Full of warmth, personality and thoughtful improvements, this lovingly cared-for 2-bedroom, 1-bath 1925 bungalow feels welcoming from the moment you step onto the screened front porch. Inside, original hardwood floors, 10-foot ceilings and architectural details preserve the home’s timeless character. Natural light fills the spacious living room, where a white brick fireplace creates a cozy focal point, while a graceful arched opening leads into the dining area. The bright kitchen features white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, new GE stainless steel dishwasher and new LG counter-depth French door refrigerator - both installed in 2026. A generous pantry, flexible bonus room and separate office nook add valuable storage and versatile living space. The care invested in this home extends far beyond what can be seen in the photos. A comprehensive exterior renovation included new OSB sheathing, exterior wall insulation, moisture barrier, vinyl siding and trim, along with 12 new double-pane vinyl windows and three new fiberglass exterior doors. The crawl space has also undergone professionally engineered and permitted stabilization with 14 IntelliJack supports and supplemental beams. The related permits are closed, and the warranty is transferable to the new owner. Additional improvements include a 2020 shingle roof and complete replacement of the old cast-iron sewer line, including the kitchen drain and a new cleanout, in 2023. Outside, the fenced .36-acre lot offers a backyard with plenty of possibilities. A covered pergola set over pavers creates a comfortable outdoor seating area, while two storage sheds, front yard irrigation, a detached one-car garage with laundry area and an extended carport provide excellent storage and parking options. Located on a peaceful residential street just a block from Lake Bonny and Lake Bonny Park, and only minutes from downtown Lakeland, this home offers vintage character, everyday convenience and substantial long-term improvements. It has been loved, carefully maintained and thoughtfully prepared for its next chapter.
