2300 LAKE RUBY, DELAND, FL, 32724

About This Property

Tucked away on a peaceful, lakefront lot, this custom craftsman-style home offers the rare feel of new construction—because it essentially is. Completely rebuilt from the ground up in 2021, all major systems, structural components, and finishes were newly completed at that time, giving you the peace of mind and efficiency of a modern home wrapped in timeless design. Private and serene, yet just minutes from downtown DeLand, Stetson University, and an easy drive to the beach, the location strikes the perfect balance. Step inside to panoramic views of Lake Ruby and soaring natural wood ceilings that instantly warm the space. The open-concept kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring high-end stainless appliances, a gas range, and generous space to gather. The owner’s suite feels like a true retreat, with French doors leading to a private 20X8 deck overlooking the water. The en-suite bath is spa-inspired, complete with a soaking tub, custom shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. A separate guest wing offers its own bedroom, full bath, and sitting area—ideal for visitors or multigenerational living. And the 26X19 outside deck area overlooking the lake will make you never want to come inside! Downstairs, a curved concrete staircase leads to a flexible third bedroom with private entry and plumbing already in place for a future wet bar or kitchenette—perfect for a guest suite, game room, or potential rental setup. Outside, a 27’ x 40’ insulated garage is already rough-plumbed for water and septic, offering endless potential for a workshop, studio, or storage for all your toys. Additional bonus space under the home adds even more flexibility for storage, hobbies, or a home office. And then there’s the lifestyle—fish from your private dock, kayak at sunset, or unwind by the firepit as the breeze moves through the trees. This is lakefront living at its best: peaceful, private, and thoughtfully designed for the way you want to live.
