From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the impeccable care and attention to detail that define this meticulously maintained and beautifully renovated home.
The state-of-the-art kitchen features sleek quartz countertops, a premium gas stove, and custom beige cabinetry—a chef’s dream. It opens effortlessly to the warm and inviting family room, anchored by a stunning 8' x 9' porcelain fireplace with a striking quartz mantel, creating the perfect setting for both relaxed living and elegant entertaining.
Rich hardwood floors flow throughout the main level, complementing the formal dining room adorned with a hand-stenciled floral floor pattern and a beautifully detailed ceiling. A dedicated home office/study with custom built-ins provides the ideal space for working from home.

An expansive top-floor bedroom with its own full en suite bath offers privacy and versatility, ideal for a guest retreat or multigenerational living. The rarely available finished lower level provides 1,060 sq ft of flexible living space—ideal for a media room, gym, or playroom—further enhancing the home’s footprint and functionality.
Above the garage, a fully finished legal apartment (ADU – Accessory Dwelling Unit) includes a private entrance, full bath, and carpeted living area—perfect as a home office, guest suite, or income-producing rental. The garage itself has been upgraded with an epoxy-finished floor and painted drywall, elevating even the utility spaces with thoughtful design.
With four thoughtfully designed levels, a separate guest house apartment, and luxury updates throughout, this residence is truly a 10++. Spectacular from top to bottom, it represents one of the most exceptional offerings in Lakelands today.
