One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. This is an incredible and rare opportunity to own a beautiful custom POOL home on 1.24 acres of land in South Lakeland with NO HOA - affording you freedom and privacy, in a convenient and sought after location! Upon entering the property through its private gate, you will immediately appreciate the excellent curb appeal created by attractive paint colors, stone accents, manicured landscaping, potted plants and a fountain. At night, this is further enhanced by uplighting to illuminate the front elevation. This home has a flexible floor plan, including 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, an office, and a bonus room - perfect for a game room, second living area, or it even could be used to serve multi-generational needs! From the foyer, you are greeted by an office, which also could serve a variety of purposes. The options with the layout of this home are truly endless, and can change as needed, for years to come! The welcoming family room has a fireplace and french doors out to the pool. This leads to the tastefully updated kitchen, where no detail was overlooked in the course of its remodel! The kitchen has it all - upgraded stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, wood cabinetry with sliding drawers and pantry, backsplash, and under cabinet lighting. The breakfast bar overlooks the living area, creating a nice open space at the heart of the home. There is a casual dinette in the kitchen, and also a formal dining room for sit-down meals. A luxurious and well-designed primary suite is comprised of an oversized bedroom, walk-in closet, a convenient laundry room (washer/dryer included!), and an en-suite bathroom with a stylish tiled shower and dual sinks. On the other side of the home, there is a full bathroom and three very spacious bedrooms, one of which has a luxury epoxy flooring - great for a home gym or play room! As you continue further into the home, there is a large flex room with many options for use to suit your needs! This amazing space includes a walk-in closet, a wet bar with sink, refrigerator and ice maker, a french door leading to the porch/pool, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in shower. If you enjoy entertaining, you are going to love the lanai, which features an outdoor kitchen complete with grill, Green Egg, sink and storage. Sandstone pavers and a screened enclosure surround the heated sports pool and 8-person spa with LED lights. Out back there is a wonderful fully fenced yard, with an outbuilding that has water and electric. A 2-car garage, carport and long driveway provide ample space to park your vehicles and toys! This home is being sold with an air compressor, security camera system and a water softener/aerator included. Tucked away near the end of a quiet dead-end street, this home is located in one of the area’s best kept secrets! Here you will feel like you are away from it all, yet you are just minutes from I4 and the Polk Parkway, as well as various local restaurants, shops and recreation. Lakeland is a growing area of Central Florida, situated between Tampa and Orlando, making it easy to frequent the many popular theme parks, attractions, resorts and beaches that make living in the Sunshine State a dream come true!
