“Affordable Finds” is The Orlando Shine’s new go-to column for Central Florida homebuyers looking to stretch their dollars without sacrificing style, space, or location. Each post will spotlight a home priced under $350,000 – real homes you can actually afford in neighborhoods across Greater Orlando and surrounding counties. Full disclosure, some are better than others.
This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is located at 748 W Florence Avenue [GMap] in DeLand’s Magnolia Heights neighborhood, just blocks from downtown’s historic district. Built in 1926, the 1,180 SF home sits on a double lot totaling 0.32 acres.
The standout feature is a newly constructed, climate-controlled detached studio, which is ideal for a home office, workshop, or creative space. Inside the main house, you’ll find heart-of-pine tongue-and-groove ceilings and custom artistic touches, including hand-painted doors and murals. The home has a wood-burning fireplace with a brick surround and an updated kitchen.
Recent updates include new AC units with ductless mini-splits, fresh insulation, updated electrical, a tankless gas water heater, new plumbing, and fresh interior and exterior paint. The home features hardwood flooring, high ceilings, crown molding, and built-in closets in each bedroom.
The outdoor space includes native landscaping requiring low maintenance, a fenced backyard with a fire pit, fruit trees, and a screened-in front porch. There is no HOA.
