Off the quiet coast of Lake Gibson awaits this beautifully curated and meticulously kept 5 bedroom and 4 bath home, with two primary bedrooms, totaling an impressive 4,522 square feet of living space and the most stunning waterfront views. ‘Spacious’ is the theme of this uniquely charming home, starting with the 0.65 acre lakeside property that it resides on and includes the private dock and your own lanai on the water and boathouse with a lift for enjoying endless days on the water from the comfort of home. A high, vaulted entryway presents a grand first impression of what’s to come, beginning with the foyer on the other side of a pair of glass-paned front doors. The ceilings inside are high as well, with a chandelier hanging above the tiled entry. To the right is a step-down into the first floor office, and ahead lies the dining room and neighboring kitchen. The kitchen’s gray-toned cabinetry frames all stainless steel appliances, and is topped with stone countertops that allow an abundance of preparation space with a wide berth of tiled flooring between. From the kitchen you can enter the base floor’s primary bedroom. This living space exudes charm, with a built-in bookcase, ensuite full bath, and french patio doors to the pool at the rear of the home. The living room can be accessed from the kitchen as well, and opens into a sprawling space with built-in bar, pass-through window from the kitchen, and plenty of windows for natural light. An enclosed lanai branches from here, giving even more sitting room, access to the pool through its pair of french doors, and beautiful lake view through its arrangement of newly installed windows. A second doorway from the living room brings us back to the dining room, which connects to a roomy laundry area, marble-tiled guest bathroom, and two guest bedrooms. Each of these bedrooms is equipped with an overhead fan, and one has a built-in closet while the other possesses a spacious walk-in. The tour resumes at the top of the stairwell, first in an additional living room that completes this second-floor retreat. Another guest bedroom branches from here, with a second guest bathroom available to both the living room and bedroom. Finally we come to the upstairs primary bedroom, a capacious room with an abundance of storage space via two built-in closets and a large walk-in with built-in shelving. The ensuite bathroom has both a jacuzzi tub and long, standing shower to ensure options for relaxation. A sliding door leads from the bedroom to the second floor’s wooden deck, the perfect locale for enjoying a waterfront view. The encaged, stone paver pool deck is a sight to behold, encircling the large pool and extending to a step-down grilling area. Through its screen door, pavers continue to a sitting area below the second floor deck, and further to surround a built-in firepit to enjoy those beautiful starlit nights. A brick path also leads to the lake’s edge, where the property’s dock extends over the water to a covered boat and jet ski lift. This luxurious and generously sized home combines the best elements of Florida, ensuring both indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment via its pool area and boundless access to Lake Gibson. Located just off of Lakeland’s North Florida Ave, the property remains a short distance from Dr. N E Roberts Elementary School and Lakeland Square Mall while retaining the air of a private paradise.

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.
