About this property

1910 FAMILY REUNION HOME IN THE HEART OF DELAND’S HISTORIC DISTRICT

This charming 1910 Family Reunion Home in the heart of DeLand’s Historic District is just adjacent to Stetson University and a block from downtown. It is also a block from St. Barnabas Episcopal Church and famous preparatory school of excellence, and just a block from Whit’s Famous Custard.

Bright and sunny, this historic four-square home has three covered porches, a fenced deck, spacious foyer, living room, dining room, a den, 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and pantry/baking area, and laundry room. The gas range heats right up for gourmet cooking.

The reunion house has heart pine floors and woodwork. The main floor is covered with high, double-hung windows and 9-foot ceilings. The glass front door is flanked by beautiful ornate windows. Period antiques appear throughout the house including an early 20th c. piano and built-in china cabinets.

The downstairs bath contains a new, modern walk-in shower. Upstairs holds a beautiful cast iron tub with rain shower above.

Set on half- acre double lot right downtown, the reunion house has plenty of room for parking and to wander among the oak trees and young, long-leaf pines and to take beautiful walks or bide rides in historic old DeLand.

There’s always something happening downtown whether it’s the many events and parades, or among the pubs and restaurants. There are regular performances for the public from one of the finest music schools in Florida or the restored Athens Theater, each only a block away.

Sands Theatre Center and African American Museum of Arts are cultural highlights, and some of the area's activities can be experienced at David Disney Tennis Center and Victoria Hills Golf Club. Gillespie Museum and Bill Dreggor's Playground are also worth visiting. Take an opportunity to explore the area for water adventures. See Blue Springs, DeLeon Springs or enjoy wildlife walks at nearby Lake Woodruff. Head directly east to swim then dine in historic New Smyrna Beach! Take a day trip to historic St. Augustine!

Wonderful hosts and historic home
I’m not very good at reviewing houses we have stayed in, but I wanted to review the “Family Reunion” house we stayed at in Deland because it was really nice. First, the hosts, Frank and Gina, are among the most gracious hosts we have ever had. The house was stocked and equipped with everything we could have expected and then some. They have done a wonderful job restoring this historic home in a modern comfortable manner but in keeping with its historic nature. The yard is quite large and provides some breathing room between other houses. It is very comfortably and tastefully furnished. As the description relates, it is very convenient to Stetson and downtown Deland. We also walked to the wonderful art museum as well as walking around the neighborhood, to admire the architecture in the other historic homes nearby. This a definitely a five-star house, but just a couple of notes. The stairs are a bit dark; it would be great to have more lighting for them. Also, there was sometimes a bit of traffic noise at night but that may have been because (I think) it was “Biker Week” in Daytona and there was some spillover into Deland. So you might want to pack your white noise device or have an app on your phone just in case this is a problem for you. (The wifi/internet at the house is great if you need to download an app while there.) But these are minor quibbles and I am happy to wholeheartedly recommend this house for a pleasant stay in Deland.

Clean Historic Home with Great Location
If you are looking for a clean historic home with a large yard very close to downtown DeLand (with fun coffee shops!) and next door to the DeLand House Museum, this is it!If you are looking for a brand new home with sound-proof walls and floors and light switches exactly where new houses put them, this may not be for you. This is a home with charm and character. The owners keep this house very clean and well stocked with all you need for an extended stay. Enjoyed baking cookies in the baking/coffee nook. Had friends over for dinner, and the kids played outside in the large yard. The kids enjoyed the toys and books in the “mysterious”attic. Enjoyed walking downtown daily - only a few blocks away. Enjoyed the college being close, with lots of activities happening. There was a 5k early one morning right outside the house and then a large gathering Downtown with food trucks, etc. We drove to New Smyrna beach one day, maybe 40 minutes away. Overall, an enjoyable visit with friendly hosts that keep the house in good shape for its age.

The beautiful house had a lot of history and was in a great location. Huge yard with mature trees and an orange tree. Easy walking distance to downtown restaurants and shopping. We will definitely be back to stay. Lovely host kept us well informed.

Family home
Overall was a great experience! This home has an antique vibe. For some of my family, it felt cozy and relax. For others, it was a house they needed to get used to based on the years the house had. From my visit, I know the owners were still tweaking some things. Gina was super super sweet and friendly. It was easy to communicate with her any of my concerns, and she was able to rapidly adapt to my family plan changes. I will definitely return if I’m ever in that area again.

About the host

Hosted by Frank and Gina Walker

Host profile image
Frank and Gina Walker live in DeLand, FL. We met at Stetson University, had to move away for work for twenty years but returned to this beautiful area about fifteen years ago. We have four grown children and four grandchildren!
We clean our rental home ourselves to ensure that every family enjoys their stay as much as we have enjoyed it with our own family!

Why they chose this property

This historic home is the best of Old DeLand! The two lots on which the home is built are only a block from downtown but offer enough space for numerous trees and a campfire! The home has wide porches for dining inside or out and lots of private spaces so the family can spread out. We appreciate being able to have the option to host large family gatherings or just walk with the gang downtown to access Persimmon Hallow Brewery, Whit's Frozen Custard, Tony's Candy Store, The Athens Theater, Tony's Pizza among the the numbers of dining choices!

What makes this property unique

This home has been loved and updated with all new plumbing, electricity and heating/air. Twenty-seven old-glass windows make it a bright and happy spot! While it retains its charm, it is sturdy and clean. The gas heater is very quiet in the winter months, and the home stays cool in the summer months.
