THE SETTING, AND THE DETAILS

A closer look.

Virtually Staged. Welcome to the Chain Life! Situated on a spacious 0.47-acre lot with no HOA, this beautifully updated lakefront property on Lake Howard offers a rare opportunity to enjoy life on the renowned Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. One of the home's most desirable features is the beautifully remodeled studio-style guest suite with its own private entrance and en-suite bathroom. Complete with a wood-burning fireplace and ample space to add a kitchenette, this versatile space is ideal as a mother-in-law suite, private guest quarters, home office, or game room. This property would make a great short term rental for VRBO or Airbnb! The main residence features 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with numerous updates throughout. The renovated kitchen showcases new cabinetry, beautiful granite countertops, a stainless steel range and microwave, breakfast bar seating, and picturesque views of the backyard. Wood flooring flows through the spacious living areas, including formal living and dining rooms, an open kitchen, and a comfortable family room designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite offers a private en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and access to the beautifully remodeled guest bathroom that features a relaxing tub. Fresh interior paint and numerous recent improvements make the home truly move-in ready. Additional features include a well-equipped laundry room with cabinetry, utility sink, and a refrigerator, an oversized 24' x 26' two-car garage with built-in storage closets, rain gutters, a lake-fed irrigation system, a deep driveway with plenty of parking, and two A/C systems installed in 2021 and 2023. Step outside and enjoy the Florida lifestyle. Relax with your morning coffee on the covered front porch overlooking Lake Howard, or entertain family and friends on the expansive concrete patio overlooking the spacious backyard. Across the street, your private dock provides direct access to Lake Howard and the famous Winter Haven Chain of Lakes, connecting you to 20 navigable lakes. Spend your days boating to waterfront restaurants and bars, watching seasonal Legoland fireworks from the water, seeing seaplanes take off from Lake Jessie, or visiting the Moose Lodge for dining and social events, all which area accessible by boat. Conveniently located between Tampa and Orlando, Winter Haven offers easy access to major airports, Gulf and Atlantic beaches, and a vibrant downtown filled with locally owned restaurants, craft cocktail bars, a brewery, boutiques, and a popular weekly farmers market. Don't just live on the water—experience the unmatched lifestyle of the Winter Haven Chain of Lakes. Schedule your private showing today.
