This one-of-a-kind property on Old Highway 441 presents a genuine small-business opportunity combined with comfortable residential living. The single-story footprint of 2,709 square feet houses a three-bedroom residence and an integrated commercial wing that operated as a successful flower shop and nursery for more than 20 years. The commercial portion includes a large office, dedicated bathroom, storage rooms, and direct access for customers — all under a grandfathered CL zoning allowance that remains valid while the owner or an employee occupies the property.
Interior finishes are practical and solid: wood flooring throughout living areas, central HVAC, washer hookup, and a layout that separates the business functions from the private living spaces. Two additional storage buildings sit on-site, supporting inventory, tools, or workshop needs without eating into the primary footprint. Surface parking at the front and side of the building provides ample space for customers, staff, and deliveries — an uncommon amenity for a property of this scale in the Mt. Dora corridor.
The lot totals approximately 12,420 sqft (0.285 acres), offering potential for modest expansion, improved storefront visibility, or landscaping enhancements to better showcase the retail frontage. Downtown Mount Dora, with its restaurants, boutiques, and lakeside events, is a short drive away, bringing regular foot and vehicle traffic to the area. For buyers who dreamed of operating a neighborhood business with immediate visibility or for creatives seeking a combined studio-home, this property delivers functional infrastructure from day one.
Financially flexible terms may be available — the seller indicates possible owner financing for well-qualified prospects. Whether you continue the established retail use, adapt the space to a new service business, or modernize the building and market it as a unique live-work residence, 6942 Old Highway 441 S offers versatility rarely found on the market. Contact listing agent Frank Dolney for a private showing and to obtain the seller’s financial package and details on the grandfathered commercial allowance.
