NO HOA! Nestled beneath a canopy of mature oaks in the highly sought-after Deerbrook Community of South Lakeland. This beautifully remodeled home offers the warmth and character of a Northern-style retreat with 3 oversized bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 1,778 square feet of living space. Crafted from termite-resistant Georgia pine, the home features rustic charm with the peace of mind that comes from durable construction. Inside, the inviting two-story layout has been extensively updated between 2018 and 2019, including a full electrical upgrade (2018), new water heater (2018), updated plumbing (2019), and a new AC system (2019), ensuring the home is truly move-in ready. The spacious primary suite is a true highlight, featuring a beautifully remodeled en-suite bath (2019) with an oversized walk-in shower that feels like your own private spa. A traditional wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy focal point for relaxing evenings, while the soon-to-be-installed new roof (2025) adds major value and peace of mind for the next owner. Step outside to a backyard designed for memory-making—string lights, a fire pit, and a gentle stream at the rear of the property set the stage for quiet mornings or festive gatherings under the stars. Zoned for top-rated schools such as George Jenkins High, and located just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this home also offers an easy commute to both Tampa and Orlando. If you're looking for a home that blends charm, thoughtful updates, and a serene outdoor setting, this Lakeland gem checks every box.
