Stretching across .38 acres and surrounded by a beautiful NEWER WOODEN FENCE, this TRADITIONAL CLASSIC RANCH POOL HOME is built on a grander scale than most with expansive room sizes and attention to detail, certainly on par with other homes constructed in this older, high-end neighborhood in the heart of Deland. An extended walk-way leads in anticipation to the front door with its full sidelite ushering guests and sunlight into a gracious and welcoming “true” front foyer where a three-and-beyond sneak-peak view hints of other areas of this tasteful and timeless home. There is NO CARPET, instead a beautiful mix of a neutral colored ceramic tile laid on the diagonal and a high-quality, water-resistant, rich-wood laminate elevate the floors! Each and every door and window frame are elegantly wrapped in a wood encasement, and the art of woodworking continues throughout with intricate crown molding, crown corner blocks, and in some rooms, chair rail molding as well. To the left and through the first of two wood-encased double-door entries, each acting as a visual picture frame to the room it borders, is a grand formal living room flowing seamlessly into the formal dining. Casual living is at its finest in the OPEN CONCEPT AREAS where the FAMILY ROOM is anchored with a WOOD BURNING FIREPLACE flanked with BUILT-IN BOOKCASES and BASE CABINETRY. A TRIPLE-VIEW WINDOW aligns the entire back wall, and A WHITE and BRIGHT kitchen is located at the opposite end highlighting NEWER LED RECESSED LIGHTING within a TRAY CEILING, SS APPLIANCES, and a PENINSULA, perfect for food prep, servicing, and bar stools! Casual dining is nicely nestled between the two areas and in front of a set of stately FRENCH DOORS, giving great flexibility as to when and where space is needed most! The MASTER ENSUITE is private to the front of the home and very spacious! Besides its functional double closets, it boasts an UPDATED ENSUITE that is GORGEOUS, featuring a WALK-IN SHOWER with VIRTUOUS, NON-POROUS PORCELAIN TILES that mimic the LUXURIOUS APPEARANCE OF NATURAL MARBLE. The second bath, also RECENTLY RENOVATED with the same installation process of both a sheet and double-coated liquid membrane, is designed with a similar appearance of genuine marble with the PORCELAIN TILES on the floors and surrounding the NEWLY INSTALLED SPECIAL-ORDER, DEEP-SOAKING TUB, absolutely enhancing the already noted refined finishes throughout. Both secondary bedrooms are good-sized, and one would serve well as a HOME OFFICE as it has its own FRENCH DOOR ENTRY and a BEAUTIFUL BUILT-IN BOOKCASE, a perfect backdrop for an executive desk! The backyard offers its own PRIVATE OASIS where Florida family fun is sure to be had by all when hosting the latest and greatest celebration with plenty of room for outdoor games on green grass or PATIO and POOL play within the LARGE SCREENED LANAI! Recent POOL IMPROVEMENTS include its RESURFACING, RETILING, NEW INTAKE, NEW DRAIN, ACRYLIC DECKING, and the RESCREENING of the lanai, all 2019-2020. Additional upgrades include a newer 5-TON HVAC 2019! Water heater is new 2018! Clean 4-Point obtained 2023! Roof was installed 2013! There is NO HOA and the property also has natural gas hook-up which is a money-saver for appliances and energy use. Located less than a mile from Stetson University and award-winning downtown Deland…one is sure to enjoy the many artisan and cultural events, home-town parades, mom ‘n pop shops, and a wide variety of local restaurants!
