Under contract-accepting backup offers. Acreage in South Lakeland does not come available very often, and this home with all it has to offer will not last long. The main house has 3 large bedrooms and 3.5 baths plus an office. The home was built in 1985 by Olivera Construction. A beautiful, gated entry porch showcases double doors that lead to a wide foyer. The very large, eat-in kitchen was updated about 5 years ago with wood cabinetry, Cambia quartz countertops, a flat glass cooktop and stainless Whirlpool appliances including a convection double oven, dishwasher, and side-by-side refrigerator. The large 25x18 family room with volume ceilings and exposed wood beams overlooks the pool area and leads to a huge, enclosed porch with its own central HVAC system, a full bathroom, a large storage closet, and a kitchen with a bar area that makes it perfect for entertaining. The exterior walls of the porch are sliding glass doors over floor to ceiling screened windows, allowing you to open it up for a screened porch feel. The home also includes a formal living room and a formal dining room. The primary bedroom is 17x17 with access to the large porch, and the en suite bathroom includes dual sinks with Cambria quartz countertop, a large glass walk-in shower and a jetted tub. Multiple closets, including a large walk-in. The 2 additional bedrooms are also oversized with large closets. The hall bath has dual sinks with a granite countertop and a tub-shower.. The 20 x 15 office could easily be converted to a 4th bedroom. There is a full basement under the home with a large storage area and three additional rooms, one with an old cast iron sink. The basement is plumbed for a full bathroom. Enjoy the outdoor living in the oversized open-air pool area or play tennis or pickleball on your very own court. Additionally, there is a detached 2-bedroom mother-in-law cottage with an adjacent workshop; a detached dog kennel complete with dog runs and multiple built-in dog cages; and a detached oversized garage with roll-up doors at both ends, and a half bath and hook-ups for a washer and dryer. This estate sits on over 4 acres with many large, beautiful trees. It is zoned for horses, and with no HOA, you have the flexibility to live out your dream life. Zoned for George Jenkins High School and Lakeland Middle School.
