Welcome to this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2-car garage home set on a little over a quarter acre on a quiet dead-end road near historic Lake Ariana, with NO HOA and NO CDD. Centrally located between Tampa and Orlando with quick access to I-4, this home offers space, privacy, and updates that new construction simply can't match. Recent upgrades provide true peace of mind: new roof (2020), new HVAC (2024), new water heater (2026), and new vinyl fencing (2025) featuring a double gate on the side for easy boat, RV, or trailer access. Thoughtful infrastructure details include plumbing routed through the ceiling rather than the floor, and Ethernet wiring in every room, ideal for remote work or a fully connected smart home. The oversized 2-car garage even features its own mini-split AC system, perfect as a workshop, gym, or flex space. Inside, a smart split floor plan offers privacy and flow: two bedrooms and a full bath on one side of the home, with a private primary suite retreat on the other featuring dual walk-in closets and an updated en-suite bath with dual showerheads. A separate formal dining room and a breakfast nook off the kitchen provide defined living spaces with flexibility for everyday life and entertaining alike. The true showstopper is the oversized, fully screened back porch, complete with a full bar seating 5-6, upgraded ceiling fans, and a triple slider connecting directly to the living room. Step beyond the porch into a fully fenced backyard oasis featuring a shed, greenhouse, and mature fruit trees, all within a well-established, tranquil neighborhood with generous space between homes. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready home with genuine character, meaningful upgrades, and real privacy in one of Auburndale's most desirable pockets. Assumable FHA loan available at 2.75% interest, a rare opportunity in today's market. Schedule your private showing today.
