311 Washington Oaks Dr., DeLand, FL 32720

BACK-UP OFFERS REQUESTED! This Georgian estate has the same strength of character as does the name of the street on which it resides. Although in the heart of the city, three lush, green, manicured acres of magnificent foliage & fauna encompass this 60,000 wood-mold bricked-beauty w/a meandering private tree-lined road leading to a circular drive & a vintage 19th century English cottage door beckoning entrance into a home that is rich in fine finishes...elegant to impress yet gracious to embrace...w/unparalleled custom craftsmanship. Thirty-five windows (newer Anderson) allow natural light indoors while framing the outdoors as magical vignettes off a storybook page. The woodwork is so impressive...the hearty redwood on exterior trim...the intricately laid hand-planed oak parquet floors...& the reclaimed heart pine casings, chair rail, & solid wood doors that once lined the halls of Chaudoin Hall at Stetson. The kitchen is a masterpiece w/walls of solid mahogany cabinetry boasting every type of custom design...not one base cabinet is stationary. A large pantry & a service closet aid in entertaining in the formal living & dining rooms. Looking into the great room, images appear of the most perfect gatherings where tradition meets family in a warm, open space w/soaring ceilings & wood-burning fireplace. Three luxurious bedroom suites: a private hall for guests & a grand master w/custom closets & a balcony overlooking the fireplace. A 16x20 bonus room is ready to be finished as a 4th bedroom or in-law suite.
