Property Description

Here’s your chance to own a tenant-occupied bungalow in one of Lakeland’s most desirable rental locations—just a mile from Lake Hollingsworth, minutes from downtown, and right across from Florida Southern College. With a lease already in place through January, this property offers instant income and plenty of flexibility for the future. Whether you keep it as a reliable rental, renovate to boost value, or reimagine it as student housing or a furnished mid-term rental, the options are wide open. Inside, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home pairs historic character with everyday functionality. Original hardwood floors, natural light, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace create a welcoming living space, while the classic front porch—complete with a swing and ceiling fan—brings timeless curb appeal that tenants love. The kitchen, updated with stainless steel appliances, looks out over the backyard and flows easily into a dining area and versatile bonus room that could serve as an office, study nook, or reading corner. Each bedroom is generously sized, including one with a charming wraparound sitting area. At the rear, a spacious Florida room with wall-to-wall windows and laundry access offers even more flexibility for shared living or quiet retreat. The fenced backyard provides privacy, space to relax, and a shed for storage or potential upgrades. Located in a walkable, historic neighborhood with consistently strong rental demand, this home combines location, charm, and income potential. For seasoned investors or those just stepping into the Lakeland market, this bungalow is a smart opportunity with built-in cash flow and long-term upside. Don’t miss your chance to make it yours!
