Situated on a triple lot in the beloved Beacon Hill historic district, this Dutch Colonial Revival style residence, complete with an inviting covered front porch and quintessential white picket fence, is the epitome of the classic American dream! This neighborhood’s treasured history dates back to the 1920’s, at which time it was a critical center of residential growth and development in Lakeland. As this home soon approaches its centennial year, despite the time that has passed, a sense of tradition and pride of ownership still shines brightly along the tree shaded, sidewalk lined streets of this community to this day. Thanks to a chain of good steward owners, you will be delighted by the various wonderfully preserved treasures around every corner of this home, including gleaming original hardwood floors, antique fixtures and hardware, and charming built-ins. A welcoming foyer leads to the oversized living room, boasting a gas fireplace, mantle, and built-in shelving, collectively creating a comfortable setting for relaxation, conversation, and social gatherings. French doors lead to a cozy flex space, perfect for an office, home gym, or sitting room. Gorgeous natural light is enjoyed through the updated windows with plantation shutters in these areas, and throughout the entire home. The kitchen is a balanced blend of past and present, with stylish black and white tile floors and food-safe butcher block countertops in the main kitchen and dinette. Stainless steel appliances, an impressive light-feature faucet, Swan adorned tile backsplash, and excellent storage in the cabinets, built-ins and closet pantry are key highlights of the kitchen. An attached dining room with its own French doors makes entertaining for large groups or intimate dinner parties a breeze! You will also love the convenience of a powder bath downstairs for your guests. There is even an indoor utility with storage and washer/dryer included; this leads to the back yard, and provides a useful secondary entrance. Upstairs there is an expansive primary bedroom, featuring space for a sitting area or nursery, amazing built-in shelving and vanity, and another gas fireplace. An attached dressing room serves as another adaptable space and leads to the large en-suite bathroom. The bathroom has fantastic storage, plus a pedestal sink and walk-in shower. There are two nice bedrooms and a guest bathroom upstairs, as well - all featuring similar finishes and decorative touches. The home has been lovingly maintained, is move-in-ready, with a brand-new roof, termite warranty, updated electrical and more! The fully fenced back yard is breathtaking, with ample lush green space framing the heated saltwater pool. A shaded tree swing and the pergola over the open porch provide comfortable outdoor seating options, while half of the detached garage was converted to serve as a “pool house” with a convenient half bathroom and an outdoor shower. The other half of the garage has been a storage space and workshop area in recent years. When the pool was installed in 2016, a shuffleboard was discovered, then subsequently unearthed and restored, serving as a fun backyard activity and a special nod to the past. A separate air-conditioned structure is an adorable retreat for private work, leisure or play. All of this, on a .52 acre lot in one of the most sought after and centrally located areas of Lakeland, creates a remarkable opportunity to make this historic home a part of your bright future!
