Description of Property

Mediterranean Revival residence blends historic architecture with modern updates, creating a rare offering in the heart of Winter Haven. Just across from Lake Cannon and near Lake Mirror on the scenic Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, this home embraces the character of a Spanish bungalow while offering the comfort and livability of thoughtful renovation. The neighborhood itself is steeped in charm, with beautifully maintained older homes, tree-lined streets, and refreshing lake breezes that make evening strolls especially enjoyable as you take in the architecture and picturesque water views. Curb appeal is undeniable with a textured stucco exterior, arched windows, and an oversized double lot shaded by mature trees and old Florida palms. A covered two-car carport, new concrete driveway, and professional landscaping with St. Augustine sod and irrigation set the tone for what awaits inside. Upon entry, the formal living room greets you with Saltillo tile floors, a beadboard ceiling, and arched windows framing the lush front yard. Nearby, the family room provides a warm retreat with a coved ceiling, original hardwood floors, and a gas-burning brick fireplace that invites both quiet evenings and lively gatherings. Tucked discreetly off this space, a computer nook offers a dedicated corner for work or study. The formal dining room is rich with historic detail, showcasing softly curved ceilings, arched transitions, and corner built-in cabinets with glass doors. In the kitchen, past and present meet seamlessly with wood cabinetry, soft-close drawers, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry with laundry connections. Three bedrooms and two baths complete the interior, including a primary suite with French doors that open directly onto the patio, extending the living space outdoors. Both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with marble, porcelain, and ceramic tile, new vanities, and updated fixtures, maintaining period charm while providing modern comfort. The outdoor areas are just as appealing, with a rear patio overlooking a private backyard ideal for entertaining, gardening or relaxing. For hobbies or storage, a detached 18x19 workshop with roll-up door, electricity, and concrete slab is well suited to woodworking, automotive projects, or boat storage. Extensive updating gives peace of mind: a new roof with 30-year shingles, updated plumbing and electrical systems, new HVAC units with ductwork, refinished hardwood floors, replastered and retextured walls, remodeled kitchen and baths, and fresh interior and exterior paint. Additional improvements include Tiffany-style fans and period lighting, and a newly installed well-fed sprinkler system. With city water and city sewer, the home is as functional as it is beautiful. Conveniently located minutes from downtown Winter Haven, shopping, dining, schools and medical facilities, and with easy access to the Polk Parkway for commutes to Lakeland, Tampa, or Orlando, the property also offers quick access to boat ramps on the Chain of Lakes for fishing, boating, and waterfront dining. For those who appreciate historic homes, Spanish bungalows, and Mediterranean Revival architecture, this home is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly restored residence where character and modern comfort come together seamlessly.The average asking price for a 3 bedroom/2 bath single family residence in this Zip code is $305,719.
