Overview

Step into timeless Dixieland charm with this beautifully updated 1926 bungalow just minutes from Downtown Lakeland! Nestled in one of Lakeland's most sought-after historic neighborhoods, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home blends original character with tasteful modern updates. From the moment you arrive, you'll fall in love with the inviting front porch, classic architectural details, and welcoming curb appeal. Inside, an open living and dining area is highlighted by original archways, abundant natural light, and the charm that only a historic home can offer. Original 1926 windows preserve the home's authentic character while adding warmth and timeless appeal. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with granite countertops, a beautiful natural stone backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and elegant gold hardware and faucet that give the space a fresh designer feel. The remodeled bathroom continues the home's blend of classic style and modern convenience. Ceramic tile flooring flows throughout the home, and an interior laundry area adds everyday functionality. A new high-efficiency mini-split system provides both heating and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Fresh interior and exterior paint provide a clean, move-in-ready finish, while the roof was replaced in 2020 for added peace of mind. Out back, you'll find a spacious yard featuring a storage shed with electricity and an existing concrete patio that's ready to become the perfect outdoor entertaining space, fire pit area, or cozy backyard retreat. Located in the heart of the Historic Dixieland District, you're just 1.3 miles from Florida Southern College, minutes from Downtown Lakeland, local parks, shopping, restaurants, and schools. If you've been searching for a home with authentic historic charm, tasteful updates, and an unbeatable location, this Dixieland gem is one you won't want to miss.
