Property Description

Short Sale. Short Sale subject to lender approval. Rare value-add opportunity offering 3,700+ sq ft under roof on an approximately 0.41-acre lot in Lakeland. Property is sold as-is and requires only kitchen and plumbing updates. Seller will provide credit from insurance proceeds, intended to partially offset renovation costs only and not cover the full scope of repairs. Buyer to verify all renovation budgets and feasibility. Recent improvements completed in 2023 include 18 new windows, updated appliances, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a new septic tank and drain field. Energy-efficient systems include 28 paid-off solar panels, a solar water heater, a solar attic fan, and a Generac whole-home generator with a 250-gallon propane tank, recently serviced and capable of powering the property for up to one week, a whole-home water softener/filtration system, and a UV air purification system. The home layout includes multiple living areas, a sunroom, two garages, and an oversized shed, offering flexibility for operational or reconfiguration purposes. No HOA. Convenient access to major highways, hospitals, and shopping. The size, layout, and lot configuration present potential for income-producing or business-use strategies, including group housing, transitional housing, assisted living–style operations, or other permitted uses, subject to zoning, licensing, and buyer due diligence. Buyers can apply for an FHA 203(k) loan to finance the renovations. Military veterans can inquire about a VA Renovation Loan.
