About this home
Historic Lake Morton Charmer Just Steps from the Lakes and Downtown! Nestled on a picturesque brick one-way street in the highly desirable Lake Morton Historic District, this charming 1925 shotgun bungalow offers the perfect blend of historic character and modern convenience. With 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, and 988 heated square feet of living space, this home is ideally located just a short stroll from Lake Morton, Lake Hollingsworth, Florida Southern College, downtown Lakeland, the Lakeland Public Library, The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, local dining, coffee shops, and neighborhood favorites including Black and Brew, The Peach House, Mr. Fish, and Mootown Scoops plus a handy convenience/deli store and laundry right around the corner. Light, bright, and full of character, the home showcases original architectural details including oak wood floors, crown molding, shiplap accents, beadboard, and decorative wood trim throughout. The formal living and dining rooms are separated by a gas fireplace and both feature built-in shelving, creating warm and inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen offers white raised-panel cabinetry, a gas range, quartz counters, and a stainless-steel appliance package. The spacious primary bedroom features shiplap walls, built-in storage, shelving, and a separate sitting area, creating a cozy retreat. The second bedroom is perfect for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Outdoor living is equally inviting with a 19x25 rocking-chair front porch complete with stone columns and ceiling fans—an ideal spot for morning coffee or relaxing in the evening. A screened 6x17 rear porch includes washer and dryer hookups and overlooks the private backyard enclosed by a white picket fence. Additional features include two driveways—one in the front and one accessed from the alley—providing ample off-street parking. The rear of the property includes a covered parking area attached to a versatile detached structure that could serve as a studio, flex space, she-shed, man cave, workshop, or hobby room, plus an additional 7x10 storage shed. Fresh exterior paint, updated landscaping, mature shade trees, upgraded plumbing, and a Vivint security system add to the home's appeal. Major updates include a roof replaced in 2023/2024, a gas water heater approximately 5–6 years old, and a 2015 A/C system that has been regularly serviced by Alexander Air. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained piece of Lakeland history in one of the city's most walkable and sought-after neighborhoods.
