ome tour and make it yours! This custom-designed, lovingly maintained two-story home sits on an oversized, shaded corner lot in Lakeland’s highly desirable Country Oaks neighborhood. You’ll love the location—minutes to golf, shopping, top-rated schools, churches, and medical facilities, with quick access to I-4 for an easy commute to Tampa or Orlando. From the start, the circle driveway and beautifully landscaped yard—complete with uplighting at night—make a memorable first impression. Inside, you’re welcomed by soaring 16-foot ceilings, natural wood walls, and slate tile flooring in the great room. Rich engineered hardwood floors continue throughout the rest of the home. The first-floor primary suite features a custom walk-in closet and a spacious ensuite bath. A second bedroom on the main level is perfect as an office, nursery, or guest room. You’ll also find a convenient half bath with direct access to the pool, plus a laundry room with built-in cabinetry and a utility sink. The spacious kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, cabinet pull-outs, and a breakfast nook overlooking the screened pool and paver patio. A formal dining room with a charming bay window completes the main level. Upstairs, a striking wood staircase leads to two separate loft areas, offering flexible space for a media room, study area, home office, or library. Two generously sized upstairs bedrooms each feature their own bathroom and custom walk-in closet—a rare and valuable layout. Step outside to your private retreat: a heated pool (resurfaced, retiled, and re-screened in 2022) set within a screened enclosure, paver patio, and deck. Just beyond the enclosure is an additional paver patio—ideal for grilling, entertaining, or relaxing around a fire pit. The oversized, deep 3-car garage includes a spacious workshop and utility sink/counter area for easy cleanups. Hurricane-rated garage doors (2022) add peace of mind. Behind two 10-foot-wide privacy gates, you’ll find a 10x30 aluminum-covered parking area—perfect for RV or boat storage. Additional updates include a roof replacement (2012) and two newer A/C units (2016 & 2020). The HOA is voluntary with an annual option. With countless custom touches throughout, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of quality, comfort, and versatility. Come see it for yourself—this is the one you’ve been waiting for!
