This is the trifecta of all you are looking for in your Dream Home – A FULLY UPDATED HOUSE with a FANTASTIC LOCATION, and a PRIVATE POOL! Situated on a .58 acre corner lot with a wonderful central location in Lakeland, this beautiful 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom ranch-style POOL home blends modern updates with hints of classic mid-century style. Not only has this home been cosmetically renovated throughout, but the NEW ROOF (2020), A/C (2021), Septic System (2020) and Fresh Exterior Paint make it truly MOVE-IN READY, so you can enjoy low-maintenance living, and spend your free-time around the pool relaxing! As you enter the home, you are greeted by a large family room with slider doors that showcase peaceful views of your sparkling private pool. Tasteful updates to the kitchen include solid wood soft-close cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and leather finished granite countertops. Extra features in the kitchen, such as a cute wet-bar area and a convenient pass-through to the pool, will make entertaining a breeze. The breakfast bar provides additional seating, and overlooks the spacious dining room, which offers plenty of room to enjoy meals with loved ones around the wood-burning fireplace, taking in views of the pool through the sliding glass doors. This is a split floor plan, comprised of a master suite, 3 guest bedrooms, and a 5th bedroom "wing" with its own bathroom and exterior access - making a perfect mother-in-law suite for anyone with multi-generational needs. All of the bedrooms are very large in size, which can be hard to find. The master has dual walk-in-closets, a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a gorgeous walk-in shower with two shower heads, as well as granite countertop double vanities. Outside you will love the amazing screened-in pool with patio, as well as the fully fenced yard and shed – your own piece of paradise!
