Situated on an oversized corner lot with mature oaks and stately palms and a lake view, this desirable home awaits you. Starting with a freshly painted exterior, the whole home exhibits customupgrades and additions. The kitchen has been extended and new cabinets, light fixture and granite countertops have been added. Old style popcorn ceilings have been removed throughout the home. Crown molding, chair rail, decorator colors, wood and tile flooring as well as carpeting dominate the home. New sinks, tub, plumbing, tile and fixtures modernize the bathrooms. The living room offers an exceptional view from the impressive window grouping, a focal point stone fireplace and a ready to go plumbed built in bar. The beamed volume ceiling adds to the expansiveness and openness of the room. For your year round comfort, dual AC units have been replaced and an electric pool heater added. The large screen enclosed sparkling pool and sealed river rock deck provide for both relaxation and recreation. Need more storage space? The Master Closet has been extended and the garage offers attic storage along with built in cabinets. As an extra bonus, there's a second refrigerator and the owner will leave both the washer and dryer. The beautiful lakeside neighborhood of Valencia Wood Hills consists of well maintained homes which exhibit similar pride of ownership. The community is conveniently located for easy access to Winter Haven and famous Cypress Gardens.
