Property Description
A RARE opportunity to own a true piece of Mount Dora history. The David St. Clair Simpson House is a historic property dating back to the early 1900s and sits on nearly one acre in a C-2A zoned location near downtown Mount Dora. Built on what was once part of the original Simpson homestead, this property represents an important chapter in the community’s early development. Rich in history and full of potential, the property features an existing historic structure, a two-car garage, front and rear porches, and a rare underground bomb shelter! After more than a century, the home is ready for its next chapter. Whether envisioned as an ambitious restoration project or a future redevelopment opportunity, the property offers exceptional possibilities consistent with its commercial zoning and applicable City of Mount Dora and Historic District requirements. Its prominent location, generous nearly one acre parcel, and unique historical character make it an outstanding investment opportunity. Located on a corner lot near downtown shops, restaurants, parks, and year-round festivals, this is a chance to preserve a piece of Mount Dora's heritage while creating something special for the future. Buyers are encouraged to verify zoning, permitted uses, redevelopment requirements, and Historic District guidelines with the City of Mount Dora.
