About this home

Space, privacy, and the freedom of 5 acres, without giving up convenience. Welcome to this 3 bed, 2 bath property tucked away on a quiet dead-end road and surrounded by the charm of one of Central Florida's most quaint communities. Set on approximately 5 acres, this property offers the rare opportunity to enjoy room to breathe, spread out, and create the lifestyle you've been looking for while remaining within easy reach of larger surrounding communities and everyday amenities. With no HOA, you have the freedom to make the property your own. Inside, the home is bright, open, and designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind Tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while the enclosed Florida room features vinyl flooring and an abundance of natural light, creating a versatile space with endless possibilities for a hobby room, additional sitting area, playroom, studio, or simply a place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Two sets of double doors connect the living room to the Florida room, allowing the spaces to flow seamlessly together. A front screened porch provides another inviting spot to sit back, relax, and take in the views. The spacious living room features beautiful cypress walls, a cozy fireplace, and an open connection to the kitchen and Florida room. The generous kitchen offers wood cabinetry, stone countertops, an eat-in area, a breakfast bar that opens to the living room, and two pantries for plenty of storage.

The backyard is fenced and features a spacious deck that can easily be expanded to create even more outdoor living space. The property is beautifully established with mature oak, sweet gum, magnolia, and maple trees, creating shade, character, and a natural backdrop for the abundant wildlife that calls the property home.

Beachside distances are straight-line to the nearest public beach access or ramp (Volusia County data); private walkovers owned by a building aren't in the county's data. "Oceanfront lot" means the county lot lines run to the beach with nothing but beach or dune in between (Volusia County parcel map). Mainland drive times and miles follow the roads, from this home to the quickest of the nearby beach accesses; they are estimates from a routing service (OpenRouteService), and actual times vary with traffic, traffic lights, season and events. Beach driving depends on the tide and the season; check the county's ramp status before you go.
