You won't believe these views!!! Situated on a .39 acre lot with amazing private wooded views, this picturesque traditional home has so many hard-to-find features, you really have to see it to believe! Located on a cul-de-sac in a wonderful South Lakeland neighborhood, this former model home boasts amazing curb appeal, with a crisp front elevation, covered front porch with swing, gorgeous landscaping and a well-manicured lawn. A welcoming and open foyer greets you as you enter through the cheerful front door. You will immediately notice the care and attention to detail throughout, with fresh paint, updated LVP flooring, and newer fixtures. To the left there is a large formal dining room with chair railing and access to the kitchen. As you move into the living room, you will be impressed by the attractive wood-burning fireplace with mantle and the beautiful french doors leading to the back porch. Step outside and you will be amazed! With a covered back porch, attractive landscaping, a beautiful stone patio with fire pit, and a large back yard, all overlooking a peaceful wooded area, here you will enjoy entertaining, gardening, bird watching, and special time with your loved ones. You can also enjoy the views of this area from all of the upstairs bedrooms and from the kitchen sink. The kitchen is large and open, serving as the true heart of this home. Nicely updated with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, you will appreciate the ample storage space in the solid wood cabinets, the pantry, and the built-in desk. The island serves as a central gathering spot, with seating on both sides; there is also additional space for dining in the eat-in dinette area. There is a half bathroom conveniently located downstairs, as well as an interior laundry room with sink and washer/dryer included. New carpet was recently installed on the stairs and the second floor. Upstairs there are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a loft. The master bedroom’s vaulted ceilings make the room feel very open and bright. There are two walk-in closets, and the private en-suite bathroom has dual sinks, granite countertops, a soaking tub, standing shower, linen closet and water closet. The loft area provides a secondary living space that could also function well as a play area, office space, or game room. This area is quiet and removed from the rest of the living areas of the home, yet central to the master bedroom, the other two bedrooms, and the second full bathroom. This home has excellent storage throughout, and has been lovingly maintained. The floor plan is very functional and well-designed. Not only does it make efficient use of space to create comfortable areas for living and entertaining, but it does so while maximizing the back yard views and letting in amazing natural light throughout. Simply put, this house feels like home! With a central location, easy access to Polk Parkway and Bartow Highway, and excellent schools, you will love living in this popular area of South Lakeland, yet you will enjoy the best of both worlds -- as your back yard will make you feel like you are far away from it all!
