Property Description
A rocking-chair front porch with brick columns and bead board ceiling welcomes you inside. Light, bright rooms feature refinished original oak and pine floors, plaster walls with picture rails, crown moldings, architectural millwork, bead board accents, and original exposed brick. The living room offers a working fireplace, and French doors from the second bedroom open to the front porch.
The renovated kitchen combines vintage character with modern convenience: light upper cabinets, black lower wood cabinets with gold hardware and soft-close features, walnut butcher block counters, a deep double sink, original brick accents, vintage-inspired black-and-white tile, a pantry, and an ILVE dual-fuel range with gas cooktop and electric convection oven. The primary bath features double pedestal sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate walk-in shower. The third bedroom has its own mini-split A/C. Custom blinds and window treatments remain.
Outdoor living shines with a heated saltwater pool and waterfall, lush mature landscaping, privacy fencing, poolside paver lounging area, and outdoor shower. An attached covered patio offers an outdoor kitchen, bar seating, and dining space; a separate side paver patio provides another private retreat. The attached covered carport has alley access and an open parking pad. An attached 160-square-foot storage shed with electricity and mini-split A/C is not included in the home's living square footage.
Extensive 2023 updates include roof and gutters, HVAC and ductwork, plumbing and electrical improvements, tankless gas water heater, kitchen renovations, select windows, lighting, landscaping, irrigation, fencing, and pool. In 2026, the hardwood floors were refinished, a bedroom mini-split and kitchen pantry added, and outdoor improvements continued. A city-approved driveway extension awaits concrete completion.
This beautifully restored home received the 2024 Residential Historic Preservation Award for Outstanding Rehabilitation from Historic Lakeland, Inc. and the City of Lakeland's Historic Preservation Board, along with recognition from the Daughters of the American Revolution for Excellence in Historic Preservation.
Enjoy an easy stroll to Lake Morton, Lake Hollingsworth, Florida Southern College, downtown Lakeland, the library, the Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, and neighborhood restaurants and coffee shops. A beautifully preserved piece of Lakeland history, thoughtfully updated for today's lifestyle!
