IMPORTANT PROPERTY INFORMATION: Approximately 1,346 square feet of enclosed, heated and cooled space, according to the owner. Public records reflect 973 square feet.

Surrounded by lush landscaping and towering oak trees, the backyard offers the cozy feel of a private cottage retreat. The property also features a LARGE METAL STORAGE SHED, an incredible edible garden with watermelon, dragon fruit, blueberries, bananas, tomatoes, and cucumbers, plus unique surfer-style swings hanging from the majestic oak trees in the front yard, adding even more charm and character. Best of all, this one-of-a-kind property is being sold FULLY FURNISHED (with only a few personal items excluded), making it truly move-in ready.

Lena Vista, located between Lake Ariana and Downtown Auburndale, is a residential and lakeside Auburndale neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and a calm, water-oriented setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Ariana waterfront near Lake Ariana Blvd, where anglers, walkers, and small-town routines gather by the shoreline. Streets read as low-slung block homes, screened lanais, and mature shade trees, with driveways and yards that keep the pace unhurried. Lake Ariana Park frames the outdoor rhythm with open lawns and lake views. Downtown’s local staples—The Cornerstone Grill, The Barn Antiques, and the Auburndale City Park complex—add a distinctly Polk County texture a short drive away.
