Perhaps the best kept GATED COMMUNITY secret in all of Deland! This small gem affords large living to its residents beginning with the lush landscaping and SHOOTING WATER SPRAYS hinting of that "SOMETHING EXTRA" found just beyond its SECURE ENTRY. Seventy-one well-maintained homes are nestled on this hilly acreage, and in between the MAGNIFICENT OAKS beautifully aligning the parkway and the rolling water rock waterfall is a REMODELED COMMUNITY CENTER offering a RESORT-LIKE LIFESTYLE with its WRAPAROUND PORCH overlooking a brilliant blue UPPER-DECK POOL and a PICTURESQUE POND...and on its other side are TWO RESURFACED TENNIS & PICKLE BALL COURTS providing recreation for all ages. Lovingly maintained and with upgrades being made continually, this home boasts CLASSIC FEATURES...an EXTENDED TRAY CEILING in the living room, REAL HARDWOOD FLOORS, and FRENCH DOORS...and with a floor plan that leans slightly more traditional than many contemporary counterparts, its wall space allows for ample furniture placement and decor while still providing the WIDE OPEN LIVING SPACES for friends and family to gather. Entertainment is made simple through the large serving window spilling directly into the dining area from the kitchen where there is plenty of storage in the REAL WOOD CABINETRY and CLOSET PANTRIES, one in the kitchen and another just around the corner. A high-top bar, located at the far end of the kitchen and perfectly suited for two bar stools, is yet another place in which to gather for a shared cup of coffee or to keep the chef company. The large master suite, with its two mirrored closets and private ensuite (updated with OIL-RUBBED BRONZE PLUMBING FIXTURES, LIGHTING, CABINET PULLS and a WALK-IN SHOWER) has a private entrance into a room that is perfectly situated for a HOME OFFICE or LIBRARY, also accessed from the family room through its glass-lit French doors. A POWDER ROOM is available for guests so that the second bathroom can be fully utilized by those occupying the two additional bedrooms. The utility room, just off the garage, has a large space that could easily be converted into a mud room with a drop-off built-in for book bags and shoes. Most of the home's interior has been freshly painted, and windows throughout the home keep everything bright and cheery. A BEAUTIFUL NEW VINYL PLANK FLOOR in the third bedroom means that the home is CARPET-FREE! With NO REAR NEIGHBORS, the SCREENED COVERED PORCH and backyard are to be fully enjoyed in tranquility when solitude is preferred. Easy access to the award-winning city of Deland and to Orlando and multiple area beaches!
