CUSTOM-BUILT BRICK and GATED with NO HOA, this little gem is well on its way to becoming its own PRIVATE OASIS in the heart of the old-world Florida Glenwood community just outside of Deland with its TOWERING OAKS lining Grand Avenue. Enter securely through a REMOTE-ACCESS, WROUGHT-IRON GATE into a parcel that appears and functions much more like a full one acre lot due its well-planned arrangement with the home being set-back into the far right corner leaving LARGE USABLE ACREAGE for both a front and side yard. The home is already MOVE-IN READY, but with a few changes, its OPEN CONCEPT LIVING and VAULTED CEILINGS would rival any newly-built, contemporary rustic farmhouse available. Two sets of FRENCH DOORS open into an ENORMOUS GATHERING SPACE where a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE with STONE and DRIFTWOOD STRETCH WALL TO WALL creating a very natural, EARTH-LOVING ENVIRONMENT. This area spills into ANOTHER LARGE GATHERING SPACE with a dining room designed ideally to accommodate the largest real-wood farm table potentially available! The ADDITIONAL FAMILY ROOM, although its own area with a separate front-door entry and SKY LIGHTS, is still fully interactive with the kitchen and dining areas...but also to the great room where the fireplace can still be enjoyed from a distance. The master boasts a WALK-IN CLOSET and an ENSUITE with a WALK-IN SHOWER, KNEE VANITY and NEWER LIGHTING. A hall bath is shared between the second and third bedrooms, the last of which does not have a closet. The FULLY FENCED PARCEL has WELL-WATER IRRIGATION allowing for gardening and beautiful tropical foliage to thrive, and it has a SCREENED GAZEBO, covered above and tiled below, providing a restful retreat to enjoy a cool glass of lemonade under the shade of the majestic trees that canopy around it.
