Property Description

Discover the charm of Shore Acres, one of Lakeland’s classic Central Florida neighborhoods tucked between the shimmering waters of Lake Bonny to the south and Lake Parker to the north. This inviting mid-century residence sits on an oversized 10,000+ sq ft corner lot, offering room to expand, garden, play, or park your RV, boat, or outdoor toys — all without the restrictions of an HOA. The setting feels like a vintage Florida postcard: mature shade trees, tropical accents, and quiet streets just moments from parks, lakes, and Lakeland’s lively downtown district. The home welcomes you with abundant natural light, beautiful windows, and a layout that blends comfortable living with flexible space. Enjoy a bright dining room with a bay window, generously sized bedrooms, and a 4th bedroom that doubles perfectly as a home office, studio, or craft space. Crown molding accents many rooms, adding a touch of character that complements the home’s mid-century roots. The kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with new stone countertops, custom hardwood open shelving, porcelain farmhouse sink, new cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The same custom wood details continue into the completely updated main bathroom. A remodeled half bath features a stylish barn door, modern vanity, and new tile. Nearly every surface inside the home has been refreshed, making it move-in ready for the next chapter. Outdoor living shines here. With a lot this size, you can create the Florida backyard of your dreams — shaded seating areas, play space, gardens, or even an accessory dwelling option (verify with city). The lot offers privacy, breathing room, and the feeling of an old-Florida neighborhood where life slows down a bit. The location is truly unbeatable: • Minutes to Downtown Lakeland, with its expanding dining, entertainment, arts & events • Close to Southeastern University, Florida Southern College, and Lake Morton’s iconic swans • Easy access to parks, walking paths, and recreational lakes • Convenient routes to Tampa, Orlando, and major Central Florida attractions • A community ideal for first-time buyers, snowbirds, investors, or downsizers seeking value and long-term appreciation This is a warm, welcoming home in a neighborhood known for its history, character, and central convenience. If you’ve been searching for a property with space, charm, character, and a genuine sense of place, this Shore Acres opportunity is one you won’t want to miss. Bonus 5th room ("finished garage" for bedroom, studio, in-law, or bonus room. Schedule your private showing today and experience why this corner of Lakeland continues to capture hearts year after year!
