*Multiple offers received — Please submit highest and best offers by 5pm on Monday, 4/26* Opportunity abounds in the heart of Lakeland! Situated on a .28 acre double lot with views of Lake Hunter, this unique Dixieland Historic District property is comprised of a 2 bedroom HISTORIC BUNGALOW, a SEPARATE MOTHER-IN-LAW COTTAGE, a big outdoor PATIO space, and a DETACHED 2 CAR GARAGE! If you are looking for an income producing short or long-term rental, a separate living space for a loved one, or a private office/studio...there are endless options to make this one-of-a-kind property work for you! The 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1428 square foot main home is very charming, with a front porch, gleaming wood floors, crown molding, and tasteful cosmetic updates throughout. The focal point of the spacious living room is the luxurious travertine adorned wood-burning fireplace, while the large dining room provides beautiful lake views. If you enjoy cooking, you will appreciate the very functional kitchen with a recently refinished butcher block island, high-end gas range, stainless steel appliances, ample counter and cabinet space, plus views of the lake from your kitchen sink. Picture windows allow tons of natural light into the kitchen, living and dining areas, making them very welcoming and peaceful spaces. This home was once a 3 bedroom property, but the master was expanded to allow for an oversized bedroom with a walk-in closet. The nicely updated bathroom is conveniently situated between the two bedrooms, with a gorgeous glass-door, tiled walk-in shower. There is also a closet-style laundry area near the bedrooms, with stacked washer and dryer included. The stylish cottage is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 540 square foot efficiency-style property with a strong rental history. It will be sold "turn-key" with all furnishings, kitchen appliances and its own washer/dryer included. Between the cottage and the garage, there is a private patio area, perfect for entertaining outdoors. Parking for guests will never be any issue, either, with a driveway to the cottage, plus a detached 620 square foot 2-car garage with an extended driveway. Outside of cosmetic updates, these properties have been well-maintained, and include a new roof, updated plumbing, and new fans/light fixtures in the main house and a new awning on the cottage in 2021; a new garage door, porch posts and coach lights in 2020; new wiring and plumbing fixtures in the kitchen and a new HVAC with additional branch to the master bedroom in main house in 2019. There is also a new submersed pump sprinkler system with a separate well for irrigation (operating quietly and efficiently - saving you money!). A quick walk down the brick street leads you to Lake Hunter, which has a lovely walking path and nearby public boat ramp. This is a wonderful place to enjoy Florida's outdoor recreational activities, such as fishing, kayaking and boating. With easy access to Sikes/Harden Blvd and Florida Avenue, here you are just minutes away from downtown, Polk Parkway, Lakeside Village, and popular parks, including the Bonnet Springs Park opening soon! This is an incredible opportunity for a buyer who appreciates charming historic homes, desires a convenient in-town location, and needs hard-to-find extra spaces, such as a separate living area/office and a detached/enclosed garage. Lakeland is a fantastic place to live, and a rapidly growing area of Central Florida, midway between Tampa and Orlando.
