For Sale - Active
1 Units

Located in the highly desirable Christina subdivision in South Lakeland, this well-maintained home offers comfort, space, and a location that’s hard to beat. Zoned for George Jenkins High School, Lakeland Highlands Middle, and Scott Lake Elementary, it’s ideal for those seeking top-rated schools and a strong sense of community. This three-bedroom, two-bath home includes a formal dining room and a separate office or den, offering flexibility for today’s lifestyles. The open-concept kitchen, remodeled in 2017, features stainless steel appliances, a double oven, ample cabinet space, and a breakfast island perfect for casual dining or entertaining. The living area flows seamlessly into a 27-foot screened patio, ideal for relaxing or hosting guests. Beyond the patio, the backyard features a 21-foot DoughBoy above-ground pool, with a pump and filter system replaced in 2021. The spacious primary suite includes a walk-in closet and an en suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom are located on the opposite side of the home, creating a comfortable split floor plan. The garage offers built-in cabinet storage, wooden shelving, laundry area, and access to the attic via pull-down stairs. Additional updates include a new roof in 2020, HVAC replacement in 2017, updated electrical in 2018, re-plumbing in 2017, and replacement windows installed in 2013. A major remodel in 2017 refreshed the kitchen and main living areas, making this home move-in ready. With an optional HOA and a sought-after location, this Christina home is an excellent opportunity. Schedule your showing before it’s gone.
