NEW GREAT PRICE! Need MORE space without leaving Lakeland?? Welcome to one of the rarest homes in the neighborhood—this expansive 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom two-story residence is among the largest floor plans in the neighborhood with very few being available for purchase! Built in 2021, this modern home offers the perfect blend of space, functionality, and style. The thoughtfully designed layout features a spacious primary suite conveniently located on the first floor, providing privacy and ease of living. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms along with two versatile flex spaces—ideal for a home office, media room, playroom, or fitness area. At the front of the home, a formal dining room creates an inviting space for gatherings and entertaining, while the open-concept living areas showcase contemporary finishes and modern upgrades throughout. Additional highlights include a 2-car garage with a practical mudroom entry, offering everyday convenience and organization. With its rare size, newer construction, minimal HOA, and flexible living spaces, this home truly stands out as a unique opportunity in a neighborhood with limited supply. This amount of space is hard to come by in Lakeland and perfect for family living. A short drive to Orlando is great for day trips to the theme parks while still being just a few hours from the beaches!
