Description

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. A true 1925 Craftsman bungalow — now celebrating 100 years — located in the heart of the East Lake Morton Historic District. This meticulously maintained home blends authentic historic charm with modern convenience, preserving original architectural details while offering thoughtful updates throughout.

Inside, you'll find beautiful original hardwood floors, wood casement windows with period hardware, arched room transitions, and extensive crown molding. The screened front porch with beadboard ceiling and a ceiling fan, is perfect for enjoying mornings or relaxing evenings.

The kitchen has been intelligently redesigned to maximize space, featuring custom inset cabinetry with a built-in microwave enclosure and dedicated pet nook, gas cooking, mosaic tile backsplash, and stainless appliances. Both bathrooms have been fully remodeled in a style that honors the home’s era — with classic tile floors, updated fixtures, and original built-in cabinetry retained.

Major systems like HVAC and roof have been routinely serviced and maintained with a newer gas water heater. Additional upgrades include a whole-home water softener and filtration system with reverse osmosis, newer irrigation system, exterior landscape lighting, and an expanded backyard paver patio ideal for entertaining. The front yard was recently re-sodded with St. Augustine grass, adding lush curb appeal.

The home’s 4-bedroom layout offers a dedicated office/flex room, formal living and dining areas, casual dining space off the kitchen, and a bright rear family room that overlooks the backyard. Storage is abundant with original built-ins, attic space accessed through the attached one-car garage, and a detached garage/workshop with alley access for additional storage or projects.

The fenced backyard provides privacy, shade, and flexible outdoor living space for pets, gardening, or gatherings.

Just blocks from Lake Morton, Florida Southern College, and Downtown Lakeland — this is historic district living at its finest. A rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready 100-year-old home with character, craftsmanship, and modern practicality.
