This luxury estate in North Lakeland, Central Florida sits on 1.95 acres on a quiet, private drive with only seven homes. The property is zoned for horses and approved for a home-based business. The home welcomes you with 8-foot French doors opening to a grand foyer and soaring 25-foot ceilings in the main living area. Enormous windows flood the open floor plan with natural light. Architectural details include arches, columns, and a stone half wall separating the foyer from the living area. The living room features vaulted and cathedral ceilings, double doors to the backyard, and a gas fireplace with a stylish two-tone gray brick/tile surround that perfectly complements the gray tile floors. The remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, solid wood cabinetry including glass-front cabinets, and a tiled backsplash that matches the fireplace, creating a cohesive design. Additional highlights include a dry bar with built-ins and microwave, and a kitchen island with a sink and extra cabinetry. The stainless steel appliances include a double oven, dishwasher, and large refrigerator. An attached eating area with a chandelier, large windows, and sliding doors to the backyard creates a bright, airy space. The first floor also offers a formal dining room, a convenient half bath, and an office/den with abundant windows and a closet that could also serve as an extra bedroom. In addition, there is a separate laundry room with ample cabinetry, countertops, and a utility sink, with a door leading to the garage, and a dual laundry chute connecting the upstairs bedrooms directly to the laundry room. The primary suite on the first floor boasts a walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom with dual sinks, garden tub, separate walk-in shower, and built-in shelving. Upstairs, a spiral staircase leads to a balcony overlooking the main living space. Additional bedrooms are connected by a Jack and Jill bathroom with enormous walk-in closet, and there is a huge bonus room. Ceiling fans are installed throughout the home, and window treatments along with hurricane/impact-resistant Andersen windows provide both elegance and protection. Outdoor living is enhanced by two covered porches, a side patio, a partially fenced backyard, a 50-amp RV hook-up, a utility shed with electricity, an oversized garage, an irrigation system, professionally landscaped grounds, and a new well installed in 2025. Additional features include electronic blinds, Ring security cameras, a newer roof (2021), three A/C units (2022), upgraded attic insulation (2023), and a 74-gallon propane water heater. Ideally located minutes from Publix, shopping, and dining, and right off Kathleen Rd with easy access to I-4, Tampa, Orlando, and 570, this property offers the perfect blend of rural tranquility and city convenience.
