416 W PENNSYLVANIA AVE

Originally built by the Hogle family and mere walking distance to downtown DeLand, this three-level 1937 home sits on a private lot just shy of an acre, and seamlessly blends historic character with modern upgrades. Thoughtfully maintained, it features original hardwood floors, old-growth oak framing, cedar siding with fresh stucco, and even original crystal doorknobs—all while offering the convenience of major system updates for peace of mind. Nearly every room offers original built-in cabinetry, shelving, and drawers, and the entire home is filled with natural lighting. Updates and upgrades include a metal roof with lifetime warranty (2018), fully re-wired electrical system, updated PEX plumbing, double-pane windows throughout, brand-new water heater, and fresh interior and exterior paint. As you enter the main level through the foyer, you will be greeted by the warmth of the hardwood floors, brought to life by one of two brick fireplaces. The first sets the tone in a spacious living room, while the second brick fireplace is adjacent in the library with custom bookshelves. Make your way to the formal dining room, complete with a tasteful chandelier and ample built-in cabinetry and cupboards. Large glass doors lead to a covered, screened-in porch—complete with a one-of-a-kind brick BBQ grill. Here, the vibrant views of the wooded landscape will evoke tranquility, privacy, and peacefulness. Moving through to the brightly lit kitchen, we see both modern and vintage touches blending in harmony. A custom back splash provides the foundation for abundant counter-top and cabinet space, highlighted by a timeless natural gas range. Adjacent to the kitchen, a cozy reading nook overlooks the lush landscaping, adding to the home’s inviting and gentle atmosphere. Completing the main level is a full bathroom, again with natural lighting, as well as a bedroom with stunningly ornate ceiling tiles and recessed dresser and drawers for elegant convenience. The top level is a private master suite, featuring built-in dresser and drawers, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom. Windows greet you on each side, providing warmth and serene views at each turn. Additionally, each floor has independent air conditioning for efficiency and comfort. The lower level includes an enclosed garage, laundry area with a utility sink, a half bath with a shower, and extensive workspaces and storage areas. A separate living area offers excellent potential for a mother-in-law suite, home office, or guest quarters. This property offers exceptional privacy, backing to a large wooded area with mature mulberry trees, citrus trees, and landscaping. With its combination of historic craftsmanship, modern updates, and peaceful surroundings, located less than a mile to downtown DeLand and Stetson University, this is a house that will truly feel like home.
