About 1517 Manor Way
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled in the sought-after Glenwood area of DeLand, this rare property offers the perfect blend of privacy, charm, and character. Set back from the road on 1.5 acres, the home is tucked away down a long driveway where two circular drives welcome you—one leading to a detached outdoor garage oasis, the other to a beautiful brick, cottage-style home filled with unique details.
In front, you’ll find a handcrafted gazebo with a propane fire pit framed in faux stone and granite, surrounded by custom wood benches carved by a local artist—an ideal place to relax and take in the peaceful, tree-lined setting that Glenwood is known for. This area borders Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge and is celebrated as a bird sanctuary, making it a true haven for nature lovers.
The oversized garage offers endless possibilities with 900 sq ft of main space, plus an additional 300 sq ft with an entrance that connects to two separate rooms, perfect for storage, hobbies, or a workshop.
Inside, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,482 sq ft home is full of character. The living room boasts a stunning brick fireplace that rises to the 16-foot cathedral ceiling with cedar beams, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen features dark -colored wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. Off the kitchen is a laundry room with washer and dryer included, and a door that leads to a large carport, equal in size to a two-car garage.
A hand-painted spiral staircase on the main level leads up to a versatile loft and the private master suite. The suite includes a walk-in closet and a balcony overlooking the lush backyard. Two downstairs bedrooms open to a glass-enclosed Florida room with beautiful Spanish tile.
With a new roof (2024), updated well system, and repiped plumbing under warranty, this home is both charming and practical. Surrounded by the natural beauty of Glenwood—a community known for its large properties, peaceful atmosphere, and bird sanctuary setting—this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
