About this home
1201 S LINCOLN AVENUE
Welcome home to this charming home offering an open layout, spacious living areas, and several recent improvements. The family room features a vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, and an eye-catching floor-to-ceiling fireplace that creates a striking focal point. The dining area flows into the kitchen, giving the main living spaces an open and connected feel. The kitchen features granite countertops, rich wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, and plenty of counter space. The primary suite includes a private bath, while two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, a home office, hobbies, or everyday living. Recent improvements include a new A/C system in 2025, new ductwork in 2026, fresh interior paint, a new garage door opener, and a new paver patio with basketball hoop. The electrical panel was replaced in 2020, and the windows were replaced during the home's 2018 renovation. Outside, the fenced yard provides plenty of usable outdoor space, while the detached garage offers additional parking and storage. The new paver patio creates another spot to enjoy the outdoors, and the nearby lake is just a short walk away.

Downtown Lakeland's restaurants, shops, entertainment and community events are just minutes away, while the city's signature lakes, parks and recreation are all within easy reach.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
