Perfectly positioned on the lakefront, this spacious 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home features two primary suites, making it an ideal setup for multigenerational living, hosting out-of-town guests, or simply enjoying extra room to breathe. Located in a quiet, established neighborhood in the heart of Lakeland, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and peace of mind for the long term. A thoughtfully updated open-concept layout includes two dining areas, dual laundry rooms, and a generously sized kitchen—renovated in 2016—with ample cabinetry, expansive countertops, and beautiful lake views. Step outside and your own private retreat awaits. The screened-in pool area (resurfaced in 2018) features a paver patio, an electric pool heater for year-round swimming, and a 2017 ThermoSpas hot tub—perfect for relaxing evenings on the covered back porch. Built with both comfort and durability in mind, the home boasts a double-layer roof (added over the existing roof in 2018), a brand-new A/C and air handler (2023), a refurbished secondary unit, and a Quantum Dual Remote whole-house air sterilizer installed in 2024. Solar panels power the water heater, and the home benefits from an upgraded electrical system, windows, plumbing, a termite protection plan, and monthly service from Orkin. The fully fenced backyard features shade trees and gates on both sides for easy access. For RV owners, a dedicated parking pad with electric and water hookups is already in place. Hurricane prep is hassle-free with stored plywood and tap cons on hand. Whether you're searching for a forever home, a multigenerational solution, or a serene lakeside getaway, this property offers an unmatched combination of natural beauty, thoughtful upgrades, and everyday practicality—all just minutes from downtown Lakeland, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes.
