An architect for Yale University designed this Mount Dora home, now it’s for sale

A Mount Dora home designed by a major player in the history of architecture is now for sale.

The home, located at 1414 Sylvan Drive in Mount Dora, was originally built in 1953 and designed by James Gamble Rogers. It was modeled after the historic Beauregard-Keyes House in New Orleans, according to the listing.

Rogers is known for his influence in the world of architecture. He's responsible for many of the Gothic Revival structures at Yale University built in the 1910s through the mid-1930s, and the school's 1924 master plan. He designed buildings for other universities and notable institutions, like the Butler Library at Columbia University, several buildings at Northwestern University, the NewYork-Presbyterian Columbia University Irving Medical Center and more.

The Mount Dora home comes with five bedrooms and five baths across 6,356 square feet, all perched on a 1.3-acre lakefront lot. Some amenities include the library and temperature-controlled, hidden wine cellar with room for more than 1,000 wine bottles.

The home is currently listed for $3 million and is being represented by Denise and Larry Pierce, with Watson Realty Corp.
