Property Description
From the moment you enter, you’re greeted by restored terrazzo floors and original architectural details that define the character of this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home. The formal living room is adorned with beamed ceilings and has French doors leading to a private garden, setting the stage for elegant gatherings and tranquility. Adjacent is an office/library with the potential to be a fifth bedroom offering versatility and complemented by a half bath.
This showplace of a home features solid concrete block partition walls on the lower levels and plaster & lath interior walls throughout - a testament to the time when houses were built by skilled tradesmen.
The heart of the home is its kitchen, a tribute to its era, featuring original walnut cabinets and a breakfast nook for you to enjoy your morning coffee. Countertops are (quartz) Silestone and appliances are stainless throughout. A butler’s pantry adds convenience and utility with a desk and additional storage.
Down a few steps, the inviting family room with its distinctive “shadow wall” showcases a custom wood-burning fireplace and beautiful lake views. You will also find the quiet master suite with a tastefully updated en-suite bath which allows flexibility for your family or guests. This level also features the laundry room and a large mudroom that offers tons of storage.
Upstairs, you will find two bedrooms with new carpeting and built-in maple closets, which share a classic tile bathroom with dual sinks, original fixtures, and original “boomerang” Formica countertops. The square tub in matching pink adds to the charm of this unique space.
You will also find an additional spacious master suite with unmatched views of Lake Horney, original maple cabinetry, and an en-suite bath with original tile, fixtures, and modern updates.
Outdoors, relax on the large, screened Lanai with concrete pavers as you enjoy the heated swim-current pool that includes an underwater treadmill and therapy jets.
There is also a concrete block construction detached shed with its original jalousie windows, enhanced by expanded-metal guards.
Recent updates include a 2017 main roof replacement, 2022 shed roof replacement, upgraded electrical systems, HVAC improvements, and energy-efficient triple-pane windows. Motorized blinds also add modern convenience.
Don’t miss the opportunity to own this rare piece of Lakeland history – a home where mid-century charm meets contemporary comfort in a prime location. Schedule your private tour and envision life in this captivating lakeside retreat!
