This beautiful custom-built POOL home has an amazing central location, right down the street from Lakeland’s beloved Lake Hollingsworth! Built in 2002, this home offers modern conveniences that can be difficult to find in this area of town, such as a 2-car garage, ample closet space and a large en-suite master bathroom. A circle driveway and crisp exterior with nice landscaping make an excellent first impression. As you enter the home, you will appreciate the gorgeous wood floors, banister and columns, as well as the crown molding, transom windows, French doors and handmade valances. Illuminated by natural light and paint colors, the formal dining and living room are warm and welcoming. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry with stained glass detail, a hood over the gas range, and a walk-in pantry. Overlooking the family room, the breakfast bar provides extra seating for dining, and creates an open area for entertaining. The oversized family has a gas fireplace and access to the back porch. There is also a half bath near the patio doors, which is convenient for guests and pool days! Upstairs there is a wonderful master suite, comprised of a spacious bedroom with soft lighting and tray ceilings, an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, and an attached bonus room with sink and wet-bar (perfect for exercise, a home office, or overflow storage). The master bathroom is well designed, with dual sinks, a jetted tub, water closet and walk-in tiled shower. A full bathroom and two additional bedrooms are upstairs, both of which are of good size. This home is very well maintained, with a great floor plan and ample closet/storage throughout. There is a downstairs interior laundry room with sink and cabinets, extra storage and a workshop area in the garage, and even a 10x10 exterior storage area for pool and gardening supplies. Outside is your own private piece of Florida paradise, with a paver patio, saltwater pool, and a mature hedge to provide privacy. This is surrounded by a fully fenced yard with a dog run, and a well-manicured lawn with gardens. High quality windows and insulation provide peace and quiet inside of this home, and there are speakers inside and on the back porch for your musical pleasure. This home has extra driveway space for parking, and a garage door that is 8’ tall, to accommodate larger vehicles. Lake Hollingsworth is a popular area for on-the-water recreation such as paddle boarding and boating, as well as walking, running and cycling around the almost 3 mile path. Living here provides a great quality of life, as everything you need - grocery, shopping, medical, parks, golf, restaurants, and more - is located just minutes away. You also have very easy access to Polk Parkway and I-4, so you can make the most of Lakeland’s central location near Tampa, Orlando and popular beaches. If you are searching for a home that is high quality, with one-of-a-kind finishes, and a fantastic location, this is an incredible opportunity to have it all!
