If there’s one thing we love about Lakeland’s real estate scene, it’s the wide variety of homes that make it up, from luxurious lakefront estates to cozy cottages. But not every home can be move-in ready from the get-go.
In honor of May being National Home Improvement Month, take a look at these five Lakeland fixer-uppers that — with a little bit of TLC — could be your next dream home.
For those just starting out
At just 936 sqft, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom central Lakeland home is ideal for first-time homebuyers or those looking to downsize who aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, but want to keep their projects to a manageable size.
For the endless entertainer
Between the large backyard, spacious kitchen, outdoor patio, and oversized living room, this home situated in the Lakeland Highlands area is ready to be made over by those who want to host with the most.
For the vintage visionary
Built in 1920, this historic Lake Hunter Terrace estate is the definition of “good bones,” making it the perfect project for someone who wants to tap into their inner interior designer without worrying about infrastructure.
For those seeking a challenge
If you’re wanting to put your skills to the test, look no further than this Medulla home that is an entirely blank slate, ready to be guided by expert hands to its full potential.
For the location lover
If you find yourself hung up on location, location, location, this quiet, southwest Lakeland property might speak right to your soul. Take it from real estate agent Ashley Mossow who says, “With some TLC and a touch of handyman magic, you can transform this space into something truly special.”
