Description of Property

Here is a revised version that preserves the narrative tone and romance, removes any dollar-specific upgrade claims, and clearly introduces the redevelopment upside and interim-use value of the cottage, all while remaining MLS-appropriate and investor-savvy: Step into a true storybook setting with this enchanting 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence in the heart of New Smyrna Beach, a home with roots as distinctive as its future potential. Originally built in 1939 as a train ticket depot, this rare property has been thoughtfully transformed into a charming modern retreat that honors its history while embracing comfortable coastal living. The home has benefited from numerous meaningful upgrades, including a refreshed kitchen with shaker-style soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and updated wall and ceiling textures, along with a fully remodeled bathroom. The spacious primary bedroom easily accommodates a king-size bed, while the living area is filled with natural light, enhanced by upgraded windows, ceiling fan, and an inviting front door that allows Florida breezes to flow freely throughout the home. The romance of this property is real and lasting. One evening, as the sun set in soft pinks and golds, a young couple stood on the large screened porch and celebrated a proposal inspired by the timeless character of the former train depot. That moment is now part of the fabric of this home’s story, adding an intangible warmth that is felt the moment you arrive. Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre in a peaceful country-like setting, this property offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and accessibility. The expansive fenced yard provides room for pets, boats, RVs, or future expansion, and the location offers a straight, convenient drive to New Smyrna’s drive-on beaches, I-95, multiple golf courses, and direct access to the East Central Florida Regional Rail Trail. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, the home provides immediate income potential while also presenting a compelling long-term opportunity. The existing cottage could easily be used as a residence, guest house, or temporary living space while plans are developed for a future custom estate, including the potential to build a multi-million-dollar residence on this exceptional parcel. Zoned R-4 with additional zoning flexibility possible, this is a versatile canvas ready for vision and creativity. Whether you are drawn to the romance of its history, the charm of its upgrades, its income-producing potential, or the rare opportunity to create something extraordinary on a large New Smyrna Beach parcel, this one-of-a-kind property is ready to begin its next chapter with you.
