Tucked away on a peaceful, wooded lakefront lot, this custom 2021 craftsman style homerebuilt from the ground upfeels like a breath of fresh air. Secluded and serene, yet just minutes from downtown DeLand, Stetson University, and a quick drive to the beach, it offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Walk through the front door to panoramic lake views of quiet Lake Ruby and the warm glow of natural wood ceilings that soar above. The bright, open kitchen is perfectly set up with high end stainless appliances, a gas range, and plenty of space to cook, gather, and share good food. Whether its coffee with a view or dinner with friends, this kitchen can handle it all. The owner's suite is a true retreat. French doors open to a private deck overlooking the water, and the en suite bathroom is spa likecomplete with a dreamy walk in closet, a separate soaking tub, and a custom shower that makes every morning feel like a treat. Guests are well cared for, too, with their own wing that includes another bedroom, full bath, and cozy sitting area with even more views of the lake. Downstairs, a curved concrete staircase leads to a flexible third bedroom with its own entrance and plumbing in place for a future wet bar or kitchenettethink game room, guest suite, or even a rental opportunity. Outside, the possibilities keep coming. Theres a 27 x 40 insulated garage rough plumbed for future water and septicideal for a workshop, studio, or space to stash your boat and toys. Under the house, a bonus room (currently used as a kennel) could easily become storage or a space for lake gear. And the lake? It's right there. Fish off your private dock, launch a kayak at sunset, or just sit at the firepit with a glass of wine and listen to the breeze move through the trees. This is more than a houseits a lifestyle. Relaxed, private, and beautifully connected to nature.
