Welcome to our 5 Star enchanting 2BR/2BA completely remodeled historic bungalow, where timeless charm meets modern convenience, offering a lifestyle experience that's both nostalgic, refreshing, and always cool with brand new A/C! Step into a world where every corner tells a story, inviting you to slow down, savor the moment, and embrace the simple pleasures of life.

Inside, you'll find original hardwood floors whisper tales of bygone eras and cozy furnishings beckon you to relax and unwind. Sink into the plush sofa or curl up with a book on the bungalow’s screened lanai, letting the serenity of the atmosphere transport you to a place of tranquility. Or breath in the fresh tropical air and enjoy your morning coffee on your large private deck.

The fully equipped kitchen with a new gas cooktop is a haven for culinary enthusiasts. Prepare your favorite coffee from a wide selection including a pour over, nespresso, drip, and french press! Simply enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the large dining table, soaking in the morning sunlight streaming through the windows or step out onto the deck or lanai to breath in the fresh Florida mornings!

In the bedrooms tranquility reigns supreme with soft linens, plush pillows, and gentle lighting creating an ambiance of serenity and relaxation. Drift off to sleep in the comfort of a King-sized bed in the primary bedroom or enjoy the flexibility of the Queen-sized bed plus small children's bunk beds in the second bedroom, perfect for families traveling together. NOTE: TOP Bunk weight limit 100lbs, Bottom bunk weight limit 150lbs.

The bathrooms are your personal retreats, where vintage-inspired fixtures and modern amenities come together to create an oasis of relaxation. Pamper yourself with a long soak in the original 1920’s refurbished clawfoot tub or invigorate your senses with a refreshing shower in the Primary en-suite and luxury toiletries, surrounded by the timeless elegance of brass fixtures and vintage accents.

Outside, the private screened lanai allows for relaxing evenings as you watch the sun go down, plus the backyard invites you to connect with nature and savor the beauty of the outdoors by lounging on the large deck with a glass of wine, surrounded by blooming flowers and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, or fire up the grill for a barbecue with loved ones under the market lights and starlit sky.

Located in the heart of Lakeland, our historic bungalow offers a lifestyle experience that's truly unparalleled. Explore the vibrant neighborhood in the backyard of Frank Lloyd Wrights’s largest creation of Florida Southern Architecture where historic landmarks await around every corner, or simply take a leisurely stroll at sunset around Lake Hollingsworth passing through tree-lined streets, soaking in the beauty of your surroundings.
