This additional space, perfect for a workshop, yoga studio, home office, or guest suite, also boasts two new vanities and modern finishes. A decorative window, sourced from a historic downtown Lakeland barbershop, adds character to the structure. Outdoor spaces include a screened rear porch, a private garden, and xeriscaped landscaping with an irrigation system. The lot features mature staghorn fern, fruit trees, including a 30-foot avocado tree and a kumquat tree. Additional highlights include a concrete roof with a transferable 10-year warranty (sealed in 2018), natural gas availability, and a transferrable termite bond through Massey that includes annual inspections and exterior plugs for subterranean treatment. Historic details like a clawfoot tub, French doors and push-button light switches preserve the home’s character, while modern updates such as granite countertops and newly remodeled spaces ensure comfort and functionality. Set in a prime location within walking distance to Lake Morton, the Polk Museum of Art, Lake Hollingsworth, and downtown Lakeland, this home offers a perfect balance of charm, history, and modern living.
