NO HOA! An extraordinary and rare opportunity to own a home that has it all, and is so conveniently close to Winter Haven, Auburndale and Haines City. This 3 BR, 2 Bath, pool home, sits on a half-acre and has an extra-large metal building, complete with garage door, that is ideal as a work building or storage for boats or equipment; and yet another storage, workshop-shed for even more work room. This is all in addition to the large, oversized, two-car garage. The home was recently and tastefully remodeled throughout, including all-new flooring. Auburndale and Haines City are less than a half-hour’s drive. Polk State College and downtown Winter Haven are minutes away. Did we say: NO HOA? The remodeled kitchen has all new, never-used stainless steel appliances, loads of cabinet space; a walk-in pantry and a cozy breakfast nook. The formal dining room and living room are large enough for big gatherings during the holidays. A separate bonus room overlooks the screened-in pool and can be used as a work-from-home office, game room, or theater room. The large master BR suite includes a walk-in closet and beautiful master-bath shower. Sliding-glass doors open directly from the master suite, and the formal dining room, into the large, covered, screened porch and pool area. This home also has plenty of storage with a bath/linen closet; large, walk-in hallway closet; foyer coat closet; and walk-in kitchen pantry. The second and third bedrooms are roomy with large closet spaces. There is also plenty of room to spread out and picnic under the emerald canopy of oaks in the private, large, tranquil parklike backyard; or just spend quality time with family or friends in the heated, in-ground pool. The fenced side yard is large enough to play a quick game of football or grow a nice-sized garden. There's even a view of Lake Buckeye from the property. This property is high and dry and was not adversely affected by Hurricane Ian. Amenities include: A large, 31 X 24 metal building with garage door, great for storage or workshop; a second 13 X 12 storage shed; oversized, two-car garage; garage door opener; new hot water heater (2022); new window treatments (2022); new carpet (2022); new laminate flooring (2022); never-used kitchen appliances (2022) to include refrigerator, stove, microwave, dishwasher; new tile flooring in both bathrooms (2022); new tile master bath shower (2022); new bathroom vanities in both baths (2022); new laminate kitchen countertops (2022); fresh interior paint top to bottom throughout home; and ceiling fans throughout. The exterior has also been freshly painted. Winter Haven is known as the Chain of Lakes City, with nine canal-connected lakes in the city that make up a 6000-acre chain where fishing and boating are extremely popular; and is home to Legoland, Florida. Winter Haven is an hour’s drive from Orlando’s attractions; slightly more than an hour from Tampa; and about two hours to the beaches on the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.
