705 Laurel Ln

THE SETTING, AND THE DETAILS

A closer look.

From the moment you step inside 705 Laurel Lane, your eye is drawn through floor-to-ceiling windows to a panoramic view of the pool and lushly landscaped backyard. The 11-foot foyer makes a striking first impression, with the garden as its backdrop and natural light drawing you farther into the home. Set on 0.52 acres just off Hallam Drive in South Lakeland, this single-story ranch offers 2,779 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath. The formal living room takes in the pool and garden views and flows into a dining room with space for a long table. The two rooms connect naturally when you’re hosting, with room for guests to linger over dinner or settle into the living room and take in the view. The eat-in kitchen features granite countertops, a stone backsplash, a built-in oven, a separate cooktop, and a pantry. There’s space for a breakfast table in the kitchen, and the opening to the family room keeps the cook part of the conversation. At 23 by 14 feet, the family room has room for a generous seating arrangement, with a wall of built-in bookshelves for books, artwork, and collected pieces. Plantation shutters, crown molding, plaster walls, and French doors give the interiors the character of a classic ranch. Granite countertops carry into the bathrooms, and a spacious indoor laundry room with a utility sink adds everyday convenience. With four bedrooms on one story, there’s flexibility to set aside a room for overnight guests, a home office, or a quiet place to read. Out back, the 23-by-20-foot screened porch has room for a full dining table and a separate seating area overlooking the 15-by-32-foot private in-ground pool. It’s easy to imagine breakfast outside on a slow morning or dinner on the porch after an afternoon in the pool. The scale of the porch lets you keep both arrangements in place, so the space works as comfortably for two people as it does when friends come over. Mature landscaping lends the backyard a sense of seclusion, with established greenery to enjoy as it is and space to make the garden your own. An attached two-car garage and a separate detached two-car garage provide four bays in all. Keep daily drivers close to the house and use the detached garage for additional vehicles, a workbench, or projects you’d like to leave set up between weekends. New shingle roofs were installed on both the residence and the detached garage in October 2026 and come with a transferable five-year roof warranty. The Hallam Drive location puts schools, shopping, and dining within easy reach, with Cleveland Heights Boulevard, Lake Hollingsworth, and downtown Lakeland a short drive away. Head to the lake for a morning walk, meet friends downtown for dinner, or connect to I-4 via the Polk Parkway for travel toward Tampa or Orlando. Offered at $625,000, 705 Laurel Lane brings together the architectural character of an established South Lakeland home, the flexibility of two garages, and a backyard you’ll want to spend time in. Schedule a private showing and take a moment in the foyer to see how the garden comes into view as soon as you open the front door.
