Welcome to this charming starter home ideally situated in one of Lakeland's most desirable in-town locations-the historic Lake Morton District. Positioned just a short walk from Lake Hollingsworth and Florida Southern College, two blocks from the vibrant Dixieland area, and less than a mile to downtown Lakeland, you'll enjoy convenient access to dining, shopping, parks, and year-round community events. This well-designed two-bedroom, two-bath residence features an open-concept layout filled with natural light, enhanced by numerous windows that create a bright and inviting atmosphere. The seamless flow between the living and kitchen areas makes entertaining easy and comfortable. A split-bedroom floor plan provides added privacy and functionality. Step outside to a spacious, privacy-fenced side patio-perfect for outdoor dining, relaxing with your morning coffee, or unwinding in the evening. Additional highlights include a single-car garage located at the rear of the property with convenient alley access. Recent updates give peace of mind, including a new roof (2025), fresh interior and exterior paint (2025), water heater (2022) and updated HVAC (2021).
