Privately positioned on a gorgeous .70-acre cul-de-sac homesite in the gated South Lakeland community of Millbrook Oaks, this beautifully updated pool home offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and a private office. This thoughtfully appointed home balances comfortable everyday living with inviting spaces for entertainment. Natural light fills the main living areas, while the updated kitchen takes center stage with custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and a spacious island overlooking the dining and family rooms. The private primary suite offers a relaxing retreat, while four additional bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests, work or hobbies. Outside, the Florida lifestyle truly comes to life. A screened pool, covered lanai and expansive fenced backyard create a private setting for morning coffee, weekend gatherings or quiet evenings beneath the mature trees. With no rear neighbors and a peaceful, wooded backdrop, the backyard feels like a retreat of its own. One of the property's most unique features is its direct access to LOYCE E. HARPE PARK (CARTER ROAD PARK) via a bridge just steps from the property, putting miles of walking and biking trails, playgrounds, sports fields and outdoor recreation practically at your doorstep. Millbrook Oaks offers a peaceful setting while being conveniently located near shopping, dining, medical facilities, schools, the Polk Parkway, Hwy 60, and Central Florida's many attractions.
