Surrounded by lush landscaping and towering oak trees, the backyard offers the cozy feel of a private cottage retreat. The property also features a LARGE METAL STORAGE SHED, an incredible edible garden with watermelon, dragon fruit, blueberries, bananas, tomatoes, and cucumbers, plus unique surfer-style swings hanging from the majestic oak trees in the front yard, adding even more charm and character. Best of all, this one-of-a-kind property is being sold FULLY FURNISHED (with only a few personal items excluded), making it truly move-in ready. Ideally located just moments from LAKE LENA, you'll enjoy easy access to the public boat ramp, boating, fishing, kayaking, and scenic waterfront recreation. Downtown Auburndale, local restaurants, parks, shopping, schools, and the renowned Lake Myrtle Sports Complex are all just minutes away. With convenient access to US-92, the Polk Parkway, and I-4, commuting to Lakeland, Winter Haven, Orlando, and Tampa is effortless while still enjoying the peaceful charm of lakeside living.
