The main home lives large, but the real story here is the private mother-in-law suite.

That kind of built-in versatility does not happen by accident. Step outside and the lot does the talking. Two-thirds of an acre of corner lot gives you room to breathe, room to park, and room to live... maybe even a pool down the road.

This is a fully reimagined home in one of Volusia County's most underrated communities, with the kind of income potential and lifestyle flexibility that buyers spend months looking for. The ones who move fast on properties like this are the ones who get them. Schedule your private tour today, times are limited.
