About This Property
Improved Price! Welcome to this extensively updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with IN-LAW suite in Lakeland, Florida! On MOL .80 acre corner lot with NO HOA, this thoughtfully improved and meticulously maintained, this property offers modern comfort, versatility, and long-term peace of mind. Inside the main home (1,558 heated sq ft), you’ll find a stylish kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances with a gas range, along with updated cabinetry, fixtures, and finishes completed in 2022. The home has been upgraded throughout, including a new HVAC system and septic (2023), water heater and appliances (2022), and a well pump and water softener (2025). A gas fireplace, whole-house generator (2024) and irrigation system (2025) add even more value and convenience. Step outside and discover a standout feature—an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) complete with its own mini-split system (2025), kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living area, and separate septic with roughly 387 sqft of living space. Ideal for guests, rental income, or multigenerational living, it can also be converted back into a garage if desired. Additional highlights include a 50-amp RV outlet, natural gas for the fireplace and range, a shed wired for electricity, and recent utility upgrades with TECO replacing all lines in 2025. The metal roof was installed in 2017, completing this impressive list of improvements. Conveniently located near outdoor attractions like Lake Parker Park and shopping at Lakeside Village, this property offers the perfect blend of comfort, flexibility, and location. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home with extensive upgrades and income-producing potential!
