As of July 2025Own a gem of Lakeland history in Camphor Heights! Main home is a 3 bedroom 2 bath and the detached cottage is a 1 bedroom 1 bath providing a combined 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms! Both dwellings with renovated kitchens and bathrooms!!
The stunning 1675 sq.ft. main home consists of 3 good-sized bedrooms and 2 renovated bathrooms. And there's The Cottage! An additional 510 sq.ft. tiny home inclusive of an adorable kitchenette with breakfast bar, living room, another bedroom and a renovated full bath. Previous history, The Cottage was rented for $1200 a month! This is a great opportunity for income, a private guest house, or family needing multi generational living. From the moment you arrive at the property, you'll appreciate the front porch with preserved terrazzo/tile and metal railings, beautiful landscape, private fully fenced yard with 6-foot wood fencing, dual gates, and a modern paver driveway with twin door dual garage. Entering the home, you will appreciate the original hardwood floors, plantation shutters on every window, and modern open concept.
The thoughtfully updated kitchen features stylish wood-look tile floors, granite countertops, mission style glass-front cabinets, and a pantry with pull-out shelves. The living area is warm and inviting with an electric fireplace and new plantation shutters, while the den/office features terrazzo style flooring and dual French doors opening onto the deck with a garden view, and also entry to the oversized screened room with pavers. The main bath shows off with newer cabinets, granite counter tops, potty closet, and over sized walk in shower. The second bath is shared jack and jill style, for privacy for the two other bedrooms. A perfect blending of modern updates with timeless charm.
A brick paver pathway meanders through a garden oasis to The Cottage. This guest house is a showstopper! Featuring a brand-new open concept kitchenette, living room, true bedroom, updated three piece bathroom, new flooring through out the cottage, and a newly installed transfer switch for a generator—ensuring comfort during storms.
Highlights of the Secret Garden include a patio terrace with pergola, artificial turf area, fire pit, and a Tyvek deck. The brick pathway takes you through several species of bamboo, bird of paradise, philodendron, croutons, and bromeliads - all low maintenance Florida fauna! This home is a true gem—don’t miss your chance to own a piece of history in one of Lakeland’s most desirable neighborhoods!
