228 Carlton Ave., DeLand, FL 32720

Historic Spanish Charmer: Renovations completed and move-in ready. This home is a stunner!!! Its street presence is breathtaking. The landscaping is a work of love, and all year long, there is something blooming. But, enough about the yard, that speaks for itself, let's talk about the house. The "done by hand" stucco is unique to the artist working almost a hundred years ago: Inside and out. Wood floors that sparkle and most original windows do work & are hard to find intact. Updated kitchen with granite countertops. Inside utility room and downstairs master bedroom and bath. Archways and shelf molding adorn the dining room. The fireplace in the living room is original to the period and style of the house. Sliders open to the front porch, and the tiled floor is reminiscent of a time long gone. Upstairs is a bath and 2 bedrooms with arched coves. The fenced rear yard has raised beds and a pond. There is a gazedo with grape vines just waiting for the summer, and a trellis with a Florida concord grape, also waiting for the sun to shine. Fig trees, cardboard plant, beach sunflower, snowball viburnum, muscadine grapes, passion vine, chickasaw plum, mimosa vine, there's always something going on. The wooden fence makes it possible to enjoy your privacy during your morning coffee, or, if you prefer, bloody mary, and the shade affords a place to sit and imbibe with a friend over your favorite cocktail. The double lot is a bonus. This little bit of DeLand history is waiting for you!!!
