About this home

Great opportunity for an investor or owner occupant! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-family VA foreclosure offers a spacious layout with a large living room, office with storage room, and inside laundry. The kitchen features a large dinette area and access to the backyard but needs all new appliances. The office has a separate front entry door and sliding glass door leading to the side patio. Outside, enjoy a partially fenced backyard with a brick patio and storage shed. No HOA! This property needs work but offers plenty of potential for those willing to put in the effort.

About Lake

Bentley

Lake Bentley, located between South Florida Avenue and Lake Hollingsworth, is a residential and lakeside Lakeland neighborhood with curving shoreline streets and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Bentley Drive and W Beacon Road area, where walkers, cyclists, and anglers cluster near the waterline and boat ramps. Mid-century ranch homes and newer infill sit on leafy lots, with frequent lake views and long, quiet blocks. Lake Bentley Park sets the outdoor rhythm with courts, open lawns, and shaded picnic areas. For a local night out, Polk Theatre and the Polk Museum of Art anchor nearby culture, while Black & Brew Coffee House & Bistro adds a Lakeland staple for espresso and conversation.

Single-Family District

It is the intent of the single-family districts to provide for single-family detached residential development at a variety of densities and lot sizes that are consistent with the existing and desirable future pattern of development in the city. Provision is made for a variety of residential densities in order to accommodate different residential preferences.; The use restrictions protect single-family detached residential development from the encroachment of incompatible land uses. At the same time, provision is made for a limited number of appropriate non-residential uses which may be established for the convenience of residents while still preserving the overall residential character of the districts.
