With more than 3,100 square feet of versatile living space, this property blends historic charm… Read More with modern flexibility for multigenerational households, remote work, or guests. Steeped in local history, this home was originally built as one of a pair of residences for two brothers and their families.

The thoughtful layout accommodates a range of living needs: A main-level suite is well-suited for extended family or guests. Upstairs bedrooms include generous closets and lake views, offering space and privacy. A dedicated home office with fireplace provides a comfortable setting for remote work. Interior features include a formal dining room with access to a spacious patio and in-ground pool, a bright kitchen overlooking the backyard, and a sun-filled breakfast nook ideal for relaxed mornings. Outdoor amenities include a screened porch, a large front veranda with lake views, and a fully fenced backyard. The lake frontage offers a peaceful setting, with opportunities to enjoy Florida wildlife including herons, ducks, and turtles. A walking trail is planned around Lake Elbert, providing future recreational access nearby. Drop a kayak in for a quick paddle. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Winter Haven, shopping, dining, medical facilities, and entertainment.
