About This Home
SAVE THOUSANDS! Seller is offering Buyer $10,000 towards a rate buy down, and / or closing cost at full price. Don't miss out. Rare to market renovated historic home and mother in law cottage near Lake Morton in downtown Lakeland, FL. MAIN HISTORIC HOME: The first this you see is the glorious, large, open front porch, the perfect place to rock and unwind. The beautifully refinished, wood flooring makes the historic home pop! The large living room is a great place to chat, watch TV, and enjoy the old fashioned electric fireplace. All of the walls and ceilings have been updated (the old wall paneling was frightening!) and luxurious feeling crown molding has been added to elevate the spaces. The dining is full of natural light, a super place for meals with family, friends and during the holidays. There is flex space, currently an at home office on the main level for those who like to work from home, and not do so from your bedroom. The two downstairs bedrooms are large and have private walk-in closets. The downstairs updated bathroom is charming. The kitchen is delightful. Lovely quartz tops, a hidden lazy-Susan "plus" with extra storage in the corner, striking backsplash, and beautiful brushed gold finishes. The laundry room was transformed and now has a butcher block folding surface, space saving tankless water heater, and loads of storage (the washer and dryer stay). The upstairs in flexible. Currently, the two upstairs bedrooms are one large suite with a sleeping room and a dressing room next to a high end, spa-like bathroom room with a stand alone tub, walk-in shower, split vanities with quartz tops, and another walk-in closet. It is a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. IN-BETWEEN: Between the historic home and the mother in law cottage are a long breezeway, an open, fenced patio for cookouts and laying out, and a covered, screened room for outdoor dining. MOTHER IN LAW COTTAGE: This is no ordinary mother in law suite. This cottage has 3 large bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms! The downstairs kitchen has a modern design (large island and farmhouse sink), is open to the living room, and matches the updated in the main house kitchen. There is a cozy butler pantry by the back door with a microwave and coffee nook with butcher block top. The upstairs master has a screened balcony too! Laundry hook ups are in the garage. *** If you are looking for a gorgeous, renovated, historic home in the Lake Morton Historic District, that has a mother-in-law home attached, on a huge lot, with all the charm of the old world, and all the convenience of modern finishes, 746 Mississippi Ave might be right for you. This 100 year old home has been transformed from a sleeping beauty to the belle of the ball. When you buy this home, you will be a few homes away from Lake Morton, the library, the AGB Art Museum, Black and Brew, Mr. Fish, the Christmas Parade route and of course watching and feeding your favorite resident swans. You will be a short walk or bike ride to all the lifestyle that downtown Lakeland offers. Cuisine, First Fridays, Girls Nights Out, Food Truck Rally, Farmers and Makers Market, Community Theater, Polk Theater / Cinema, Lake Mirror, The Joinery - I could go on for days. There are too many renovations to list, so come have a look for yourself. This home won't last long. If you like what you see in the pictures and the virtual tour, request a private showing today. This is a rare find in this location, don't miss out.
