Property Description
Step into this lovingly maintained 1978 lakefront gem in beautiful Winter Haven, where timeless character meets exciting potential. Set on a stunning lake with its own refurbished private dock (2023), this home offers peaceful water views, daily wildlife sightings—think eagles, otters, and sandhill cranes—and a lifestyle that’s hard to match. Inside, much of the home retains its original 1978 finishes, offering the rare chance to create a truly unique, gorgeous, and character-rich living space. You’ll immediately notice the soaring vaulted ceilings accented by real wood beams and trim, a classic feature you can’t recreate today. The full-wall fireplace anchors the family room, and the bay window and majestic columns in the living room add dramatic architectural flair. The stone-floored entryway sets the tone for the home’s warm, inviting personality. Several key updates give peace of mind, including newer attic blown insulation (2021), a new AC and water heater (2025), and a durable 50-year metal roof (2003). The home is connected to public water, public sewer, and natural gas, and also offers the security of a Generac whole-home generator system. With two hot water heaters, comfort is always well supplied. The layout features three bedrooms plus a fourth bedroom/den/in-law suite complete with its own en suite bath. Two of the bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled, and newer flooring appears throughout much of the home. The primary suite includes two walk-in closets and even a built-in wall safe for added convenience. For hobbyists and organizers, the garage is a dream—fully equipped with peg boards and storage shelving. The home also includes an original whole-house vacuum and original security system (both unused by current owners) for those who appreciate vintage features with restoration potential. Enjoy Florida living on the expansive screened-in back porch, perfect for watching lakefront sunsets or entertaining guests. Best of all, this property is not in a flood zone, adding security to its incredible location. Cherished by the same family for many years, this one-of-a-kind home is ready for its next chapter—whether you embrace its 1978 charm, update it into something spectacular, or both. Opportunities like this don’t come around often.
