Under contract-accepting backup offers. Wait until you pull up to this fully restored 3 bedroom (plus bonus room), 2.5 bath, historic beauty located in the heart of Lakeland (but just outside of the restrictive historic district). As soon as you arrive you'll notice the white picket fence, Queen Anne-style wraparound front porch, and detached 2 car garage/workshop with power, lighting, fans, and built-in storage. Blending vintage charm with modern upgrades. Upgrades include full fencing, insurance-cost saving wind mitigation protections, Kevlar hurricane shutters, a 50A generator transfer switch (including the new DuroMax dual-fuel generator), along with a massive cosmetic restoration and overhaul. The property is located just one block from the new Southwest middle School and close to Lake Hollingsworth, downtown, shops (Southgate shopping center is a walkable distance), parks, schools, and more. All work was performed with quality and long-term living in mind. There's also a private and fully fenced in back yard with a hot tub and green house. Roof 2018, HVAC 2013
