Property Description
Under contract-accepting backup offers. Situated on a triple lot in the beloved Beacon Hill historic district, this Dutch Colonial Revival style residence, complete with an inviting covered front porch and quintessential white picket fence, is the epitome of the classic American dream! This neighborhood’s treasured history dates back to the 1920’s, at which time it was a critical center of residential growth and development in Lakeland. As this home soon approaches its centennial year, despite the time that has passed, a sense of tradition and pride of ownership still shines brightly along the tree shaded, sidewalk lined streets of this community to this day. Thanks to a chain of good steward owners, you will be delighted by the various wonderfully preserved treasures around every corner of this home, including gleaming original hardwood floors, antique fixtures and hardware, and charming built-ins. A welcoming foyer leads to the oversized living room, boasting a gas fireplace, mantle, and built-in shelving, collectively creating a comfortable setting for relaxation, conversation, and social gatherings. French doors lead to a cozy flex space, perfect for an office, home gym, or sitting room. Gorgeous natural light is enjoyed through the updated windows with plantation shutters in these areas, and throughout the entire home. The kitchen is a balanced blend of past and present, with stylish black and white tile floors and food-safe butcher block countertops in the main kitchen and dinette. Stainless steel appliances, an impressive light-feature faucet, Swan adorned tile backsplash, and excellent storage in the cabinets, built-ins and closet pantry are key highlights of the kitchen. An attached dining room with its own French doors makes entertaining for large groups or intimate dinner parties a breeze! You will also love the convenience of a powder bath downstairs for your guests. There is even an indoor utility with storage and washer/dryer included; this leads to the back yard, and provides a useful secondary entrance. Upstairs there is an expansive primary bedroom, featuring space for a sitting area or nursery, amazing built-in shelving and vanity, and another gas fireplace. An attached dressing room serves as another adaptable space and leads to the large en-suite bathroom. The bathroom has fantastic storage, plus a pedestal sink and walk-in shower. There are two nice bedrooms and a guest bathroom upstairs, as well - all featuring similar finishes and decorative touches. The home has been lovingly maintained, is move-in-ready, with a brand-new roof, termite warranty, updated electrical and more! The fully fenced back yard is breathtaking, with ample lush green space framing the heated saltwater pool. A shaded tree swing and the pergola over the open porch provide comfortable outdoor seating options, while half of the detached garage was converted to serve as a “pool house” with a convenient half bathroom and an outdoor shower. The other half of the garage has been a storage space and workshop area in recent years. When the pool was installed in 2016, a shuffleboard was discovered, then subsequently unearthed and restored, serving as a fun backyard activity and a special nod to the past. A separate air-conditioned structure is an adorable retreat for private work, leisure or play. All of this, on a .52 acre lot in one of the most sought after and centrally located areas of Lakeland, creates a remarkable opportunity to make this historic home a part of your bright future!

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
