    MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT — HIGH INTEREST + LIMITED ACCESS THIS WEEKEND This South Lakeland property with NO HOA, screened pool, detached workshop, and over 1/3 acre is now positioned to stand out among active listings. With 280+ saves and continued online activity, this is one of the most closely watched homes in this price range. Buyers are not overlooking this one — they are watching, comparing, and waiting for the right moment to act. Properties that combine land, a pool, and a true powered workshop in this location are extremely limited, especially at this price point. Located just minutes from the Polk Parkway with convenient access to Tampa, Orlando, downtown Lakeland, and the new Orlando Health campus, this home offers both accessibility and breathing room. With TWO primary suites and nearly 2,700 sq ft, the layout provides rare flexibility for multigenerational living, private guest space, or a true work-from-home setup. The home offers a functional layout that can accommodate a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom configuration. Buyer to verify. The kitchen features granite countertops and connects easily to the dining and living areas, creating a space that is practical, comfortable, and designed for real life. The outdoor space continues to set this property apart — the screened pool, expansive patio, and covered area create a backyard that is functional, private, and ready to use. The detached 20x25 powered workshop with approximately 12 ft clearance adds a level of flexibility that is rarely found — ideal for storage, hobbies, business use, or RV and boat parking. Major updates include whole-home re-plumbing, newer HVAC with updated ductwork, lined septic lines, energy-efficient windows, fresh interior and exterior paint, and updated flooring in both primary suites. Limited showing availability this weekend due to scheduling. Buyers who have been watching are encouraged to secure a showing while access is still available. Homes generating this level of attention often move quickly once one buyer decides to act. Buyers are encouraged to schedule promptly, and seller may consider highest and best terms if multiple offers are received. If this home meets your needs, schedule your showing. Some photos may include virtual staging. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer to verify all measurements, square footage, and room uses.
