Welcome to 289 Garden Street in the desirable City of Lake Helen. Situated on an oversized corner lot, this home offers just under 2, 400 square feet of living space and over 3, 300 square feet under roof, along with a detached two-car garage under air, three large bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and an in-ground pool. Located just outside Lake Helen’s historic district with no HOA, the area blends Queen Anne, Modern Farmhouse and Mediterranean-style homes, creating a unique setting that differs from the traditional Florida subdivision. Lake Helen is known for its quiet streets and low-density planning, offering an enjoyable lifestyle away from the hustle and bustle yet just minutes from the dining, shopping, and conveniences of the City of DeLand, with quick access to I-4 for commuting to Orlando or visiting Volusia County’s beaches. This home reflects Mediterranean style, complemented by mature landscaping, and is constructed of concrete block and stucco with a durable metal roof, built to last a lifetime! Upon arrival, you’ll notice the circular driveway at the front of the home, along with a second driveway leading to the detached garage, which is connected to the main home by a covered breezeway. The property can also accommodate boat or RV parking along the east side. The front of the home features a large veranda, perfect for relaxing and enjoying views of the mature landscaped yard and neighborhood. Inside, you’ll find a warm, well-designed layout with ceramic tile and hard wood flooring throughout, a custom front door, and lighting fixtures. The first floor includes a foyer, half bath, office/den, family room, dining room, spacious kitchen, and a laundry room complete with a laundry chute from the second floor. The layout offers a natural flow while still providing defined spaces for privacy or working from home. The family room features a propane fireplace, while the office/den includes custom built-ins ideal for work or additional living space. The kitchen offers ample counter space and storage and connects seamlessly to the dining area, making it easy to host gatherings and providing direct access to the backyard. Just off the dining area, double French doors lead to a covered lanai and pool deck. The backyard is fully fenced, and an expansive pool deck designed for entertainment. The in-ground heated pool features a double rock wall water feature that enhances this tranquil tropical garden setting. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms and three bathrooms, including a spacious primary suite with two ensuite baths, dual sinks, a soaking tub, separate shower, and a large walk-in closet. A third full bath with dual sinks and a tub/shower combination serves additional bedrooms. The detached, side-entry two-car garage is connected via covered breezeway and has its own split HVAC system, offering flexibility for parking, storage, a workshop or art studio. Overall, this home is a welcome departure from the norm, combining character, functional space, and a setting designed to enjoy the Florida lifestyle.
