Enjoy TWO ACREAS of beautiful land on a QUIET street in LAKELAND - hard to find PROPERTY in the Country! This home is in a great location and the VIEW is heavenly - the property is surrounded by open pastures and large oak trees and displays gorgeous panoramic SUNSETS in the backyard EVERY DAY! This 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home is mid century modern style with a tropical/coastal twist! Everything is looking fresh and new on the exterior and there are lots of updates in the interior too! As soon as you step through the front door, you will see large tile and lots of light coming though the windows. The entry has space for a drop-zone and entry bench. In the kitchen you will see a NEW stainless GAS range for the chef along with a new stainless steel dishwasher and French door refrigerator! The living room is large with lots of light and a slider that goes out to the backyard and a large dining room gives plenty of space for hosting family meals! The Master suite is just off the kitchen and has FRENCH DOORS that walk out to the SCREENED back porch for easy sunset and wildlife viewing - watch for deer, hogs, sandhill cranes, and much more. The spacious en-suite bathroom is attached to the master and has a graciously sized shower that is equipped with a new rain-head. The redecorated main bath has soaking tub and the half bath is perfect for little ones. The office could be used as a 4th bedroom if needed and has a modern BARN door and lovely FRENCH DOORS interconnecting with the kitchen and 3rd bedroom. The 3rd bedroom has large BUILT-INS and a good-sized closet. Don’t forget the exterior! You'll find the massive screened porch, perfect for large family meals and gatherings running along the back of the home and overlooking the GIANT backyard. With no HOA, you can use the yard for whatever you desire: gardening, chickens, horses, fruit trees along with volleyball, kite flying, and bird watching. To top it all off, the property displays a lovely STONE POND complete with a CASCADING WATERFALL. The mulch is fresh and the TREES are newly trimmed, there is brand new screening on the porch and the property is totally FENCED IN with the exception of the a short run in the very front. With an oversized two car garage, there is plenty of space to store tools and lawn equipment and still park the car inside. Even being away from it all, you can still be close to everything. It is only 10 minutes or less to groceries, shopping, restaurants and I-4. 15 minutes to downtown Lakeland or plant city and only 30-35 minutes to Tampa - take Knights Station Rd straight there if you don't feel like fighting the I-4 traffic. Come see this one quick before it is gone - you will not find another property like this one!
