ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If you know Lake Helen then you know what a gem it is to find a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 2 car garage, block home on 3/4 an acre in this location! Being extremely close to I-4 for commuting to pretty much anywhere, this small town has a historic charm and is also close to New Smyrna Beach, Deland and Daytona Beach! The home features a split plan with a formal dining room, formal living room, formal family room and a bonus room off of the master bedroom! The kitchen is the center of the home so you still have a somewhat open feeling even though you do have a more formal layout. The interior laundry with a half bath is a great size allowing for storage. All new engineered hardwood flooring was done last year, a new roof was installed in 2023 and the AC was replaced in 2021!
