About this home
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked away on a dead-end street in Winter Haven, this spacious lakefront home on Lake Buckeye offers almost 2,400 square feet of living space, a private dock, and a rare combination of privacy, character, and major updates. Situated on over 1/3 of an acre, the property features low traffic, peaceful waterfront views, and a fenced backyard area for pets or animals. Inside, you’ll find a massive living room with triple sliding glass doors overlooking the lake, a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace, and beautiful wood ceilings that create a warm lakeside atmosphere. All 4 bedrooms are positioned on one side of the home, while the oversized living and entertaining areas maximize the waterfront setting and provide excellent flexibility for future remodeling or customization. Major improvements include a metal roof (2019), HVAC system (2016), water heater (2018), upgraded double-pane storm-resistant windows (2010), re-piped plumbing, septic pumped in July 2025, new drain field installed in 2025, and refrigerator replaced in 2023. Lake Buckeye provides a more private setting with fewer homes on the lake while still providing public boat ramp access. Conveniently located a few miles from downtown Winter Haven and only about a mile from Polk State College, this property combines waterfront living, space, and long-term value in a highly convenient location.
