The story
Gracious, charming, and undeniably impressive, this stately French Provincial Chateau is positioned on a gated, nearly half-acre lot in the heart of Lakeland’s coveted Lake Hollingsworth area along brick-lined Nevada Avenue. Built in 2011, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence with a dedicated office boasts 14-foot ceilings, magnificent architectural beamwork, corbeled headers, fine wood flooring throughout the main living spaces, and marble tile in the baths and grand foyer. Every window features stained plantation shutters complemented by custom decorator drapery and a whole home generator has recently been installed. Designed for both elevated entertaining and everyday living, the open layout features two cast-stone gas fireplaces, pocketing glass sliders, recently updated HVAC systems, and a light-filled dining and family area. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with custom cabinetry, poured stained concrete countertops, an antiqued copper farmhouse sink, and high-end JennAir appliances with brushed copper accents. Outdoors, a stone-accented lanai with travertine pavers features a full outdoor kitchen, built-in gas grill, and a wood-burning pizza oven, all overlooking a serene, fully fenced backyard with ample room for a pool. The master retreat spans a massive footprint with a detailed wooden tray ceiling, sitting area, double vanities, princess soaking tub, walk-in glass shower, and two walk-in closets. Additional features include a bonus movie room perfect for home theater viewing, an oversized 2-car garage for daily vehicles, and a separate climate-controlled 750 sq. ft. air-conditioned garage and workshop for hobby enthusiasts. Ideally situated just minutes from top Lakeland destinations, dining, and main arterial parkways. Pre-approval or proof of funds required prior to all private showings.
