About This Home
Welcome to this beautifully updated home in desirable Southeast Winter Haven, offering space, privacy, and modern upgrades on a generous half-acre lot.
Step inside to vaulted ceilings and rich hardwood flooring that create a warm, open feel. The living room features a gas fireplace with mantle detail, adding character and comfort to the main gathering space. The fully renovated kitchen stands out with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops throughout, updated shaker-style cabinetry, and a sleek glass vent hood for a clean, contemporary finish. The layout flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas, making it ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The enclosed rear patio is fully incorporated into the heated and cooled square footage, providing additional living space in a controlled climate year-round. From here, you overlook the expansive backyard with mature trees and complete privacy — and with no rear neighbors, that view and buffer will never change. The updated bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower with modern tile accents, granite vanity top, and upgraded lighting for a polished, spa-like feel. Outside, the half-acre homesite offers exceptional flexibility. There is ample room for a future pool, garden, or additional structure, along with space for boat or RV parking. A detached shed provides extra storage. The property backs to natural privacy with no rear neighbors ever, creating a peaceful setting that’s hard to find. Located in a one-way-in, one-way-out area of Southeast Winter Haven, the neighborhood offers limited traffic and added privacy while still being conveniently close to everything. With a little effort, this home could easily be converted into a 3-bedroom layout, adding even more value and flexibility for future owners. If you’re looking for updated interiors, privacy, and room to grow — this one checks boxes that most homes simply don’t.
