A historic 1886 home in Orange City is on the market for $529,000. The property sits at 525 W Blue Springs Avenue [GMap] on 1.76 acres and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,168 SF of living space.
The house is fronted by a row of towering palms that once lined a horse-drawn carriage path to the property. It also sports a wraparound porch, multiple screened sitting areas, and a second-floor balcony overlooking the grounds.
Inside, the home retains most of its original character, including handcrafted woodwork and several fireplaces spread across the living room, dining room, and a bright front room that recent owners used as a primary suite. The dining room also features built-ins and large windows. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances and a walk-in pantry, with a back door leading to a screened porch and garden.
Upstairs, the primary suite includes a 6-by-16 walk-in closet and a soaking tub, along with a second bedroom. A separate back entrance off the kitchen and screened porch provides direct access to a third bedroom on the second floor without passing through the home’s main living areas, a layout suited for a private office, studio, or guest space.
The property also includes a detached two-car garage with an electric vehicle charging station.
The home is close to shopping, restaurants, and medical facilities, and sits about 2.5 miles from Blue Spring State Park. Downtown DeLand is roughly 6.4 miles away, with New Smyrna Beach about 28 miles out and downtown Orlando about 30 miles away.
