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?
