1515 LEIGHTON AVENUE
Lakeland, FL 33803
$470,000
Welcome to 1515 Leighton Avenue, where classic Lakeland character, an oversized lot, and an incredibly convenient location come together. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street with NO HOA and no flood zone, this spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on more than one-third of an acre and offers the space, flexibility, and charm that can be difficult to find this close to the heart of Lakeland.
Step inside to a freshly updated interior featuring new interior paint throughout and beautifully resurfaced and sealed original terrazzo flooring, preserving the home's mid-century character while giving the space a fresh, clean feel. New windows bring in abundant natural light and energy efficiency, while a vintage fireplace and built-in bookshelves add the kind of architectural personality you simply don't find in every home.
The versatile floor plan provides plenty of room to spread out, with a formal living room and dining room, separate family room, and a large sunroom that offers even more space for entertaining, relaxing, working from home, or creating a playroom or hobby area.
One of the home's most unique features is the oversized laundry and pantry area, complete with built-in storage and enough additional room for a workshop, craft or sewing area, hobby space, or exceptional household storage.
Outside, the more than one-third-acre homesite provides generous front and back yards with plenty of room to garden, entertain, play, or simply enjoy the extra outdoor space. With no HOA, you'll also have added flexibility ...
