216 W MICHIGAN AVENUE

One-of-a-kind Mediterranean Revival home in DeLand’s Historic District, surrounded by other notable period properties—216 W Michigan Avenue is the kind of home that rarely comes to market. Set on an oversized 0.37-acre in-town lot, this 1920 residence has been meticulously maintained with careful attention to detail and a true respect for its original character and charm. Inside, the layout balances timeless character with comfortable everyday living. The original side porch was enclosed years ago and thoughtfully incorporated into the main home, creating a beautiful library-style space with custom built-ins—and with direct access to the garden. The living room features a fireplace, a separate dining room sets the stage for gatherings, while the kitchen offers a bright, charming eat-in area with built-in benches and an abundance of natural light. All bedrooms are upstairs, along with an additional studio or flex space—light-filled, airy, and perfectly suited for a creative room, home office, or reading retreat. Storage is generous throughout, which is always a gift in a historic home. And if the home os not magnificent enough, the Outside also shines! The garden is manicured and thoughtfully laid out, complete with a charming gazebo and a decorative water feature that adds a peaceful focal point. There is no garage, but the lot allows for one to be added, with convenient access from Sans Souci (requires permitting). Major improvements have been handled with care and foresight, including a stone-coated steel roof (2018, upgraded 2025), AC (2018), tankless water heater (2018), and an electrical panel upgrade (2018). Natural gas serves the tankless water heater and gas stove, adding efficiency and practicality to this classic home. A special home in a special setting—rich in character, exceptionally maintained, and positioned in one of DeLand’s most treasured historic neighborhoods.
