About this home
This charming 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home is situated on a spacious lot and offers a variety of valuable upgrades and features. The home includes a newer HVAC system (2022), whole-house water filtration system (2023), and water heater (2023), providing peace of mind for major systems. A brand-new, larger septic system was installed in 2025, allowing for future expansion of the home. Interior updates include new tile flooring in the kitchen, dining room, living room, and one bedroom, while the exterior was freshly painted in 2024 and features durable Hardie board soffits. The property boasts a fully fenced backyard, front yard irrigation system, and a variety of mature fruit trees including Meyer lemon, grapefruit, navel orange, avocado, and banana. An outdoor building is currently used for storage but will require some work. Additionally, the owners have plans drawn for a potential bedroom and bathroom addition, which can be provided to the new buyer—offering excellent opportunity for customization and growth. Please schedule your showing today!
Local Insight
This 1957 home is priced well below Lakeland's median at $233/sqft, which signals either solid value or that it'll need some work—the single bathroom and modest square footage are real constraints for a growing family, so you're essentially buying a starter home or investment property in a stable neighborhood with no HOA. The X flood zone is a genuine plus since it means no mandatory flood insurance, and you're in Sunshine Estates near the city's economic core, but the age and layout mean a serious inspection and realistic budget for updates should be non-negotiable before making an offer.
