    What's special

    More pictures to come, still working on ad..... This nicely landscaped well kept home is in a quiet gated community in South Lakeland located in one of Polk county's best school districts. It has a 4 zone irrigation system. Just minutes from the Polk parkway with access to I4 in either direction to Tampa or Orlando. This 2 story home is a 3 or 4 bedroom home, the 4th room is a bonus room which currently exists as a game room with bar or can be converted to a bedroom with vanity & sink. The kitchen has recently been remodeled with stylish wood cabinets, granite counters and stone backsplash. There is also a separate dining room. Enjoy the spacious living area with stone fireplace and separate room for an office/den perfect for working from home. Tile and wood laminate throughout the house and carpet in the office/den. Updated bathrooms with granite counters. Outside enjoy the screen enclosed pool with solar heating, covered patio with ceiling fan, TV and electric fireplace. An outdoor kitchen with gas grill, sink and refrigerator all perfect for entertaining. Fully enclosed vinyl fencing in backyard. The house has an attached 2 car garage and an additional detached 2 car or car/workshop combination building all accessible from the driveway. Ok, if your asking why my price is higher than Zillow here's some things Zillow doesn't know: * I think the main reason it says we purchased our home for $34,500 which means our tax assessment is incorrect. The property taxes are way incorrect for current purchase, not @$2000 This property has been homesteaded for over 25 years and there is a cap for how much they can can raise homestead taxes each year. Expect to pay more. * They don't take granite counters into consideration * Separate oversized 2 car garage with attic space * Solar heated pool with controller * Stainless steel outdoor kitchen with gas grill, sink, built in ice box and refrigerator * Stone accent with electric fireplace * 2 A/C units The house was appraised much higher than Zillow as I also asked why Zillow was so low. Realtors have come by and said the house should be listed at $589,000 - 599,000 PLEASE NO REALTORS! No lease to own buyers.
