This cozy cottage with a lakeview is waiting for you to call it "home sweet home." The renovated one bedroom, one bath is perfectly located for an owner who works at the Winter Haven Hospital, Bond or Gessler Clinics, or an employee or student of Polk State College. Throughout the home is a dark gray slate tile that contrasts nicely with the freshly painted white walls. Large windows look out over the mature yard to the view of Lake Martha. A pass through to the bright kitchen is convenient and could be used as a seating area complimented with bar stools. Custom-made kitchen cabinets, rich granite counter tops, and a stainless-steel apron sink are the perfect additions to the space. The eat-in kitchen is spacious - just the right size for a charming dining room table and chairs. A dream-of-walk-thru-closet in between the nicely-sized bedroom and the bath is waiting to be filled with your clothes, shoes, and accessories. The entrance to the closet boasts a bank of built-in drawers and a separate group of built-in cabinets. The spa-like bath is made private with a trendy barn door. The walk-in shower is ample and features a beautiful selection of tile in hues of gray. In the yard, the mature landscaping is lush and encompasses the generous lot. There is a large shed inside the fenced-in backyard - perfect for storage or big enough to use as a workshop or "she shed." The washer and dryer are conveniently located under the carport with easy access from the house. New exterior gray doors welcome visitors to your home. This perfect place for the perfect owner is located in a quiet, established neighborhood close to the Winter Haven Hospital and Gessler Clinic and is very close to Polk State College and Bond Clinic. It is also close to downtown Winter Haven, restaurants, medical care, and churches; lots of lakes and activities. Just a little over an hour to either Orlando or Tampa International Airports; less than an hour to the Magic Kingdom, and 90 minutes to either coast.
