A NEW ROOF, NO HOA, NO REAR NEIGHBORS AND A PRIVATE BACKYARD-ALL UNDER $300,000! Welcome to 1360 Chris Avenue, where convenient DeLand living meets the kind of privacy that's becoming harder to find. This single-story, concrete-block home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2-car garage and a newly improved backyard-all approximately five minutes from Historic Downtown DeLand. And there's an important reason to take a fresh look at this home: a BRAND-NEW 2026 ROOF is being installed, while the seller has already invested approximately $14,000 to level the backyard and add a new retaining wall. Imagine starting Saturday morning with coffee on the two-level patio while looking out over the peaceful wooded backdrop with no rear neighbors. There's room for the dog to play, a garden to grow, friends to gather around the stone fire pit, or simply a quiet place to unwind at the end of the day. Step inside and the home feels open and welcoming. The approximately 11-foot cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light and open-concept living and dining areas give the 1,201-square-foot interior an airy feel. The kitchen connects naturally to the main living space and includes stainless steel appliances that are less than four years old. The split-bedroom floor plan gives the primary suite its own sense of privacy, with a walk-in closet and private ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, hobbies or the home office you've been looking for. Outside, the 0.21-acre homesite offers a combination that's difficult to duplicate: no HOA, no rear neighbors, a newly leveled backyard, retaining wall, partial fencing, stone fire pit and wooded views. The attached 2-car garage adds even more everyday practicality. And when you want to get out, Historic Downtown DeLand is approximately five minutes away for restaurants, boutiques, festivals and local events. New Smyrna Beach is less than approximately 35 minutes away, with access to major Central Florida roadways for trips throughout the region. If you've been searching for a 3-bedroom DeLand home under $300,000 with a new roof, no HOA, a 2-car garage and a private backyard, put 1360 Chris Avenue on your list.
