Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Lakeland
Listing Price: $919,000
Description of Property
This exceptional, executive-style, custom-built pool home is located in the highly sought-after Highlands by the Lake neighborhood in South Lakeland, offering luxurious living in a prime location. Enjoy peaceful views of Banana Lake right across the street, a tranquil cul-de-sac setting, and the added privacy and security of a gated community featuring a clubhouse, pool, tennis and pickleball courts. You’ll be proud to call both this home and neighborhood your own. From the moment you arrive, you will appreciate the meticulous attention to detail that defines this home— from its impressive curb appeal, manicured lawn, and landscaping to the soaring, stately entryway. Inside, discover a pristine interior adorned with elegant design upgrades such as crown molding, plank-style tile flooring, transom windows, and high ceilings. The triple-split floor plan offers generous living spaces, abundant storage, and a layout perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The first floor includes formal and informal living and dining areas, a spacious open kitchen, four bedrooms, and a dedicated office (with a closet, easily used as a fifth bedroom). The primary suite is comprised of a large bedroom with double-tray ceilings and French doors leading to the pool, plus a spa-like en-suite bathroom with two walk-in closets, separate vanities, a large tiled shower, soaking tub and water closet. Upstairs, you will find an oversized bonus room with a dry bar, half bathroom and an additional flex room for a second office, hobby area or storage. At the heart of the home lies the remodeled chef’s kitchen, featuring quartz countertops with a flush-mount sink, high-end stainless steel appliances, and a large island overlooking the family room. Custom cabinetry with pull-out shelves, two pantries (closet and cabinet), and built-in storage in the dinette area provide excellent functionality. The stone-accented fireplace adds cozy charm year-round in the Family room, which also features peaceful views and easy access to the pool area. Outdoor living is a true highlight of this home, with a paver-style porch surrounding the recently resurfaced private pool. A half "pool" bathroom and storage closet offer additional convenience, and the covered porch space provides shade and comfort. No detail was overlooked in the floor plan of this home — even the laundry room offers wonderful storage space and includes a washer, dryer, and freezer. The side-loading 3-car garage has a workshop area and added depth, offering ample parking space and an extended driveway for guests. Additional upgrades include energy-efficient double-pane windows, a central vacuum system, and tastefully updated bathrooms throughout the home. Conveniently located just minutes from top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and the upcoming hospital, with easy access to the Polk Parkway, this home offers an elevated lifestyle in a prime location, with a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, function and style.
