A Rare Gem with Endless Potential in the Lakeland Historic District! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath plantation-style home is a diamond in the rough, brimming with character and charm but in need of some work and updates to restore its full glory. Situated on a half-acre corner lot, it features an oversized private pool--a rare find--measuring 40 feet long and 11 feet deep. Located just 5 minutes from downtown Lakeland and within walking distance to Lake Hunter, it offers an unbeatable combination of location and potential. Perfectly positioned between Orlando and Tampa (35 minutes to Tampa's west and Walt Disney World to the east), this home is ideal for those looking for a historic property with modern possibilities. Notable features include: new roof (June 2023), rewiring throughout, original oak hardwood floors needing refinishing, 10-foot ceilings, antique French doors, multiple fireplaces, walk-in closets, master bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and built-in TV (needs updating), antique clawfoot tub, and a second-floor balcony. The exterior includes a detached garage with a loft and attached workshop, adding even more possibilities for customization. While this home offers endless features and historic charm, it's ready for updates and TLC to make it shine again. This property is perfect for buyers ready to invest in a historic treasure.
