About this home
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES IN THE HEART OF NEW SMYRNA BEACH! Welcome to 214 DeSoto Drive, ideally located in the highly desirable Buena Vista Shores neighborhood of New Smyrna Beach! Situated along the North Causeway, this charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath home is just minutes from the beach, Flagler Avenue, Canal Street, the Intracoastal Waterway, restaurants, shops, and the public boat launch. This property offers something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find, options! The home can be enjoyed exactly as it is, renovated and updated to your personal taste, expanded with an addition, or completely redeveloped into a brand-new coastal home. Whether you’re looking for a beach getaway, investment property, primary residence, or the opportunity to create your dream New Smyrna Beach home, the possibilities are yours. The existing home features a comfortable 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath layout and a 1-car garage, providing a great starting point for your vision. Keep the charm of the existing home, renovate it into a modern beach retreat, add additional living space, or start fresh with new construction. And the potential views are exceptional! A second-story addition or new two-story home could capture beautiful views of the Intracoastal Waterway, Chicken Island, and the boats as they cruise along the river and move through the nearby marina. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee or evening sunset from an elevated balcony while watching the boats pass by, all from your own home. The location is hard to beat. Head east to Flagler Avenue, where restaurants, shops, and beach-town entertainment lead you directly to the ocean, or head west to explore the charm of Canal Street and downtown New Smyrna Beach. The Intracoastal Waterway and boating activities are right nearby, putting you in the middle of everything that makes this area so special. Live in it. Renovate it. Expand it. Build new. The choice is yours. Opportunities to own property in this location with this much flexibility are rare. Bring your vision and create your own piece of New Smyrna Beach!
