Updates include a newer roof (2020), 200-amp electrical panel(2020), HVAC 2.5 ton (2022), Water Heater (2022) concrete countertops, stainless steel appliances, and continuous laminate/LVP flooring throughout and carpeting in the guest bedroom. Bonus: the oversized laundry room features a third full bath, perfect for lake life clean-up. Outside, the oversized .62-acre lot offers plenty of space to create your vision—whether that’s a dock, fire pit, garden, or expansion. The detached shed, carport, and extended driveway add even more flexibility. Whether you're an investor seeking STR potential, a retiree ready for the quiet life, or a first-time buyer looking for a unique escape, this home fits every lifestyle. Located minutes from downtown Winter Haven, LEGOLAND, and major routes—yet tucked far enough away to feel like a private retreat. Lake life is calling. Will you answer?
