Description

3539 Colleen Dr is a 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath single-family home, 1,064 square feet of living space on a 7,701 square foot lot in North Lakeland, Polk County, FL 33810. Built in 1966 and single story, with the two items that usually cost the most on a house this age, the roof and the kitchen, already done. Curb side, the exterior was freshly painted and carries blue shutters and a red front door, with planting beds along the front wall, a grassed front yard and mature shade trees. A long concrete driveway runs back to a covered carport attached to the house, giving covered parking at the door and open parking for several vehicles side by side. Inside, the plan runs living room to dining area to kitchen with all three bedrooms off a single hallway. Tile covers the kitchen, the dining area and both baths, wood flooring runs through the bedrooms and the hall, ceiling fans are already hung in the living room and in the bedrooms, and windows across the front wall bring light into the main living space. The living room takes the front of the house with room for a full seating group and a media wall. The kitchen is about four years old. Wood cabinetry runs two walls with marble-look counters and a tile backsplash, a stainless range and a stainless over-range microwave, a dishwasher, a double stainless sink and a pantry closet with shelving right off the cooking wall. The dining area sits at the end of the kitchen with room for a table, a utility space near the back door holds a second refrigerator or an upright freezer, and the back door leads straight out to the yard. The full bath has a tile surround tub and shower with grab bars, tile flooring and a wood vanity with cabinet storage. The half bath serves the hallway and bedroom side of the house with its own vanity, cabinet and tile floor. All three bedrooms have a closet, a window and a ceiling fan. Storage runs deeper than the square footage suggests, with bedroom closets, a louvered hall closet, the kitchen pantry and the workshop out back. On systems, the gable asphalt shingle roof is about 10 years old, central heat and air is ducted throughout the house with the ground unit at about 8 years, and the home runs on city water with a septic tank. Known work is interior paint and an air handler replacement, cosmetic and mechanical items rather than structural ones. The back yard is where the square footage stretches. Behind the house sits a second freestanding metal carport on open ground, deep enough for a boat, a trailer, a work truck or a project vehicle, and beside it a detached wood workshop building with power, a service door and a window, sized for tools, equipment and a bench. The yard is fenced, shaded by mature oaks, and open enough to add a slab, a garden or a play area without crowding the house. No pool to maintain. There is no HOA, no rental restrictions and no flood zone designation on this parcel. Nothing has to be run past a board, nothing caps how long or how often it can be rented, and there is no flood zone insurance requirement tied to the property. Live in it, hold it, or put it straight into service as a rental. The location is North Lakeland 33810 in Polk County, inside the corridor served by US 98, Kathleen Road, Interstate 4 and the Polk Parkway, with Lakeland sitting between Tampa and Orlando
