Description of Property
Step into a storybook setting where timeless charm meets thoughtful renovation in the heart of Lakeland’s beloved Historic Dixieland District. This enchanting home isn't just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle, rich with character and brimming with opportunity. Nestled just steps from the shimmering shoreline of Lake Hunter, this residence captures breathtaking lake views from nearly every room, inviting the beauty of nature to be part of your daily rhythm. Picture mornings spent on the grand wrap-around porch, sipping coffee as the sunrise stretches across the lake. Evenings become pure magic as you sway on the porch swing, watching the sun melt into the water with a gentle breeze at your side. This home is situated on three lots! And the lake? It’s not just for admiring—Lake Hunter offers a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Launch your kayak or paddleboard straight into the calm waters, cast a fishing line at dusk, or take a canoe out for a peaceful glide at sunrise. Here, the lake becomes a part of your everyday lifestyle. Just a short walk away, the heartbeat of downtown Lakeland awaits, with charming restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, and local attractions—all within reach, yet far enough away to preserve your peaceful escape. Inside, the home tells a tale of thoughtful transformation. While the historic character remains gracefully intact, every major system has been updated—plumbing, electrical, tankless water heater, and central A/C—all completed with precision and care. Both the house and detached garage feature newer roofs, ensuring lasting peace of mind. This is a Queen Anne Victorian home that still showcases the many features of its time such as two front doors- one side was for women to enter into and another side for gentlemen in order for women to avoid showing their ankles to the men as they exited the carriage. Incredible history and many stories behind this home! It was also recognized and awarded in many ways. The kitchen is a culinary dream come to life, boasting granite countertops, rich solid wood cabinetry, a commercial-grade gas stove with double ovens, stainless steel appliances, and even a wine refrigerator for entertaining in style. The main residence offers four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, with the flexibility of an upstairs or downstairs primary suite. A formal dining room and cozy living space provide the perfect backdrop for gatherings and celebrations. And speaking of entertaining—the property’s potential is as expansive as its lake views. This home previously operated as a licensed bed and breakfast, making it a rare gem for those with a hospitality vision. It would be an ideal short-term rental, an elegant Airbnb, or even a picture-perfect wedding venue. The detached in-law suite includes a private 1-bedroom, 1-bath apartment and a charming loft above the 2 car garage (currently a music studio), offering endless versatility for guests, extended family, or creative pursuits. With nearby access to the Lakeland Country Club and Cleveland Heights Golf Course, you’re perfectly positioned for both recreation and relaxation. This is more than just a home—it’s a canvas for your next chapter. Whether you seek a serene lakeside lifestyle, a one-of-a-kind investment property, or a blend of both, you’ve found something truly special. Don’t just visit history—live in it. All sizes and information is believed to be accurate but buyer and or buyer agent should verify.
