a private water closet. At the front of the home is the "guest suite" featuring the second bedroom and bath. The bay window in the second bedroom enhances the room's 150-square-foot footprint. A sliding barn door is just one of the highlights of the second bath, which also features wainscot, a tub/shower combo, and a large linen closet. Glass French doors accent the den/office/craft room and a full-sized closet. Here you'll find a quiet space for work or hobbies, or 3rd bedroom. Outdoor living is exceptional. Pass through the triple-sliders to the four-season patio with double-pane windows, or enjoy the open air on the paver patio under the pergola, with mature landscaping and beautiful lake views.  Barbeque enthusiasts will appreciate the pre-plumbed natural gas line. At 27'x19', this oversized garage provides flexibility for everyone, whether used for a workshop, storage, or hobbies. It features two garage doors: the front for 2 cars, and the side for easy golf cart access. Pull-down screens on each door provide a great cross breeze without the worry of pesky bugs, making this the perfect She-shed or Man-cave. The Whirlpool front-loading washer and dryer anchor the laundry room. Additional perks include a utility sink and a closet.   Cat lovers will appreciate the discreet access to the kitty litter station via the "mouse-hole".
