Description of Property
Welcome to one of Lakeland's most sought-after neighborhoods, where timeless architecture and an exceptional location come together just steps from beautiful Lake Hollingsworth. Nestled in Hiawatha Heights, this distinctive 1938 residence offers approximately 2,416 heated square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, remarkable architectural character, and lake views from the second floor. From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the craftsmanship and period details that define this exceptional home. Rich hardwood floors, crown moulding, glass block accents, custom built-ins, and oversized windows create warm, inviting living spaces filled with natural light. The spacious living room is anchored by a striking stone gas fireplace, while a graceful curved half-wall with built-in shelving defines the adjoining office or library, creating an open yet thoughtfully designed floor plan that was truly ahead of its time. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining and connects seamlessly to the kitchen through a convenient pass-through serving bar. The beautifully updated kitchen features antique-finished white wood cabinetry, granite countertops, abundant workspace, and an adjoining breakfast room surrounded by windows overlooking the expansive rear deck. A second pass-through window enhances the home's functional design while maintaining an open flow between the living spaces. French doors from both the dining room & the breakfast room open to an impressive 24' x 24' wood deck, creating an inviting extension of the home for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are generously sized. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, highlighted by a beautifully beamed painted red cedar ceiling that adds warmth and timeless character. A wall of glass-front built-in closets, private sitting area, ensuite bath, and secluded balcony complete this inviting owner's sanctuary. Several secondary bedrooms showcase charming architectural details, including bay windows and decorative glass block accents, while one oversized bedroom currently serves as a comfortable family or sitting room, offering flexibility to fit your lifestyle. Additional features include a freshly painted exterior, a completely rebuilt 24' x 24' wood deck, two A/C units (approximately 10 years old), an approximately 10-year-old roof, a convenient downstairs powder bath, and an oversized two-car garage. A rare Florida basement provides approximately 20' x 20' of additional storage and houses the laundry area. Accessible from both the oversized garage and exterior steps from the kitchen, this versatile space offers exceptional storage, workshop, hobby, or utility potential—a feature seldom found in Florida homes. The covered patio below provides yet another comfortable outdoor gathering space. Perfectly positioned just moments from the Lake Hollingsworth walking trail, Lakeland Country Club, Cleveland Heights Golf & Country Club, the Lakeland Family YMCA, numerous parks, downtown Lakeland, local dining, boutique shopping, and everyday conveniences, this is a rare opportunity to own a home filled with history, architectural character, and timeless appeal in one of Lakeland's most desirable neighborhoods. Some homes simply cannot be appreciated through photographs alone—this is one that must be experienced in person.
