Located just minutes from Downtown Lakeland and less then half a mile away from Lake Morton, Lake Mirror, Barnett Family Park, Lakeland Community Theatre, the Public Library, the Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum, and some of Lakeland's favorite local spots including Black & Brew at Lake Morton, The Joinery, Grievous Angel, and The Peach House, this home offers the kind of connected lifestyle people are searching for. From the moment you arrive, the inviting front porch sets the tone for relaxed mornings, evening walks, and enjoying everything this vibrant neighborhood has to offer. Inside, you'll find thoughtfully updated spaces while still preserving the warmth and charm that makes historic homes so special.

The current owners have continued enhancing the property with a brand new driveway and professionally designed low maintenance landscaping featuring rock accents, added trees, and premium ForeverLawn artificial turf that is both beautiful and pet friendly. Whether you're looking for less upkeep, a lock and leave lifestyle, or simply more time to enjoy Downtown Lakeland, this property was designed with that in mind.
