Description of Property
Seller is motivated and open to reasonable offers, including potential seller concessions depending on terms. This well-built, custom-designed two-story home offers a warm mountain-lodge feel with a solid concrete block exterior and sits on an oversized, shaded corner lot in Lakeland’s highly desirable Country Oaks neighborhood. A half-circle driveway framed by beautiful, mature oak trees creates a peaceful, welcoming first impression. Inside, the home is rich with character and craftsmanship. Alaskan cedar plank walls bring natural warmth and durability while helping deter termites, giving the interior a cozy lodge-like atmosphere. The great room features soaring 16-foot ceilings, slate tile flooring, and an open, inviting space that feels both grand and comfortable. Rich engineered hardwood floors flow throughout the rest of the home. The first-floor primary suite is a private retreat with a custom walk-in closet, spacious ensuite bath, and direct access to the pool and spa—perfect for enjoying a morning swim or a quiet evening soak. A second main-level bedroom works beautifully as a home office, guest room, or nursery. You’ll also find a convenient half bath with direct pool access and a laundry room with built-in cabinetry and a utility sink. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, cabinet pull-outs, and a breakfast nook overlooking the screened pool and paver patio—ideal for morning coffee or casual meals. A formal dining room with a charming bay window completes the main level. Upstairs, a striking wood staircase leads to two separate loft areas, offering flexible space for a media room, study area, library, or cozy reading nook. The generously sized upstairs bedrooms each feature their own bathroom and custom walk-in closet, making them ideal for use as a second primary suite, multigenerational living, or long-term guests. A rare and highly desirable layout. Step outside to your private retreat featuring a heated pool and spa (resurfaced, retiled, and re-screened in 2022), paver patio, deck, and additional outdoor space beyond the enclosure—perfect for entertaining, grilling, or relaxing around a fire pit under the trees. The oversized, deep 3-car garage includes a workshop area and utility sink/counter space. Hurricane-rated garage doors (2022) add peace of mind. Behind two 10-foot-wide privacy gates, a 10x30 aluminum-covered parking area provides ideal space for RV or boat storage. Additional updates include a roof replacement (2012) and two A/C units (2016 & 2020). The HOA is voluntary with an annual option. With its mountain-lodge charm, quality construction, and thoughtful layout, this home offers a rare blend of comfort, craftsmanship, and character.
