This charming 3BR/3BA Craftsman-style bungalow sits on a quiet brick road between Lakes Hollingsworth and Morton, just minutes from Florida Southern College, Polk Museum of Art, Dixieland and Downtown Lakeland. A welcoming front porch shaded by mature oak trees invites you inside to a light-filled, open-concept living, dining and kitchen space. Original weighted pulley windows, a classic fireplace mantel centerpiece, updated vinyl plank flooring, and crown molding throughout blend historic character with modern style. The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a stylish backsplash and a functional island with added storage. The main home offers two bedrooms, a guest bath with distinctive tilework and a remodeled primary bath complete with double vanity and original clawfoot tub. A renovated mudroom that doubles as a laundry room with additional closet space leads to a fully fenced wrap around yard with lush Florida landscaping, firepit area and bistro lighting. The detached historic carriage house studio includes a kitchenette, full bath, walk-in closet, loft storage and wood-beamed ceilings—perfect for guests, rental income or a home office. Over the years, this home has been recognized for both its historic significance and thoughtful stewardship: • 2016 | Residential Preservation Award by Historic Lakeland, Inc • 2022 | 18th Annual Historic Lake Morton Home and Garden Tour Stop • 2023 | Lake Morton Century Home Inductee • 2025 | Silver Level Florida Friendly Yard Designation
