MOUNT DORA, Fla. --- Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty has been named exclusive marketing agents for the Grandview Bed and Breakfast, also known as the historic William Watt House Circa 1906 in downtown Mount Dora. 

Janice Clary, Central Florida lakefront marketing specialist at Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty, is representing the property and serves as principal contact.

“William Watt owned many acres of citrus and invented corrugated cardboard as a packaging medium for his oranges.  The William Watt House has only been home to four owners in the past 108 years,” said Roger Soderstrom, founder and owner of Stirling Sotheby’s International Realty.

 The property, which is listed for $795,000, includes a main house with three bedrooms and four baths, and a two-bedroom, two-bath Windmill Cottage featuring a 1930s windmill that extends 60 feet in the air, a novelty of this lovely cottage.
The property also has a detached Carriage House which features a Garden Suite with one-bedroom and one-bath, and a 720 square foot apartment/owner’s suite with private entry above the two-car garage.

 The interior of the main house showcases the original French doors, Tudor style windows, two decorative fireplaces and beautiful built in bookcases, echoed by the original heart-pine flooring, a beauty only antique wood can offer.

Grandview Bed and Breakfast, Mount Dora, FL
There is a formal living room, two dining rooms, three bedrooms, each with their own baths, a laundry room, office and a finely crafted  kitchen which has been newly remodeled with historic cabinetry, marble and stainless counter tops and upgraded stainless steel appliances.

 The property is  located just two blocks from the heart of historic downtown Mount Dora with its trendy attractions such as antique stores, art galleries, day spas, restaurants, City Park and marina. 

Situated on just under an acre with tropical landscaping, oversized saltwater pool, white vinyl fencing and multiple rocking chair porches, the stately residence presents an impressive setting for grand scale entertaining, Soderstrom said.
