Value-priced and ready to move in is just the beginning of the good things you can find in this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home. You can see Lake Ariana in your rear view mirror as you turn into the wide circular drive with a decorative brick patterned edging. The home is situated to take full advantage of the over-sized corner lot. An incredible mature oak tree is centered between the circular drive and a Viburnum hedge that lines the front of the property. A duo of Robellini Palms greets visitors as they come up the walk to the portico entry of the two-story home. As you step inside you will immediately notice the feeling of large living spaces unfolding before you. The long living room is well lit from both the new ceiling fan and the multitude of windows, each with vertical blinds and curtains. Neutral toned Berber carpeting is fairly new and runs throughout the home. The dining room is another example of an open space with natural light and it has a beautiful new chandelier with a combination of traditional and contemporary styling. Your room by room tour will unveil updated lighting fixtures that add warmth and character the home. A right turn takes you into the kitchen. The look has been modernized by the ingenuity and creativity of the current owners. The cabinetry and hardware has a fresh new look. The full backsplash has Tuscan styled tumbled travertine in creamy beige tones. And a Roman shade in a natural fabric covers the window. The dishwasher and smooth-top range are awaiting their new owners. The adjoining breakfast nook features a window seat that looks out onto the pool area. The facing wall has a hand painted mural of a street-side café. The nearby powder bath also has new tile and fixtures set into Venetian plaster walls.
Next is a massive family room complete with computer desk and Florida styled mud room that has a closet for coats and shoes. Open the double doors at the back to reveal a really huge laundry room with shelves, cabinets and a water softener. Take a peek out the porthole window as you pass the first landing of the stairs to the upper story. Look up to see a friendly tree mural and lighting fixtures with a vine pattern that echo the nature setting of the mural. Jus at the top of the stairs you will find a cheerful bedroom painted with A B C blocks. Next you find the main bathroom that has a new tub, tile, vanity and light. Bedroom two is nicely sized with front facing windows. The third bedroom is the largest of the extras and has a handy niche. Then on to the generous master bedroom and bath that has been remodeled with new mirror and a sophisticated sink set in a rich wood vanity. The backyard is fenced with a drive-in area that leads to a paved parking pad. Satsuma orange, grapefruit and tangerines and mango can be enjoyed from your own trees. Sun yourself on the wood deck and then slip into the cool pool. Or relax in the six-person Jacuzzi. For more industrious endeavors head for the workshop and build, repair or create whatever you please. At the end of the block enjoy sunsets over Lake Ariana, swim lessons in the summer or launch your boat to enjoy fishing or skiing. The elementary school is practically around the corner. The high school soccer team has been champion for several years. The historic downtown has a beautiful park, extremely active tennis club and extreme fun in the skate park. Venture further into Polk County for Cypress Gardens and Bok Tower. Make a great impression with dinner at Chalet Suzanne. This is a great place to call home.
