Situated on a corner lot with ample green space, this property offers plenty of room for outdoor enjoyment or even the addition of a pool, all enjoyed from the comfort of the covered and screened back porch. This sought-after, gated community in South Lakeland provides access to a clubhouse, a pool with spa, tennis and pickleball courts.
