Welcome to the heart of Lakeland! Just steps from Lake Hollingsworth and set along a charming brick street shaded by mature trees, this updated home captures the perfect blend of character and convenience. Relax with a glass of sweet tea on the inviting rocking-chair front porch before stepping inside to discover a light, bright, and open floor plan. Offering 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a desirable split layout, the home features a spacious great room, a formal living room, and a kitchen/dining combination perfect for gatherings. The updated kitchen shines with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and timeless details like crown moulding, chair rail, and gleaming wood floors. The private primary suite is a true retreat, boasting new custom built-ins, a fully updated ensuite bath with granite counters, walk-in shower, and an organized walk-in closet. The hall bath also impresses with a brand-new vanity and plenty of storage. Outdoors, the entertainment-sized backyard is designed for Florida living—lush landscaping, a white privacy fence, and both a brick paver patio and a separate stone seating area offer multiple spots for entertaining. A she-shed/man cave with 252 sq ft plus A/C and electric is ideal for a home office, studio, or hobby space. Practical updates include new windows (2025), a new electrical panel, and a new AC (2025). Parking is a breeze with a circular front drive plus an additional side driveway. All this in the sought-after Cleveland Heights area—central to shopping, dining, schools, golf, and all that Lakeland has to offer.
