About This Home

As of March 2025

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. Upstairs, you’ll find a versatile bonus room/loft, perfect for a large TV or additional living space, and two additional bedrooms that share a well-appointed bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower combo. The laundry room is also upstairs and comes complete with a brand-new Maytag washer and dryer. This home is situated in one of the most private sections of the community, just steps from the community pool and mailboxes. The HOA takes care of full lawn maintenance year-round, exterior home upkeep, roof maintenance, pest control, and more. Rest assured, there are no homes behind you, so you can enjoy the peaceful view of the canal that feeds into the local lake. Located in an unbeatable area with quick access to the Polk Parkway, I-4, South Florida Ave, and everything Lakeland has to offer, this home is a must-see. Schedule your showing today!
