Central Lakeland POOL home on a 0.62 acre lot! Welcome to your private retreat in the heart of Lakeland! Tucked away on a deep .62-acre lot just off New Jersey Rd, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is filled with warmth, character, and thoughtful updates. From the moment you arrive, the charm is immediately apparent with brick pavers that lead you to the front entrance, setting the tone for the character that continues inside with an original wood door and brick flooring that beautifully ties the spaces together. The remodeled kitchen blends modern updates with farmhouse charm, featuring updated 42" cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, and a shiplap-accented eat-in bar— perfect for casual meals or gathering with guests. The living room is truly the heartbeat of the home, showcasing soaring vaulted wood ceilings and a striking oversized brick wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm and inviting atmosphere. The primary suite offers a beautifully remodeled ensuite bathroom complete with a new quartz vanity counter, two skylights that fill the space with natural light, a newly tiled walk-in shower, and a striking freestanding floating glass shower wall that adds a sleek and modern touch. On the opposite side of the home, you’ll find two nicely sized bedrooms and a full bathroom with retro 1970s tile! Venture outside and discover a backyard that lives like an extension of the home. The newer pool, screen enclosure, and paver patio (installed in 2021) create the ultimate Florida outdoor retreat, while the deep lot provides privacy and plenty of room to spread out. The home also boasts a 2025 roof, 2024 AC, and 2025 water heater! If you’re looking for space, character, and modern updates in central Lakeland, this is the one!
