Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Built in 1883, this historic mixed-use property is currently operated as a cafe and offers C-2 zoning with placement in DeLand’s Opportunity Zone. The main house contains 3,572 heated square feet with five bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom, along with two large living areas and a dining room with a fireplace. Additional interior amenities include a kitchen and an office/flex room currently used as a hostess area/store, and one bedroom and bath with a separate entry.

The grounds include room for parking and a detached 551-square-foot 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment/guesthouse with potential for a second bedroom, plus an in-ground swimming pool. The property is located in the heart of downtown DeLand, reportedly within two blocks of the center of downtown and very close to Stetson University.
