214 Patten Heights St, Lakeland, FL 33803

Welcome to Patten Heights – one of Lakeland’s most desirable neighborhoods! This charming 1938 bungalow is just a short stroll to beautiful Lake Hollingsworth and brimming with character, updates, and timeless appeal. Many original architectural details have been lovingly preserved, including large baseboards, rich wood floors, high ceilings, and classic dental moulding for hanging artwork. The formal dining room is enhanced by a Tiffany-style lamp, and the formal living room offers a working gas fireplace for cozy evenings. Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The updated kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, a central island with seating, granite counters, a farmhouse sink, and stainless-steel appliances (2019).
