Description
Virtually Staged. Thoughtfully updated while reflecting its mid-century character, this 1969-built home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1, 958 square feet of living space on a fenced 0.65-acre lot with no HOA. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac to the nearby Three Parks Trail, the home is approximately 0.6 miles from Lake Hollingsworth. Located in Flood Zone X, it combines timeless architectural appeal with modern updates, a private in-ground pool, and flexible floor plan. The remodeled kitchen (2019) blends mid-century style with modern function, featuring quartz countertops, a waterfall-edge breakfast bar, pull-out cabinet drawers, engineered hardwood flooring, and a pantry. A pass-through window connects the kitchen to the Florida room, creating flexible space for casual dining, a coffee station, or entertaining. Both bathrooms were remodeled in 2017. The layout includes a formal living room, formal dining room, and a spacious family room with a wood-burning fireplace, custom floating shelves, and built-in cabinetry. Major improvements include a new roof (2016), a 3.5-ton 15 SEER heat pump (2017), pool resurfacing (2017), pool pump replacement (2022), and water heater replacement (2021). Additional features include plantation shutters in the primary bedroom and family room, public water and sewer, an attached two-car garage, an outdoor shower, and a Tuff Storage Shed. The fenced backyard is a true highlight, offering a spacious patio, mature oak trees, established Florida native and tropical landscaping, and two raised garden beds. An edible landscape includes peach, loquat, banana, navel orange, and Barbados cherry trees, pineapple plants, and sweet potato vines, creating a backyard that’s both beautiful and productive. Just minutes from downtown Lakeland, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and Lake Hollingsworth, this home offers a rare combination of architectural character, thoughtful updates, exceptional outdoor living, and an outstanding location.
