INCREDIBLE CHARM! SPACIOUS CORNER CUL-DE-SAC LOT! The unmistakable feel of Southern charm and hospitality welcomes you to this beautifully maintained two-story residence in Lakeland! Featuring the look of a rustic wood cabin and surrounded by a shaded yard with mature grand oaks, it draws you immediately with strong curb appeal and a strong sense of tranquility and privacy. Step up to the inviting front porch and imagine relaxing with friends or enjoying lemonade on sunny afternoons! A single entry with side glass windows leads inside from the porch to the foyer that boasts a coat closet. From here, step over to the living room that showcases gleaming laminate floors, neutrally painted walls and sliding glass doors to the lanai/pool. In this well-designed layout, the living room separates the kitchen from the downstairs master suite, which now serves as a workout area. The formal dining room continues the laminate floors of the living area and enjoys abundant natural light brought in through the bay window. Enjoy everyday cooking in the bright, lighted kitchen, which provides ample work and storage space with its sleek counters, wood cabinets and stainless steel double sink beneath a slider window to the lanai.

From here, you have an open view through to the family room, which accesses the dining room as well! Filled with laminate floors, this family room offers two upgraded fans, a double French glass door to the lanai and a wood-burning fireplace that warms the room both physically and aesthetically. What was designated as the official main-level master suite has been used as a workout room, but it would be easy to covert if you'd like. The full master bathroom is a private space with a Jacuzzi tub, a stand-alone shower and twin sinks at the vanity. The value in this home's layout only continues upstairs! A stairway leads up from the entryway to the second level's loft, a great bonus space loaded with potential for a variety of uses!
