This unique home on 3 acres in Glenwood, a bird sanctuary, is a nature lovers dream. This beautiful property is a hidden gem on a private road, located near the Spring to Spring bike trail, DeLeon Springs State Park, Lake Woodruff NWR, and yet is just minutes from historic downtown DeLand. The tiled living room has high (2-story) ceilings which open to the loft, three bedrooms and two full baths. Tall windows on the front of the home span the 2 stories and fill the living room with natural light. The galley kitchen has an eating area, perfect for breakfast, with a frameless glass-to-glass corner system that looks out onto the deck and landscaping. The tiled dining room features a wall of windows and a wood burning potbellied stove. A large family room opens to a screened porch and is adjacent to the home's downstairs half-bath. The master bedroom's private balcony sits within a beautiful Live Oak hammock and is protected by a deluxe Sunsetter shade with remote control. There is a new (2019) HVAC in the main house, and A 30KW solar system spans the entirety of the flat roof on the main house to help with energy costs. The entrance to the home from Manor Way features tall, ranch-style entry timbers flanking the driveway. A second finished building, attached by a covered walkway to the main house, contains two large multi-purpose spaces with a sink, counter, cabinets and new mini-split A/C heater. Outside the home is a large deck that is partially covered and great for entertaining. The property includes a large, resort style pool and a 3rd building; a guest house, on the back acre. The heated pool is nestled within a lush, tropical setting featuring professional landscaping, extra-large waterfall, spa, and extensive paver decking. Adjacent to the pool is an authentic Chickee Hut complete with power, water, and a small refrigerator and built-in bar. A large propane system supplies fuel to the pool heater, and in-ground landscape torches. The guest house includes a 40' porch which overlooks the pool area. It has an open floor plan, high, vaulted ceilings, a built-in bar with sink and refrigerator, and full bath with an over-sized shower. The nautically themed, handmade bar showcases an inlaid treasure map and is built from authentic, reclaimed, lapstrake boat hull boards. This building can be used as a guest house, pool house, or be an in-law suite. It includes lots of storage and a separate area which could be used as a workshop or studio. The long driveway terminates in the rear in a circular drive in front of the guest house. All buildings have A/C. Zoned A-4.
