*Multiple offers received - please submit highest and best by 4pm EST Sunday, May 15th* If you appreciate classic Florida bungalows, you will fall in love with this stunning 1928 historic home located in the East Lake Morton Historic District! Situated on a fully fenced lot with lush landscaping, right down the street from Lake Morton, here you will enjoy a convenient, peaceful, and rich quality of life. The exterior of this home is warm and inviting, with a fantastic covered and screened front porch with swing, just waiting for you to sit back and relax, savoring the sweet smell of magnolias. You will feel welcomed and right at home from the moment you walk through the beautiful front door to be greeted by the dining and living room areas, where you will immediately notice the excellent condition of historic features and finishes, such as solid wood floors, lovely trim details, paned windows, built-in bookshelf, and a brick fireplace. The kitchen is perfect for anyone who cooks or entertains, with antique-style glazed cabinets including wine and basket storage, a large farmer’s sink, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a built-in pantry, and even a banker’s desk that was creatively repurposed to serve as a movable island! Originally constructed as a three bedroom home, the third bedroom has been converted into a multipurpose “flex” space with access to the second bathroom, an indoor laundry area, extra storage closets and even room for a home office. The second bathroom has a nicely tiled walk-in shower and the other bathroom features a gorgeous soaking tub. It would be easy to change back to a three bedroom property, but the remaining two bedrooms are both of good size, and the layout flows very nicely as-is. Through the French doors in the kitchen is an incredible outdoor space with open patios, well-manicured gardens boasting pretty flowers and avocado trees, and a grilling area with pergola -- all shaded underneath a thick canopy of mature trees. It is simply breathtaking in the back yard - especially as the sun sets and shines through the leaves rustling from balmy evening breezes. Parking is ample, with an extended driveway that also was widened to allow side-by-side parking behind the double gate, as well as a convenient covered carport. The garage is an excellent workshop or storage area, and behind this is an air-conditioned flex space with private entry, which could work well as a home office, studio, gym or a temperature-controlled storage room. This home has so many unique features and special details – it is one that you must see to fully appreciate how wonderful it truly is – inside and out! Living in the heart of Lakeland provides easy access to the best of local amenities, including popular lakes and parks, downtown restaurants and shops, the library, art museum, Florida Southern College and more. Here you can embrace and immerse yourself in this community’s one-of-a kind culture. Lakeland is a growing area of Central Florida, located between Tampa and Orlando, making it a popular place to live for anyone who seeks to take advantage of all that Florida living has to offer.
