One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. It can be hard to find a 5 bedroom POOL home in South Lakeland, but here it is! This single-owner home has been lovingly cared for, but is ready for new owners to make it their own. Situated on a .33 acre, fully-fenced lot in the beautiful Christina Community, here you will love the established, yet welcoming neighborhood, lined with mature trees and lush landscaping. Stone details, flower beds and a side loading garage make a great first impression from the exterior of this home. As you enter the home, there is a foyer that leads to a large formal living room and dining room area, with ample space and warm natural light that shines in through the windows and sliding glass doors. If you desire privacy in this formal entertaining area, there is a convenient pocket door between the kitchen and dining room, as well as a door to separate the foyer from the informal areas in the home. The kitchen has pickled-oak solid wood cabinets and a nice window overlooking the pool. This space opens up to the family room, with a gorgeous stone accent wall. The master suite is accessed from the formal dining room, and has a spacious bedroom with private bathroom featuring dual sinks and a walk-in shower. This split floor plan home has 4 additional true bedrooms on the other side of the home, all of which are of excellent size! There are sliding doors from both the dining area and the family room that provide access to the back porch, and the guest bath has a convenient door right out to the pool, as well. The back porch is covered and screened, providing a comfortable place to relax and entertain outside. You can spend your days floating and swimming under the sun in the large solar-heated swimming pool, with a built-in shelf feature - perfect for lounging or shallow-water play. There is also a fantastic amount of yard space surrounding the pool, so you and your loved ones can enjoy outdoor fun all year round. Much of this house was updated within the past 2-4 years, including the roof, a/c, pool, and driveway! With excellent nearby schools and convenient access to shopping, grocery, restaurants, parks, trails and the Polk Parkway, here you will appreciate living in a location that provides a wonderful quality of life. Lakeland is centrally located between Tampa and Orlando, making it a popular and growing area of Central Florida.
