There is a nice kitchen in the center of the home, which overlooks the HUGE family room! This space has its own fireplace, as well, and would make a wonderful informal living area or game room. Downstairs there are 3 bedrooms, an interior room with a private en-suite, and another full bathroom open to the hallway for guests. The layout of this home lends itself well to flexibility to suit your individual needs - whether you are looking for a private office space, additional living areas, a playroom, or you need room to entertain - you can do it ALL in this home! There is a private indoor utility room downstairs, with lots of room for extra storage. Upstairs is a MASSIVE master suite, with a walk-in closet and a beautiful en-suite bathroom, as well. You will love the new flooring throughout the home, including carpet in the bedrooms, tile in the bathrooms, and attractive laminate floors throughout the living areas. There is a covered back porch and open patio that lead out to the large, fully-fenced back yard, just waiting for you to plant your own garden or host your first cookout! This centrally located home is just minutes away from local attractions such as downtown Lakeland, Lake Hollingsworth, Florida Southern College, and Southeastern University; it also provides very easy access to Bartow Highway and Polk Parkway. If you are looking for a property that offers you the space you need while at home, in a location that provides a fantastic quality of life, this is the one!
