PRICED BELOW appraised value (5-4-26). **“Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and set on over half an acre, this exceptional Lakeland residence offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and thoughtful upgrades—creating a home that feels as solid as it does inviting. From the moment you arrive, the charming brick exterior, welcoming front porch, and peaceful setting set the tone for what’s inside. With over 3,000 square feet, the home unfolds into multiple living spaces designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining, highlighted by a stunning fireplace room that instantly draws you in. The layout flows seamlessly into an expansive enclosed patio, where oversized sliding glass doors extend your living space and create the perfect environment for gatherings or quiet evenings at home. Step outside and experience your own private retreat. The saltwater pool and spa—just 4 years old—offer the ideal balance of relaxation and entertainment, all surrounded by the calm and privacy of a cul-de-sac setting. A recently built deck (1.5 years) with hurricane straps adds both function and peace of mind. Inside, the home has been carefully maintained and updated where it matters most. A brand-new AC (2026), newer roof and windows (~10 years), and high-efficiency double-hung 4000DH insulated windows with PPG Solarban 70 Low-E glass and Argon gas provide comfort and energy efficiency year-round. All appliances are approximately 3 years old, with a newer microwave less than a year old. Two bathrooms have been tastefully updated within the last five years, and new ceiling fans have been installed throughout the home. The wood-burning fireplace has also been recently cleaned (2 years), ready to enjoy. With five bedrooms and generous living areas, this home offers flexibility for large families, multigenerational living, or those needing dedicated work-from-home space. And then there’s the feature that truly sets this property apart—an impressive, fully insulated 800+ square foot detached shop with electricity. Whether you're running a business, creating a workshop, building a home gym, or simply need serious additional space, this structure delivers possibilities rarely found. A high-ceiling garage adds even more versatility, perfect for larger vehicles or work trucks. This is more than just a home—it’s a place where space works for you, upgrades give you confidence, and every detail supports the way you want to live.”**
