Having a hard time finding a home you can afford? TACKLING A FIXER-UPPER IS A GREAT OPTION WITH POTENTIAL MAJOR REWARDS. If you are looking for a bargain-you've just found it. Few home exteriors are more recognizable and romantic than Spanish style design. The towering turret covering the front entry, tall chimney and parapet date back centuries but remain an integral part of architecture today. Inside rounded ceiling joints, arched doorways and built-ins are not only traditional but expected in the layout. When determining the renovations, there is much that can be salvaged in the interior that will limit out of pocket expenses. Engineered hardwood and tile floors, French doors, crown and base mouldings appear to be in usable condition throughout most of the home. Kitchen appliances are stainless and ready for use. The layout has a great flow, with a kitchen dining area that borders the living room. An earlier renovation in the kitchen gives it bump and stagger cathedral door cabinetry and tiled back splash. Painting the entire home and removing paneling will change the interior considerably but the majority of this house just needs a darn good cleaning to make it more appealing. Modernizing the bathrooms to trends of today will put dollars in your pocket if you're looking to fix and flip or just want a new look when you move in. The potential in this 1700+ square foot home, that is priced to sell, is astounding. The footprint includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen dining area, living room and a huge laundry utility room. Outside you'll find a single car garage and a storage building that is in need of repair. The oversized property has many desired plants and trees. Manicuring the property is all about getting your hands dirty and applying sweat equity. Not much money needs to be spent here. Deland, the Volusia County seat is approximately 35 miles north of the Orlando business district. It is home to Stetson University and the Athens Theater. Frequent the thriving business district with great restaurants and one of a kind shops. Staying local, top things to do are touring the Stetson Mansion (it's magnificent especially at Christmas), visit Hoonton Island State Park or the Highland Park Fish Camp. Long story short, you can enjoy that small town feel where real estate prices continue to increase, with nearby big city access via I-95 and I-4. It doesn't get better that!
