While others chase overpriced Orlando subdivisions, savvy buyers are claiming properties this area where Mediterranean-inspired estates, oversized quarter-acre+ lots, and preserve-backed privacy create one of DeLand's most distinctive addresses. This property delivers 2,758 square feet of Tuscan elegance with 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and designer details that distinguish investment-grade properties from production homes. Stone exterior, tile roof, and paver driveway set the tone before you step inside to granite countertops, designer cabinetry, and finishes that reward closer inspection. The master suite commands attention: coffered ceilings, his-and-hers closets, and a luxurious bath with a garden tub and separate shower. The open floor plan flows naturally from the gourmet kitchen into light-filled living spaces. Your 3-car garage handles vehicles, hobbies, and storage without flexibility. Stetson University's well known campus (Florida's oldest private college) anchors a downtown where acclaimed restaurants, independent galleries, and year-round festivals create cultural richness typically reserved for much larger cities. I-4 access delivers you to Orlando's employment centers and airports in under an hour. Daytona's beaches provide weekend escapes without tourist chaos. Those who value walkable historic charm and appreciate refined living in addition to excellent schools and genuine community. Discover DeLand, known as "The Athens of Florida," where historic charm and cultural depth meet everyday livability just 45 minutes from Orlando and 30 minutes from Daytona Beach.
