Under contract-accepting backup offers. Step into a piece of DeLand history-where timeless charm meets modern comfort-at this beautifully preserved 1914 home nestled in the heart of the historic district. From the moment you arrive at 426 N Clara Ave, you can almost feel the stories this home holds. Picture mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee, shaded by mature trees, and evenings spent strolling just blocks away to the vibrant shops, restaurants, and events of Downtown DeLand-or a quick walk to Stetson University's picturesque campus. Inside, the home welcomes you with original hardwood floors and stunning built-ins, rich with character you simply can't recreate. Natural light pours through the windows, highlighting the perfect blend of historic craftsmanship and thoughtful modern updates. The updated kitchen is both warm and functional, featuring butcher block countertops, stainless steel appliances, and new wood flooring, creating a space that's equally suited for quiet mornings or hosting friends and family. Upstairs, the bedrooms provide a cozy retreat, complete with the convenience of second-floor laundry. The remodeled bathrooms bring a touch of luxury to everyday living-especially the upstairs bath with its classic clawfoot tub, perfect for unwinding at the end of the day. And just when you think you've seen it all, the finished third-floor attic awaits-equipped with its own mini-split system. Whether you envision a private guest suite, creative studio, or inspiring home office, this versatile space adapts to your lifestyle. Sitting on a rare double lot, this property offers incredible future potential. With room to add an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), you have the possible opportunity to create additional income, a guest house, or multi-generational living-something increasingly hard to find in this sought-after location. (City approval required) This is more than just a home-it's a lifestyle. A place where history, walkability, and opportunity come together in one truly special property.
