2018 CROOKED LAKE ESTATES LANE,Eustis,Lake,Residential

Feel the Mid-Century Modern magic the second you arrive at this courtyard pool home, set on 1.15 acres on a dead end street with 164 feet of direct frontage on West Crooked Lake. This is one of those houses where the character isn’t just “there”—it’s been carefully kept and respected. A brand new roof gives you peace of mind, and the original charm remains front and center throughout.
Step inside and the mid-mod details immediately make sense: a sunken living room that looks right out over the pool and lake, post-and-beam wood ceilings that continue far beyond the classic main spaces. There are 2 cozy wood-burning fireplaces in the living room and family room. With almost 4,300 sq ft under heat and air, you get 4 bedrooms and 5 baths, including the kind of layout that works well for everyday living—and even better for entertaining. Plus, each bedroom has its own en suite, so there’s privacy for everyone. And don’t overlook the built-in storage throughout—it’s functional, and it helps keep the house feeling true to its original Matsche-style design.
When you’re ready to slow down, the lanai is the perfect place to enjoy the lake—especially those late-day sunsets. And if you’re the type who loves a little extra story with your homes, the basements here are full of possibilities. One basement level is heated and air-conditioned with stairs from inside and also a separate entrance for serious multi-generation potential. There’s also an additional finished basement with its own outside entrance and window A/C, and to top it all off… the rumored secret trap door. Could it be nothing? Sure. Could it be the start of a totally ridiculous secret speakeasy? Also sure.
And because this is more than a pretty picture, the home offers over 6,650 sq ft under roof, giving you space, flexibility, and room to grow. Finish it with the convenience of a 2-car garage, and you’ve got a rare mid-century lakeside opportunity that doesn’t come along often.
