About This Home

Step into a piece of Lakeland history and discover a lifestyle that feels both timeless and wonderfully connected to today. Set on almost 1/2 acre in the heart of the beloved Dixieland District, this distinctive Lake Hunter Victorian captures the romance of another era while offering the modern comforts today's buyer desires. From nearly every room, sweeping views of Lake Hunter create a beautiful backdrop for everyday living. The wrap-around porch may quickly become your favorite place in the home. Imagine coffee and quiet mornings in the porch swing as the day begins over the lake, afternoons spent visiting with friends, and peaceful evenings watching the sky change as the sun sets across the water. This is a home designed not simply for living, but for lingering, gathering and making memories. Inside, original character and gracious proportions create the feeling of a true historic residence. The kitchen blends timeless style with exceptional functionality, featuring granite countertops, rich solid-wood cabinetry, a commercial-grade gas range with double ovens, stainless-steel appliances and a wine refrigerator. The formal dining room and inviting living room provide elegant yet comfortable spaces for holiday dinners, celebrations and evenings with family and friends. The main residence offers four spacious bedrooms and two full baths, with the flexibility to create either an upstairs or downstairs primary suite. Thoughtful updates include updated plumbing and electrical, a tankless water heater and central A/C. The main home and detached garage/in-law suite both feature newer roofs. Beyond the main residence is an exceptional detached two-car garage with a private one-bed, one-bath Studio apartment and an additional over the garage room currently used for storage. Whether you envision this air conditioned storage space as a guest retreat, multigenerational living space, private office, artist's studio or creative escape, this separate space expands the possibilities of the property. Enjoy the best of Lakeland's historic neighborhoods with Lake Hunter at your doorstep and downtown just a short walk away. Restaurants, coffee shops, boutiques, cultural attractions and everyday conveniences are close enough to become part of your daily routine. This is more than a historic home. It is a place to slow down, entertain, create, gather and enjoy the character of old Lakeland—with the lake as your backdrop and downtown just beyond your front door.
