Under contract-accepting backup offers. Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the beloved Plantation Ridge neighborhood of North Lakeland, this one-owner home tells a story of care, comfort, and modern living. Imagine arriving at your sanctuary, where an oversized driveway and beautifully landscaped grounds—including mature fruit trees—welcome you home. Built in 1988, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence has been lovingly maintained, with every detail evoking warm family gatherings and peaceful moments bathed in natural light. Step inside to discover an open floor concept where skylights in the kitchen and guest bathroom bathe the space in sunlight, perfectly complementing the inviting eat-in bar—a setting made for lively conversations and shared meals. A spacious bonus room offers endless possibilities for a home office, playroom, or media center, enhancing the home’s adaptable design. Beyond the interior, a screened-in patio extends your living space outdoors, offering a serene retreat to relax, entertain, or savor the gentle Florida breeze in privacy. Recent upgrades, including a new roof (2020) and a modern septic system (2021), ensure that while this home cherishes its past, it’s equally prepared for the future. With no HOA restrictions, you have the freedom to craft your own unique story in this remarkable setting. Every corner of this residence speaks to those who appreciate a well-lived life—a blend of classic charm and thoughtful enhancements, set on just over half an acre of vibrant, lush landscape. Embrace a lifestyle where each day begins with the promise of fresh fruit from your very own Loquat tree and unfolds in a home designed for lasting memories. This home qualifies for USDA financing. Welcome home. You have arrived.
