About This Property
Welcome home to this charming home offering an open layout, spacious living areas, and several recent improvements. The family room features a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, and an eye-catching floor-to-ceiling fireplace that creates a striking focal point. The dining area flows into the kitchen, giving the main living spaces an open and connected feel. The kitchen features granite countertops, rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and plenty of counter space. The primary suite includes a private bath, while two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, a home office, hobbies, or everyday living. Recent improvements include a new A/C system in 2025, new ductwork in 2026, fresh interior paint, a new garage door opener, and a new paver patio with basketball hoop. The electrical panel was replaced in 2020, and the windows were replaced during the home's 2018 renovation. Outside, the fenced yard provides plenty of usable outdoor space, while the detached garage offers additional parking and storage. The new paver patio creates another spot to enjoy the outdoors, and the nearby lake is just a short walk away. Situated in Lakeland's historic Dixieland community, this home puts you close to everything that makes Lakeland such a special place to call home. Downtown Lakeland's restaurants, shops, entertainment and community events are just minutes away, while the city's signature lakes, parks and recreation are all within easy reach. Dixieland itself offers an eclectic mix of local restaurants, coffee shops, vintage shops and small businesses along the South Florida Avenue corridor. With convenient access to I-4 and the Polk Parkway, you're also well positioned for travel throughout Central Florida, with Tampa and Orlando in either direction.
