Welcome to this cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home in Central Lakeland, close to shopping, Southeastern University, and medical facilities. As you walk in, you notice you are able to see all of the main living spaces to include the formal living room, dining area, kitchen and living/family room.

The living/family room features a wood burning fireplace surrounded by red brick, a large storage closet, entry/exit to the large back yard, entry/exit to the laundry room, an updated full bathroom with a walk-in shower & seating, and tile flooring. Being a ranch style home, all of the bedrooms are located down the hallway, separated from the main living space for privacy. All 3 bedrooms share a full bathroom, which has a tub/shower combo. This home sits on .19 acre and has a fully fenced backyard, plenty of safe space for your littles or fur babies to run about. The home is equipped with an alarm system (owned) and a RING system. All of the windows in the home have all been replaced with double pane windows, making it easier to keep the cool air inside during these warm Florida Summer months. The A/C & hot water heater were both replaced in 2021, while the septic system was last serviced in 2020 at which time a new tank & drain field were installed. The age of the roof is thought to be between 10-15 years old. Don't miss out on this block home in a peaceful neighborhood with NO HOA. Call today for the first available tour.
