PRICE IMPROVEMENT For the love of sunrise and sunset views, Florida waterfront living at 725 Peninsular Dr in Lakeland, Florida can feel like an endless vacation. Welcome to this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage home perfectly positioned on a peninsula street with expansive water views and a tranquil setting. The appeal of natural Florida can be found in the Christina neighborhood where unique homes sit among the mature oak trees, rolling terrain and scenic lake views. Imagine waking up to a breathtaking sunrise over the lake in your backyard every single day. You can feel the gentle lake breeze and hear the sounds of birds singing as you sip your favorite drink from the rocking chair on your screened porch. After taking in the mesmerizing view, you can launch a kayak, a paddleboard or boat with an electric motor from your seawall and private dock to get a closer look at the native wildlife or cast a fishing line in search of the wide mouth bass. Unpaved hiking, mountain bike trails, dog park, skate park, sports fields and golf are all a short drive away. Inside this two story home, the spacious great room features soaring ceilings and a cozy gas fireplace. Triple, pocket sliding glass doors open wide to let the breeze blow in from the screened porch. The galley style kitchen features a bay window with casual dining space for sunset views over the lake across the street at the front of the house. The kitchen’s raised countertop for barstools and great room give you additional space for dining. The downstairs primary bedroom suite provides a relaxing retreat with sunrise lake views, a private bath featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, dual-sink vanity and a generous walk-in closet. A convenient half bath is a few steps down the hall from the great room.

A large laundry room with utility sink, extra storage space and a washer and dryer that stays with the house is located next to the oversized garage. Outside, mature landscaping enhances the home's curb appeal while the irrigation system draws water directly from the lake reducing utility costs.
