Description of Property
Lake Hollingsworth stately 1920s wood-shake bungalow located just three homes from the lake on the iconic brick-lined Coventry Ave! Offering nearly 4,500 square feet, this one-of-a-kind residence is rich in historic character, featuring ceiling beams, log-cabin pattern oak flooring, arched doorways, a grand staircase, wood-burning fireplace, and rare “icing plaster” detailing on the dining room ceiling. Designed for entertaining, the versatile layout begins with an impressive entry leading to two spacious living rooms, an enclosed porch currently styled as a bar area, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy a built-in outdoor grill/kitchenette, expansive Trex deck, and a sunken hot tub, creating a true private retreat. The kitchen is a showstopper with abundant cabinetry, porcelain countertops, a large island, and a sleek Invisacook induction cooktop integrated directly into the porcelain surface of the island. The entire home is equipped with a whole-house water filtration system, and the kitchen features reverse osmosis drinking water for increased water quality. Upstairs in the original portion of the home are two oversized bedrooms with walk-in closets/dressing areas and an original full bath featuring separate shower and tub stalls, vibrant electric tile, and architectural arches that honor the home’s era. The private primary ensuite, added above the garage and accessed off the kitchen, offers separation from the main living quarters. The ensuite bath connects directly to the outdoor deck, providing a unique indoor-outdoor experience. The 500+ sq. ft. basement suite adds an additional bedroom/bathroom and another layer of versatility to the home—complete with its own exterior entrance, full bath, kitchenette, a cozy living area, and eccentric 6-foot ceilings — perfect for guests to stay or an unforgettable entertaining space. The property is designed as a low-maintenance “zeroscape” oasis with turf and zero grass. Major updates include a 2022 roof, 2025 windows, 2025 water heaters, and HVAC systems from 2022 and 2025. With close proximity to the Lake Hollingsworth walk/bike path, lake views from the front yard, and the timeless charm of Coventry Avenue, this is truly a rare and unforgettable Lakeland home!
