Some homes check boxes. This one changes plans. Sitting on a commanding .69-acre corner lot in the heart of Lake Helen, 128 N Lakeview Drive is a fully remodeled 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home that delivers the kind of space, flexibility, and quality that buyers in this market are actively hunting for and rarely finding at this price. Every inch of this home has been touched. New finishes, floors, updated bathrooms, a kitchen built for real life, and a layout that actually flows. Plus, roof is 3 years young! The main home lives large, but the real story here is the private mother-in-law suite. Use it for rental income, house an older kid who needs space but not a lease, bring the in-laws in without anyone losing their mind, or simply hold it as a flex space that adds value. That kind of built-in versatility does not happen by accident. Step outside and the lot does the talking. Two-thirds of an acre of corner lot gives you room to breathe, room to park, and room to live... maybe even a pool down the road. The detached 2-car garage doubles as a workshop, a storage solution, or a man cave depending on who is asking. In Lake Helen, where lots this size are getting harder to find and harder to keep, this property stands on its own. This is a fully reimagined home in one of Volusia County's most underrated communities, with the kind of income potential and lifestyle flexibility that buyers spend months looking for. The ones who move fast on properties like this are the ones who get them. Schedule your private tour today, times are limited.

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!
