GREAT Location in the heart of DeLand's University Terrace. This lovely home is perched high on a hill that is said to be one of the highest points in DeLand. This wonderful family home of 30 years is ready for a new family. The home is traditional yet modern with a great vibe. This home is a treasure with an open concept, split plan adoring large rooms, plentiful closets, an abundance of storage, and a huge rear screened-in porch spanning the length of the home. Three double sliding doors provide opening access to the ¾ year porch. One provides access from the spacious family room/dining area, the second allows entry from the efficiently laid out kitchen (perfect for the baker, or a cook who needs a desk and book nook for meal planning) and the third portal gives private access from the large master bedroom. In total, this floor plan is just perfect for the traffic flow of guests and family when entertaining and just having fun backyard gatherings. The bottom line is that this is a great home waiting for you to add your own style and upgrades to highlight the showplace that it is. This home is a must-see to believe. Just some of the advantages of this property are the short walking distance to the heart of DeLand where you can take advantage of all that Stetson University and the community have to offer such as - sports, lectures, music concerts, restaurants, festivals, and even the famous DeLand parades. Highlighted special features of this home include a large entry closet and living room with a big bay window. Wonderful family room with wood-burning fireplace for cozy cool winter nights. This home boasts a great floor plan, large rooms, and open spaces. Large windows allow for wonderful sunlit rooms, overlooking a lush backyard with mature shady trees. In a house of this age, you normally just don't find the wonderful large master with walk-in closet and tastefully designed master bath, and oversized walk-in shower. The master has long countertops with contoured double sinks. Because this is a brick home the owners enjoy low maintenance costs. An abundance of electrical outlets provides convivence in many ways. Don't forget that this home has a new HVAC system installed in 2021, full insulation in the attic and ceiling, and all well-maintained systems. LED lighting, and a garage side walkout door, are just some the of improved details of this home. Once you close on this home, take a moment to go into the backyard and become the bird watcher you always wanted to be.
