Systems have been completely updated with a new AC, roof, electrical (12-gauge rewire), plumbing, and a tankless water heater, all installed in 2021. Additional Features: The property includes a one-car detached garage/workshop, complete with electric and an AC window unit, accessible via an alley. Crawlspace storage adds convenience, while pest-proofing around the crawlspace provides peace of mind. This historic bungalow offers the perfect blend of old-world charm and modern functionality, making it a rare find in the heart of Lakeland.
