Property Description

Mediterranean charm meets exceptional historic character in this beautifully preserved 1920s historic home nestled on a picturesque brick-lined street in the South Lake Morton Historic District! Situated on a prominent corner lot, this rare property offers views of Lake Hollingsworth from the welcoming front porch and includes a detached studio apartment above an oversized two-car garage. The main house features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 1,396 sq. ft. of living space. Original details tell the story of the home's rich history, including log cabin-style oak flooring, picture rail molding in the living room, recently refurbished historic windows, original interior doors, and a vintage tile bathroom that beautifully reflects the home's architectural heritage. Adding flexibility and value, the detached 580-square-foot studio apartment features an open-concept design complete with a full kitchen, eat-in bar, full bathroom, and a designated space for a bedroom with closets —ideal for guests, extended family, a private office, creative studio, or rental income opportunity! The property has been maintained and updated with a 2019 roof, 2022 HVAC system for the main home, 2024 central air system for the apartment, a mini-split AC system in the garage, and gas water heater installed in 2022! Enjoy one of Lakeland's most desirable historic neighborhoods with convenient access to both Lake Hollingsworth and Lake Morton, as well as beloved local destinations including Cob & Pen Eatery, Born & Bread Bakehouse, Peach House, and the Lakeland Public Library. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Lakeland history in a location that beautifully blends architectural character, modern updates, and the best of Lakeland living!
