313 N Salisbury Ave., DeLand, FL 32720

Old Florida at its finest. Nothing showcases DeLand more than this John E Lewis-built home. Dr & Mrs Paul Langston commissioned Mr Lewis to build their forever home in 1963. Mrs Langston watched over each detail. The Dean of Music at Stetson, entertained his students w/ pancake breakfasts. Dinner parties were the norm. Laughter & music filled the air. The park-like setting yields over an acre of land w/ citrus trees & 2 persimmon trees. It's a gardeners paradise. An accessory zoning allowing for a mother-in-law cottage. The living room w/ wood burning stove draws your eye. The dining room boasts of leaded windows. It's not known where Mrs. Langston found the windows The dining room yields a built in china cabinet. Knotty pine cabinets adorn the kitchen. You may want an open concept w/ an island, but you'll love the counterspace & the ample storage. Quality is everywhere. The walls are plaster. The paneling is real. The floors are oak. All bedrooms are upstairs, but there's a full bath downstairs. Mrs. Langston thought of everything. The 2 daughters shared mirror rooms w/ a divider. Both areas have built in desks/dressing areas & built-ins in the closets. The son's closet has built-ins. The hallway is lined w/ storage. There's no waisted space. Guess what? The laundry room is upstairs & doubled as Mrs. Langston's sewing room. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet w/ built-ins. The chapel upstairs is ideal for meditation. The old south is alive & well w/ the history & romance of this era home.
