Welcome to your new home! This beautifully maintained, move-in ready 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhome is located in the sought-after, gated community of Village at Lake Highland. The community offers two-gated entrances, convenient access to the Polk Parkway, excellent schools, nearby golf courses, a community pool, shopping, and everything Lakeland has to offer! Recently updated, this home features fresh interior paint, energy-efficient/ double-paned windows and sliding glass doors leading to an open patio (2023), a newer HVAC system (2022), a new hot water heater (2023), brand-new kitchen appliances (2024), crown molding, updated baseboards, a new roof (2019), new toilets, modern lighting, and much more. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a welcoming foyer with a coat closet and a recessed shelf perfect for your decorative pieces. The 2-car garage offers ample parking space both inside and outside the garage. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with brand-new stainless-steel appliances, a new sink, and plenty of cabinetry and countertop space. The spacious Great Room features laminate flooring, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, and flows seamlessly to the updated sliding glass doors, which open to a serene back patio overlooking trees and a canal — offering complete privacy with no rear neighbors. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the first floor and includes a walk-in closet and a private en-suite bathroom with dual sinks, a garden tub, a walk-in shower, and an enclosed toilet room.

The laundry room is also upstairs and comes complete with a brand-new Maytag washer and dryer.
