Located in the desirable Orchid Springs community of Winter Haven, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has undergone approximately $30,000 in recent upgrades, enhancing both its comfort and value. Featuring new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, freshly painted interiors, two renovated bathrooms, and updated plumbing (approximately 5 years ago), this move-in-ready residence offers easy living in a tranquil, lush setting. Orchid Springs is a Mediterranean-inspired neighborhood where tree-lined streets are graced by classic Spanish-style homes—known for their terracotta roof tiles, wrought iron accents, and warm stucco facades. The quaint community exudes character and charm, offering a picturesque backdrop for everyday life. The community has NO age restrictions, making it an ideal choice for residents of all ages. Step inside and be welcomed by an expansive great room, the heart of the home. Vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams create an open, airy atmosphere, while the atrium fills the space with natural light. It's the perfect setting for both relaxing and entertaining. The kitchen features ample counter space, a convenient closet pantry, and a breakfast bar for casual meals. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area is surrounded by windows and overlooks a private rear patio—making it an ideal spot for morning coffee, evening dinners, or a cozy Florida room retreat. An additional flexible space beyond the great room can serve as a secondary dining area, home office, or extended living room. Each of the three bedrooms is generously sized and filled with natural light. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with plenty of room for a king-size bed and additonal furniture. The second bedroom features a custom-built beautiful sliding barn door and a large walk-in closet, while the guest bedroom offers comfort and privacy for visitors or family. Both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled. The primary bathroom boasts new modern floor tile, an updated vanity, and fresh beautiful finishes. The guest bath is equally impressive with a walk-in shower enclosed in seamless glass, contemporary tilework, a new vanity, and a Bluetooth speaker exhaust fan. Both spaces include updated lighting, hardware, and LED mirrors. Step outside to a private rear patio with a freshly painted privacy wall—ideal for sunbathing, grilling, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. A two-car garage and a fully equipped laundry area with washer and dryer complete the home. Orchid Springs residents enjoy a community pool and clubhouse, perfect for morning swims or afternoon lounging. The neighborhood is lush, walkable, and offers a quiet retreat while remaining close to everything. For a low monthly fee of $101.50, residents benefit from lawn maintenance and use of the community clubhouse and swimming pool, providing convenience and exceptional value.
