Description

If you are looking for a very clean, updated and expansive, south Lakeland, move in ready home, in a quiet and sought after neighborhood, that is located near shopping, restaurants and great schools, then, welcome home! As you enter you will fall in the love with the real wood, wide plank flooring that is in much of the home. This is a traditional, ranch style floor plan design with upgrades. The front living room is ideal for tea times, book clubs, gatherings or a work at home office. The formal dining room is right off the kitchen, making catering your family celebration easy and convenient. The gorgeous, updated, gourmet kitchen has ample granite countertop space for bakers and those who like to cook, and has an eat in are perfect for casual meal, homework and school projects. The laundry room is large, has built in cabinets with a folding area, and built in storage at one end. There is also a half bath off of the laundry, by the garage, so you don't have to walk through the entire home to take a potty-break. The great room is large, and currently shows how you can have three distinct spaces and uses arranged into one space. The bedrooms are privately tucked away at the end of the right side of the home. The master suite is quite something. There are two walk in closets that wrap around the secondary vanity. These are across the hall from the upgraded bathroom with granite tops, WC, built in shelving, and large, walk in shower with frameless door. The master bedroom has plenty of space for your king sized bed and other furniture. The forth bedroom is currently an office with a lockable double door to the master. Bedrooms two and three are a good size with one having a walk in closet. The hall bathroom is larger than usual. There are two vanities, which are split, a WC, shower and tub combo and storage closet. This home has a private gate (use a remote to enter) that leads to an oversized rear entry garage, which makes the front home design very appealing from the road. There are a couple of storage rooms inside the garage for tools and equipment as well. Winter evenings are well spent on the covered and screened rear patio, and for those with pets, the yard is fenced, and there is an extra dog run on the side (currently the gate is stored in the garage). You will see that the sellers have enjoyed the private back yard, and that there is more than enough space for play equipment, or a future pool. Don't miss out, this home will not last long. *** UPDATES and MAINTENANCE: New roof 2017. AC is regularly serviced and in good working condition.
