Blocks from the tranquil shores of Lake Arietta in Auburndale, this home is on a private pond - enjoy serene views from almost every room in your new home. No HOA means no dues and no extra rules, bring your boat or RV. Brick construction with 2,956 square feet of living space, on .44 acres, this home has it all - even a separate 2 car garage with room for a workspace. This huge space starts with an impressive entrance and wide staircase. On the main floor you enter into the living and dining areas, with floor to ceiling views of the water and your sprawling yard. The large kitchen is tucked away, with a pantry, island, and space for a dining nook. Primary bedroom is on the first floor, along with a full bath, half bath, and second bedroom that could be your office or nursery. Down the staircase to the first floor - Northerners call this design a “walkout” to the back yard - you will find your game room, family room with fireplace, large bar, and another 2 bedrooms and full bath. This has a private entrance and can be used as an in-law suite. Surrounded by the natural beauty of mature oaks, this residence offers a serene retreat with a touch of Old Florida. Two additional rooms are accessed from outside the porch downstairs, great for storage or a private and quiet home office. They include a shower/mud room area - great after a swim in the pond or after some gardening. Situated minutes from Auburndale's charming downtown area, schools, Lake Myrtle Sports Complex, and the Teco Trails

This home is an ode' to the 70s right now, but with your personalized updates you can make it really stand out as the luxury home it was meant to be. The price point reflects need for repairs (screens damaged from Milton, roof). Seller will contribute $10,000 at closing toward buyer closing costs and repairs. Can close quickly. The probate is clean and the estate is ready to sell - no mess no fuss.
