Residential Property - Single Family Residence in Winter Haven
Listing Price: $643,000
Description of Property
The owners remodeled their dream home, then took a promotion to a new city… their loss is your gain. Located just a few miles from the Polk Parkway and convenient to both Lakeland and Winter Haven, this spacious, newly remodeled home boasts an open floor plan that is perfect for a modern lifestyle. Step into an entryway that overlooks a large dining room, a beautifully updated eat-in kitchen, and an expansive family room that leads to a newly resurfaced, screened-in pool with a new pool heater, a professional outdoor kitchen (stainless steel BBQ, sink, mini-fridge, and kegerator) with covered seating, and a large naturally landscaped backyard with new sod—this well-designed home is move-in ready for the best of worry-free Florida living. It’s perfect for entertaining but has plenty of spaces for quiet reflection over a cup of coffee or glass of wine. Sitting on 3/4 of an acre that backs up to a greenbelt in the established Shadow Wood neighborhood, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom home features a large primary with updated ensuite and walk-in closet, a second bedroom with a full bath just down the hall, and an attached apartment perfect for multigenerational living or for rental income. The newly built apartment (2024) can be configured as a studio or can access the 3rd bedroom in the main home, and includes a full kitchen with custom island, handicap-accessible shower, walk-in closet, and laundry room with a separate front entrance and back porch, plus a sidewalk leading to the pool and lovely yard. The fully fenced (new in 2023) yard features beautiful oak trees (regularly maintained by an arborist) along with other native, flowering flora that attract rabbits, squirrels, hawks, birds, and butterflies. The backyard also includes a large workshop with a garage door and a second storage shed with multiple uses. The property stays green year-round with a sprinkler system sourced by a private well (pump replaced in 2025). The house offers an attached 2-car garage with a new garage door installed in 2023 and new gutters for added protection and maintenance ease. Additional updates include new tile flooring throughout the main house with water-resistant laminate flooring in the apartment. Freshly painted interior walls with new baseboards. The new kitchen (2025) features custom cabinets, two custom islands (including a high-top breakfast bar), quartz countertops, and all new stainless appliances. The pool and deck were resurfaced and painted in 2024, the new pool heater added in 2025, and the pool pump replaced in 2025. There are two new central HVAC units (one replaced in 2022 and one in 2025). The apartment has a new split-unit AC, custom cabinets and island with granite countertops, and bespoke appliances. Seller is offering a home warranty.
