Description

This expansive mid-century pool home, built in 1957, is full of character, space, and endless possibilities in one of South Lakeland’s most desirable in-town locations. Situated on a beautifully shaded and private .79-acre lot, this well-loved family home offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3,326 square feet of living area, and the kind of timeless architectural details rarely found today.

Designed for both everyday living and large family gatherings, the home features oversized formal living and dining rooms, a spacious family room, and a flexible bonus space ideal for a home office, library, workout area, or den. Two wood-burning fireplaces, built-in bookcases, plaster walls, wood flooring in select bedrooms, and original mid-century details throughout create a warm and nostalgic atmosphere.

Secondary bedrooms are generously sized and filled with character, including built-in closets with additional overhead storage and a vintage Jack-and-Jill bath featuring an original Roman-style step-in shower with built-in seating.

The generously sized primary suite features two large cedar-lined walk-in closets and an ensuite bath with abundant storage, retro flocked wallpaper, and a unique Roman-style step-in bath and shower complete with dual built-in seats and glass doors. French doors from both the primary suite, the dining room and formal living room open to the pool and private backyard, filling the home with natural light and peaceful views of the mature landscaping and shady trees beyond.

The kitchen retains its original knotty pine cabinetry and vintage charm, complete with a pass-through window to the massive formal dining room featuring crown moulding with gold leaf accents, chair railing, an original retro chandelier, and three pocket doors designed to provide added privacy between living spaces. The washer and dryer, conveniently located in the kitchen, will stay for the buyer’s convenience.

A detached guest suite with private bedroom and bath is connected to the main home by a covered and screened breezeway, offering potential for guests, multi-generational living, studio space, or a private office. Beneath the detached guest suite is an unfinished basement/storage area that experiences water intrusion during heavy rain and will require repair, but offers additional storage or workshop potential rarely found in Florida homes.

Outside, the inground fiberglass pool and expansive backyard provide a wonderful foundation for creating your own outdoor retreat. Additional features include a side-entry covered carport, additional parking pad, extensive storage throughout, and a prime location within walking distance of Lake Hollingsworth, local schools, the YMCA, shopping, dining, and everything that makes Lakeland so special.

This property will require updating and repairs and is being sold as-is, but the opportunity to restore, renovate, or reimagine this spacious mid-century home in such a sought-after location is truly rare.
