Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Lakeland
Listing Price: $529,900
Description of Property
Step into a piece of Lakeland's history with this beautifully updated 1926 Craftsman home situated on an oversized (almost 1/2 acre) lot in the highly sought after Lakeland Highlands area. Located in an established neighborhood with NO HOA, it is close in proximity to the Polk Parkway, Medical Facilities, Schools and Shopping. Blending classic charm with modern updates, this inviting, 3BR/2.5 Bath home was recently updated with over $70,000 in solar panels to provide whole house electric. These panels are not leased--they were purchased by the seller and will be paid for in full by the seller at closing. The charm of the Craftsman is apparent throughout beginning with the refinished wood flooring and heart pine trim. The formal living room is complimented by a wood burning fireplace and opens to a screened porch. Adjacent to the living room is a beautiful sunroom showcasing an abundance of natural light and a half bath. This "bonus" room would make a great office or additional bedroom. The separate dining room has an original built-in cabinet as does the expansive, 18x17, eat-in kitchen. The updated kitchen is truly a "working" kitchen featuring exposed shelving and beams, marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a separate cooking island with sink. The primary suite includes a large, remodeled primary bath with a walk-in shower. The large bath area was constructed from what once was a wrap around porch and also includes a dressing area with closet. An additional 27x12 balcony provides a great place to expand your outdoor entertainment along with another lower-level deck which overlooks the backyard. And while the back yard is certainly large enough to add a pool if desired, it's truly amazing and currently is an orchard featuring a variety of fruit trees. The detached one-car garage along with the one-car carport provide additional flexibility. With thousands of dollars in upgrades, to say that this home has been lovingly maintained is an understatement. Other major upgrades include: HVAC Units - 2017 & 18; Replumbed in 2017-18; Complete Electrical Rewire-2017; New Septic and Drain Field-2017; New Double Pane Windows- 2021; New Roof - 2021; New Solar Panels for Whole House Electric - 2022. Priced below appraisal, this timeless beauty is a true "must see".
