Under contract-accepting backup offers. This nearly new 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home has been exceptionally cared for and offers a fresh, modern feel with a floor plan that gives you room to live, relax, and enjoy life all year round. The front of the home is designed with privacy in mind, featuring two bedrooms with a full bathroom tucked between them. Continue into the main living area and the space opens up with a bright, comfortable feel. Luxury vinyl flooring runs through most of the home, creating a clean and easy-to-maintain finish, while the bedrooms offer the cozy touch of carpet underfoot. The living room and reading nook provide separate spaces to unwind, while the laundry room is conveniently tucked away to the side, close enough to be practical, but not the first thing you see when guests arrive (because laundry deserves its own little corner). The kitchen brings a crisp, modern look with bright white quartz countertops, a large island with bar seating, nice sized pantry and plenty of room for preparing meals.  The dining area sits toward the back of the home, creating a comfortable connection between the indoor living spaces and the peaceful views beyond. A nearby half bath adds convenience for guests. Tucked just off the kitchen, the primary suite offers a generous layout with an added bonus area that gives you options. Use it as a private office, a cozy lounge space, a nursery, a reading area, or whatever fits your lifestyle. The en-suite bathroom features dual sinks, an oversized walk-in shower, and a large walk-in closet with plenty of room to stay organized. When it's time to enjoy the outdoors, sliding doors lead from the living room to the covered patio and backyard garden area overlooking the pond. The home's elevated position provides added peace of mind during storm season while still allowing you to enjoy the relaxing views and outdoor space. Beyond your front door, the community offers a pool for those warm Florida afternoons, and downtown DeLand is close by with local restaurants, boutique shopping, coffee shops, and plenty of places to enjoy an evening out. Modern finishes, a functional layout, and a peaceful setting come together in this well-kept home, offering a comfortable place to settle in and enjoy the DeLand lifestyle.
