Overview

Short Sale. SHORT SALE – PRICE NOT YET APPROVED BY LENDER. This charming 2-bedroom Spanish-style bungalow is located in the established Shore Acres community of Lakeland, just moments from Lake Bonny, Lake Parker, and the Lake-to-Lake Bikeway. Featuring an oversized, fenced lot with mature shade trees and no HOA or CDD, it’s an excellent opportunity for first-time buyers or investors looking to build equity and unlock future value.
