  • <1 day on market
Welcome to 228 Azalea St., a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath residence built with sturdy concrete block construction on a generous corner lot of over 1/4 acre. The expansive front yard, combined with its prime corner location, ensures ample space from neighbors and lends a welcome sense of privacy. Inside, the home offers more than 1,700 square feet of comfortable living space. Modern luxury vinyl plank flooring extends throughout the living areas, while the bathrooms have been updated with tiled showers. The kitchen is equipped with updated appliances, granite countertops, and new light fixtures. The home's multiple entries provide the flexibility to create a private mother-in-law suite or primary. Attic insulation has been recently added, and the well-maintained A/C system with a large air handler helps keep utilities in check. Step outside to enjoy a side-yard oasis enclosed by a 6-foot wood privacy fence, shaded by mature trees. Two separate driveways, one of which was replaced in 2023, offer plenty of parking, and the two-car garage features automatic door openers — a rare convenience in this neighborhood. Practical upgrades include a termite bond, a roof and water heater both under five years old, surge protection built into the electrical panel, and newly installed gutters. Brick steps and a chipped porch lend Old Florida character, while extra outdoor outlets add convenience for yard work and entertaining. Located in the heart of Lakeland, the property provides easy access to shopping, dining, schools, and major roadways. The hot tub on a brick pad is not included in the sale price but may be negotiated for interested buyers.

How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
