WELCOME HOME to this stunning 1950s mid-century modern home, situated on an oversized lot with a beautifully refinished POOL—an entertainer’s dream and a true Lakeland treasure! Boasting 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 updated bathrooms, and two inviting living areas, this home combines vintage charm with modern updates. The floor-to-ceiling vaulted picture window in the main living room floods the space with natural light, creating a warm, vibrant atmosphere that frames the aesthetic look of the home. The chef’s kitchen is a showstopper, featuring 42" light wood cabinetry, leather granite countertops, sleek glass shelving, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances. A large picture window frames the views of the sparkling pool from the kitchen, making cooking and entertaining a delight. The primary ensuite offers a walk-in closet and a thoughtfully updated bathroom that blends 1950s original character with today’s modern functionality. The oversized laundry room is thoughtfully designed with vintage looking watermelon tile, a quartz counter bar, and generous storage. Whether it’s folding laundry, serving poolside drinks, or storing pantry staples—it’s a multifunctional dream. Venture outside to the refinished pool, upgraded with new gunite concrete, tile, and a new pool pump—perfect for Florida living! A triple-slider glass door off the family room brings the outside in, offering seamless access to your private oasis. The home's updates include a 2018 permitted metal roof (25-year roof), updated 200-amp electrical service, fully updated plumbing including the sewer line, and new windows! This meticulously revived home is a rare find—where retro charm meets modern luxury, right in the heart of central Lakeland.
