Description
This property is offered for sale directly by the owner. For Sale By Owner homes, also known as FSBOs, can be a good buying opportunity, because the owner will save up to 6% when there are no brokers involved in the transaction. This leaves more room for price negotiation and potential buyer savings.
This listing is NOT a foreclosure. You'll love this special home which has only seen 2 owners. Centrally located in South Lakeland, 2 blocks from South Florida Avenue and 2 blocks from Cleveland Heights Boulevard, in quiet neighborhood with immediate access to all points of Lakeland including Polk Parkway (1/4 mile away). From the long driveway with palm trees leading to a 2-car garage, this house which is in excellent condition, is unique in many ways with the original hardwood floors (blond oak, refinished 2020), plaster walls, corner kitchen window and corner kitchen sink. The family room has added ceiling height and 2 large picture windows overlooking the backyard and providing an abundance of light. There are built-in wood shelves and glass case. The family room was fully renovated in 2018 to include new plush carpeting, new drywall, new paint and new ceiling fan. The original plaster walls have just been painted, all windows were replaced (2010) with high impact 160 mph double-hang windows. From the quaint front porch, the wood entry door leads into the formal living room and provides a nice separation from the living quarters. The dining room's great feature is a floor-to-ceiling mirror lining an entire wall and projecting additional dimension; a crystal chandelier is centered over the table. Other features include custom built varnished-wood kitchen cabinets, new kitchen door (2020) leading to the patio, 120 Gls solar water heater, central air/heat with wave (ultra-violet light cleaning system and humidity control (2013), new shingle roof (2013), sprinkler system, exterior paint 2013, interior paint 2020. Throughout the house all baseboards are varnished-wood. The master bedroom entry provides added privacy from the actual bedroom; it also has a lighted ceiling fan. Appliances include GE electric range, exhaust hood, Maytag wall oven, Maytag refrigerator, Maytag dishwasher, disposal, 120 Gls solar water heater (you'll never run out of hot water) and washer and dryer (brand new high-end Maytag washer). The large lot (.37 acre) includes a deep front yard with palm trees and mature landscaping with plenty of room to play games. The large backyard which is fenced, could easily accommodate a future in-ground pool. There are mature oaks and multiple trees (avocado, Florida cherry, and Japanese plum tree) which give wonderful fruits every year. The large paved patio is a great place to gather for cook-outs or just relaxing. A shed was installed and anchored about 5 years ago which can serve for either storage or a working studio. This house is a little haven in the midst of town with immediate access to daycare facilities, elementary and middle schools, Cleveland Heights Municipal golf course and clubhouse (1/8 mile), YMCA (1/4 mile) and Lake Hollingsworth perfect to biking or walking (1 mile) or major shopping centers 1 1/2 mile). Let this be your own future little haven!
