Calling all local history buffs: this home located in Lakeland’s Beacon Hill Historic District might be just the thing you’re looking for. 2016 Seminole Trail just hit the market, but it’s not just any historic home.
Located on the corner of Beacon Road and Seminole Trail, the land that the home sits on was sold by the US government to Laura T. Wiggins in 1887 — just two years after Lakeland was incorporated — making her one of the first female property owners in the city.
Around 30 years later, Wiggins sold the land and the Queen Anne-style home there today was built in 1926 — albeit with a few less modern comforts, like a wine fridge + updated appliances. Before becoming a traditional residential home, the property served as a guest house for a decade.
Now, nearly 100 years since being built, the four-bed, three-bath, 2,304-sqft home is seeking its next owner. Take a virtual tour.
