Welcome to 766 Bates Ave SW in Winter Haven—a charming and move-in ready home offering views of Lake Howard right from your front yard. With great curb appeal and a fantastic location just a short stroll to downtown shops and restaurants, this home is ideal for first-time buyers, people downsizing, or investors looking for a solid rental property. Best of all, there's no HOA to worry about! Step inside to find beautifully refinished hardwood floors that add warmth and character throughout, paired with new tile flooring in the kitchen and bathroom for easy maintenance. The home features two spacious bedrooms, each with oversized closets and ceiling fans, and a fully updated bathroom with newer tile, tub, sink, and fixtures. The kitchen has been completely renovated with updated cabinets, fixtures, and stainless steel appliances—including a range, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and disposal—making it a great space for cooking and entertaining. You'll also find a separate dedicated laundry room with a updated washer, dryer, hot water heater, and extra storage. Other highlights include smart home technology (thermostat and doorbell), a carport, a freshly painted interior/exterior, new landscaping with irrigation (fed by a well), a transferable alarm system, and a transferable termite. Winter Haven is located in Central Florida, offering easy access to both Tampa and Orlando (1-1.5 hour each way), and it's within about 1 hour of the Disney Parks. Winter Haven is a growing town with a charming downtown area, excellent restaurants, medical facilities, shopping, and churches all nearby. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a well-updated home in a prime location—schedule your showing today!
