Property Description

Historic District Lakefront Gem in Lake Helen. Step back in time with this designated historic district home built in 1914, beautifully situated on nearly one acre of pristine lakefront property on Lake Helen. Once occupied by the author of “Lake Helen, The Gem of Florida,” this residence blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates. This beautiful lake front property could be used as a Bed & Breakfast, AIRBNB, or your students housing while attending Stetson University. Inside, you'll find 4 spacious bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, featuring restored heart pine floors (2016) and oversized wavy glass windows that flood the home with natural light. Sixteen new windows (2023), two new HVAC units Air Handlers and Condensers (2024), and a brand-new roof (2024) provide peace of mind for years to come. Enjoy the charm of the wrap-around porch, with the lake side screened in for serene lakefront views—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Launch your canoe, paddleboard, or small sailboat right from your backyard and take in the beauty of this peaceful setting. With its unique history, character, and location, this home is truly a rare find—just 23 miles to Daytona Beach, 35 miles to Orlando, and only 7.3 miles to Stetson University in Deland. Other improvements since current ownership: Driveway installed, laundry room moved inside, updates to kitchen including quartz countertops & primary bathroom, new stove, dishwasher, washer & dryer, fresh paint inside & out, sealed shed to add air conditioning, new closet doors, concrete added to basement housing new water heater and HVAC air handlers, new landscaping, SEPTIC TANK DRAIN FIELD HAS BEEN REPLACED.
