* * * MULTIPLE OFFERS - Highest & Best Due by 4/12/2021 @ 5:00 pm * * * This charming, well-maintained gem is located just minutes from all the shopping, entertainment, dining, and recreation that the Downtown Lakeland area has to offer - a 4-minute drive, 10-minute walk, or 7-minute bike ride to Downtown! It's truly the perfect, move-in-ready starter home. From the moment you enter the home, you'll be impressed by the finished, original hardwood flooring that is present throughout much of the entry living space. A large great room offers plenty of space to entertain family and friends. The home also sits on more than a 1/4-acre lot and in an area with NO HOA restrictions. Almost all of the windows throughout the home were replaced with energy-efficient, double-paned windows. The appliances and major systems of the home offer additional peace of mind - Roof (2019), HVAC (2013, recently serviced and comes with a transferable warranty until 2023), Refrigerator (2021, comes with a 5-year transferable warranty), Range (2020), and new insulation and ductwork were added in 2013. Plus, the sellers will be renewing a 1-year home warranty on 4/14/2021 that will transfer to the new owners. The home is nestled in the area between Lake Parker and Lake Bonny - a short walk from parks, a playground, and walking/biking trails galore. What more could you ask for?!
