412 E PALM DRIVE, Lakeland, Polk, Residential

HISTORIC BUNGALOW! Built in 1925 and located just a few blocks from Lake Hollingsworth, this central Lakeland historic home offers the character, charm, and location that make this area so special, along with a 2022 ROOF and freshly painted exterior! The grand elevation and spacious front porch create a memorable first impression, complete with a welcoming porch swing and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors.

Inside, original pine wood flooring runs throughout the entire home, including the kitchen and bathrooms, creating a seamless flow and adding incredible warmth and depth to each space. Original 1920s windows, rounded archways, built in cabinetry, and a wood burning fireplace further showcase the craftsmanship and period details that have been preserved throughout the home. The home functions as a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath layout, with a spacious primary suite featuring a half bath and a large walk in closet.

The generous layout also provides potential to reconfigure the existing half bath area into a full bathroom. The second bedroom functions better as a den, home office, or flex space and includes the laundry closet as well as its own exterior entrance. The charming kitchen continues the home’s vintage appeal with a porcelain farmhouse sink, full appliance suite, and a unique arched range alcove with a hanging pot rack that adds both character and functional storage.

The full bathroom is generously sized with a large tub and shower combination and painted wood floors that complement the home’s historic aesthetic. The property offers a driveway as well as an additional parking pad accessible from the rear alley, providing two convenient parking options at opposite ends of the property. Additional improvements include a new water heater and termite fumigation completed in 2022.

With its remarkable original details, thoughtful updates, flexible floor plan, inviting front porch, and location just blocks from Lake Hollingsworth, this 1925 home is an opportunity to enjoy a piece of Lakeland history right in the heart of the city.
