Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Lakeland
Listing Price: $574,000
Description of Property
BACK ON MARKET (buyer financing fell through — no fault of the home). Come tour and make it yours. Welcome Home! This custom-designed two-story home has been lovingly maintained and is nestled on an oversized, shaded corner lot in the highly desirable Country Oaks neighborhood of Lakeland. Ideally located just minutes from golf courses, shopping, top-rated schools, churches, medical facilities, and with convenient access to I-4 for an easy commute to Tampa or Orlando. From the moment you arrive, the inviting circle driveway and thoughtfully landscaped yard—accented by uplighting at night—set the tone for what’s inside. Step through the front door into a warm and welcoming space featuring soaring 16-foot ceilings, natural wood walls, and slate tile flooring in the great room. Rich engineered hardwood floors flow throughout the rest of the home. On the first floor, you’ll find the primary bedroom suite with a custom-designed walk-in closet and a spacious ensuite bathroom. A second bedroom—currently used as a home office—is also located on the main level, along with a half bath that offers direct access to the pool area. The laundry room includes built-in cabinetry and a utility sink for added convenience. The spacious kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, cabinet pull-outs, and a breakfast nook that overlooks the screened pool and paver patio. A formal dining room with a charming bay window completes the first floor. The wood staircase at the entrance leads to the second floor, where you'll find two separate loft areas offering flexible living space—ideal for entertaining, studying, or creating a private office or library. Two generously sized bedrooms, each with their own bathroom and custom walk-in closet, are also located upstairs. Outside, the heated pool—resurfaced, retiled, and re-screened in 2022—sits within an enclosed paver patio and deck. Just beyond the screen enclosure is an additional paver patio, perfect for grilling, entertaining, or relaxing around a fire pit. The oversized and deep three-car garage includes a spacious workshop and a utility sink/counter area for easy clean-ups. Hurricane-rated garage doors were installed in 2022. Behind two 10-foot-wide privacy gates, you'll find a 10x30 aluminum-covered parking area—ideal for RV or boat storage. Additional highlights include a roof replacement in 2012, two newer A/C units (installed in 2016 and 2020), and a voluntary annual HOA. With countless custom features throughout, this exceptional home offers a rare combination of quality, comfort, and versatility. Come see it for yourself—this is the one you’ve been waiting for!
