Beautiful Lakefront Home On Haines City’s Lake Eva For Sale

This 1958 original Florida-style home has been renovated well beyond its original beauty with upgrades and restoration throughout.  A beautiful home on a one acre lot with 200 feet of frontage on Lake Eva, the location is immediately adjacent to the new $30 million Lake Eva Park.

Every room in this well designed home provides stunning vistas of Lake Eva from the prime location on the tranquil cove on which it sits.  The sunsets are spectacular!

The home is in immaculate condition – no work to be done, just move in and begin enjoying the spectacular sunsets over the lake this property borders – at a bargain price nonetheless. In all, over $120,000 in upgrades in the last 7 years will provide many years of maintenance free living.

Take a look at all the improvements recently made to bring this executive home to better than originally built condition:

• Swimming pool with large screen enclosure and sun porch accented by beautiful brick pavers and tile that match steps leading into house
• Step-in hot tub immediately outside master bathroom
• All new kitchen with granite counters, maple cabinets and ceramic tile floors (with matching tile backsplash) and all brand new Thermadore and Maytag stainless appliances
• New 30 year roof and attic vents just installed in 2008
• Refinished original oak floors (original narrow oak floor you can’t buy today)
• New hot water heater for bathrooms, and new tankless water heater for kitchen and laundry
• Ceilings and walls retextured and repainted throughout entire home in 2009 providing a flawless like-new look and feel
• New energy efficient vinyl windows installed throughout to replace the original jalousie windows, but still provide the original Florida home style and appeal
• New ceiling fans in the bedrooms
• Enclosed indoor shop provides convenience to tools or could be used as a den, crafts room or even a 4th bedroom
• Boat dock with concrete walking steps across the beach access
• Newly re-sodded lawn

A large (30x14) Florida Room adjacent to an equally oversized living and dining room provides a huge open area with breathtaking sunset views, making this a prefect home for entertaining guests.

The surrounding foliage and tropical landscaping provide unbelievable seclusion to this property located at the end of a dead-end drive.  You will marvel at the privacy surrounded by nature -- private views of heron, egrets, bald eagles and other wildlife -- yet the property is so conveniently located right next to the new Lake Eva Park and within 10 blocks of Haines City’s historic downtown currently being renovated. Great fishing off the dock (see photo of 7 lb bass landed during lunch one day). 

It is a very short walk to enjoy all of the park amenities (water-park, outdoor amphitheatre, fitness center with basketball and tennis courts, kids playground, banquet center).  Weekend events every month provide free entertainment and the very popular walking path around the park begins right at the corner of the street.  All schools (K-12) are also within short walking distance as this home location is right in the middle of it all, yet so secluded you would think you live in the country.

Mature oak and palm trees, tropical foliage and many healthy fruit trees (avocados, oranges, grapefruits, pummelo, papaya, tangerine, lemon and a large vegetable garden area) accentuate the one-acre lot and provide fresh fruit almost year-round. 

A two-car carport with a partially enclosed lawnmower storage area provides security and easy access to yard tools.  House even comes with a John Deere Commercial mower for quick mowing of the property. A bathroom adjacent to the carport and storage area and an outdoor potting sink with running water provide easy clean-up and a great spot for potting plants and playing outdoors on the beautiful property.

This home last appraised in 2006 for $517,000 and is a steal for just $360,000 considering all of the upgrades done on the home since that date.

Additional Opportunity!

Adjacent Home under the same ownership could be used as an In-Law Home or could become Bed & Breakfast to service Lake Eva Banquet Center events!

Also has potential as a Retail Business, Dr.’s Office or a larger two-home multi-family estate on 2.5 acres of land

If you have an extended family, in-laws to care for, a desire to run a Bed & Breakfast or another retail business to service the Lake Eva Park patrons, you may want to consider the adjacent 1.5 acre lot with an additional home available as a two-home estate in a package deal.

Adjacent 3,032 square foot home on the contiguous property is available (for an additional $257,000).  Second home has 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and includes a giant swimming pool in a large screened enclosure.  This home has also been renovated and is not only gorgeous inside with original hardwood floors and renovated kitchen, but has two large open living areas that could easily adapt to change the structure from a residence to a quaint B&B, or provide for additional family members to live adjacent to your lakefront estate. 

The last 6 photos in the photo section are of the second home.  The aerial photos show the proximity of both homes to each other and adjacency to Lake Eva Park (the second home denoted with the "A" in the aerial photographs).  

Either home can be purchased separately, or purchase the pair together and a discount will be offered.  This is a rare opportunity to purchase two large homes together on a 2.5 acre contiguous lakefront property.

Realtors will be provided a 3% buyers brokerage fee, or take 3% off the selling price if you are shopping without the assistance of a realtor.
