Description

CUTE and COZY and situated in a quiet setting, this remodeled 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has the option of converting the 13’ x 13’ dining room into a 3rd bedroom, if needed. This home is located just 1 block away from Lake Wailes Lake and the walking trail around it in a quiet neighborhood with no thru traffic since 5th Street only runs between E Polk Avenue and E Johnson Avenue. This home had major remodeling in 1989 which included a 14’ x 28’ addition to the rear of the home and the kitchen, family room and inside laundry were relocated in this new heated square footage, and the 2nd bathroom was added here too. Additional updates included a remodel of the master bath, dry wall installed on the interior walls, new 8’ drop ceiling, the entire home was rewired and a new 150-amp electric box installed, vinyl siding was installed on the exterior of the home with new soffit and fascia and the entire home was reinsulated. More recent upgrades include new double pane windows, new paint, lighting and ceiling fans and a driveway on either side of the home for cars, boats, etc. This 0.27 acre lot offers a large fenced in back yard and a new backyard deck where you can sit and relax and/or tinker in your 15’ x 20’ workshop/shed or use it for additional storage. NO HOA FEES! NO DEED RESTRICTIONS! This home shows PRIDE OF OWNERSHIP! Located just a short distance to schools, shopping, and some of the most beautiful lakes central Florida has to offer. Orlando and Tampa are just an hour away. "Check out the 3D Interactive Virtual Tour” then call to schedule your private showing.
