Welcome to 1830 Cherokee Trail, a rare Beacon Hill gem where timeless character meets curated modern living set on an expansive ¼+ acre homesite with a resort-style backyard and a storybook guest cottage that truly sets this property apart. From the moment you arrive, the charm is undeniably anchored by a welcoming brick walkway, mature oak canopy, and classic porte-cochère drive, offering both curb appeal and functional covered parking. The architectural details and warm textures immediately signal that this is not your typical home. Inside the 2,117 sqft main residence (3/2), natural light pours through oversized windows, illuminating rich wood flooring, crown molding, and beautifully preserved millwork. The living spaces feel both open and intimate, centered around a cozy fireplace and thoughtfully designed built-ins… Perfect for everyday living or entertaining with ease. The dining room flows seamlessly, creating a connected yet defined layout ideal for gatherings. The gourmet kitchen is a true standout featuring custom cabinetry, glass-front uppers, quartz countertops, designer backsplash, high-end appliances, and a large center island with seating. It’s both functional and elevated, designed for those who love to cook, host, and gather. The primary suite offers a private retreat with French door entry and a spa-inspired bath, complete with a walk-in shower showcasing pebble tile flooring and exposed river stone detailing, dual vanities, and refined finishes that blend texture and warmth. Step outside and the property transforms into your own private resort. The backyard is intentionally designed for lifestyle… Featuring a heated pool and spa, expansive paver decking, multiple lounging areas, and a fire pit gathering space framed by lush tropical landscaping and privacy fencing. The detached 312 sqft cottage (1/1) was operated as a highly rated Airbnb “guest favorite” by the previous owner which adds incredible flexibility and value. With its vaulted ceilings, wood accents, full bath, kitchenette, and private access, it’s ideal as a guest suite, income-producing rental, home office, or in-law retreat. Additional highlights include: Newer roof (2019), A/C (2020), tankless water heater (2021), guest house mini-split (2022), and an EV charging station under the porte-cochère… Blending historic charm with modern efficiency. Located in the highly sought-after Beacon Hill neighborhood, you’re just minutes from Lake Hollingsworth, Downtown Lakeland, boutique shopping, dining, parks, and top-rated schools, offering a lifestyle that’s as convenient as it is charming. This is more than a home… It’s a lifestyle property with character, income potential, and unforgettable outdoor living.
