Within the SECURE GATES and just past the beautiful SHOOTING WATER SPRAYS is perhaps one of Deland’s best kept secrets, the Cascades, where seventy-one well-maintained homes are sweetly situated on this hilly acreage amidst lush landscaping and MAGNIFICENT OAKS beautifully aligning the parkway. Nestled in this picturesque setting is this hard-to-find charmer for the passionate soul longing for the perfect palette in which to self-express and create a forever home! It is NOT a DUPLEX but a SELF-STANDING SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE that is whimsically artistic and wonderfully unique…with all of the “good bones” and important “character” qualities present! The approach to the home is like a storybook. Mature landscaping among oaks…but trees only frame the property…nothing directly over the structure. A natural 25’ HOA buffer extends beyond the backyard protecting from any direct rear neighbors, and a paved walk-way around the home on the left overlooks an approximate 45’ separating you from your side neighbor’s structure and meanders to an extended patio off the sliding glass doors in the backyard. To the right, the sidewalk leads to a tranquil front porch, and with a step inside the mirrored glass front door flanked with two side transoms, one does not leave the beauty of Florida flora, but instead, the home becomes a sanctuary within and among as the SOARING VAULTED CEILING hints at the sky above and HUGE GLASS PLATED WINDOWS surround in every direction making the transition between the indoors and outdoors minimal. OPEN CONCEPT is at its best with fascinating angles lending to unlimited and non-conventional possibilities of furniture placement in the main gathering areas…cozy enough for just one or two…but so open that there will always be enough room for entertaining. The GLISTENING WHITE KITCHEN is sleekly contrasted against a black engineered-stone sink and black cabinet pulls for a stylish but not over-the-top impression. The PRIMARY SUITE has a soft-hue and boasts not one…not two…but THREE SEPARATE CLOSETS. The ensuite features a dressing vanity and a PRIVATE WATER CLOSET with a WALK-IN SHOWER. Towards the back of the home with THREE SPECTACULAR WINDOW VIEWS is the second bedroom opening with DOUBLE DOOR ENTRY just off the great room, making it an excellent FLEX SPACE for a potential study, den, home office or a combination of any of the above. A second bath completes the indoor living. The garage is OVER-SIZED and should easily accommodate that second car or workshop. Offering a RESORT-LIKE LIFESTYLE is the REMODELED COMMUNITY CENTER with its WRAP-AROUND PORCH overlooking a brilliant blue UPPER-DECK POOL and a PLEASING POND...and on its other side, TWO RESURFACED TENNIS & PICKLE BALL COURTS which are sure to provide excellent recreation for all ages.
