Overview
Description
Welcome to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom manufactured home in the desirable 55+ waterfront community of Lakeside Hills Estates! This move-in ready home sits on an owned lot and has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout, blending style with easy, low-maintenance Florida living.
The kitchen has been fully renovated with new cabinetry, granite-look countertops, and a striking pressed-tin backsplash, plus stainless steel appliances make this a bright, functional space ready for cooking and entertaining. A charming dining nook with a built-in hutch and a formal dining area with a bay window create additional space to gather, flowing into a spacious living room. A dedicated home office/den with built-in bookshelves offers flexible space for work or hobbies, and the primary suite features updated luxury vinyl plank flooring and an updated en-suite bath with a glass-enclosed shower.
Additional highlights include a newer AC system (installed 2025), a permitted 2015 TPO roof-over, new window awnings, and a large covered carport with a decorative stamped-concrete driveway. Out back, an enclosed "Man Cave" bonus room off the carport — with striking herringbone-pattern flooring and its own central air conditioning adds versatile living or entertaining space, and a separate utility/workshop room rounds out the property.
Residents of Lakeside Hills Estates enjoy resort-style amenities including a lakefront clubhouse, sparkling community pool, hot tub, fitness center, shuffleboard courts, and a covered boat dock with direct lake access that is perfect for boating, fishing, or simply enjoying Florida's natural beauty. This active 55+ community offers HOA-approved residency in a low-maintenance setting close to Lakeland shopping, dining, and medical facilities. The HOA fee includes water, cable, internet, grounds maintenance, and access to the community amenities
