5425 KINGS MONT CT Lakeland, FL 33813

This house is a truly one-of-a-kind Tudor style home. This home, often referred to by neighbors and friends as “The Castle House”, was the first built in its South Lakeland community. It was built in 1980, but has had just two owners in its 43 years. The grand turret is a focal point of the home's exterior and is the first thing you will see upon walking in the front door. An oversized, rounded, staircase winds up to the second story which looks over into the foyer leaving the inside of the window-lined turret open. The 4,200 square foot house has 4 bedrooms and 2 and a half bathrooms. The oversized second-story main suite includes a large bedroom with front balcony, a hallway with windows that look down into the TV room below, an updated en-suite spa bathroom and a bonus room that's currently used as an office. The main suite also has a spiral staircase that provides direct access to the pool down below. Downstairs, you will find an open concept space with plenty of extra room. Whether you prefer to have a formal dining and living space or playroom and craft rooms, there's room for it all. The grand wood-burning fireplace is an open concept that connects the TV room to the formal living room which is large enough for a sitting area and a grand piano. The open concept kitchen overlooks the TV room and a large bonus space that is currently set up as a game room complete with a card table, bumper pool, full-sized pool table and a bar area. This area was added on in 2003, but includes detailed, hand-crafted, molding that fits in with the style of the home. Also added in 2003 is a large wrap-around pool complete with water features, a sun ledge, hot tub, and waterfall with grotto. Despite the large home and screened-in pool, the property which is situated on nearly half an acre, still has room for a fenced in backyard, playground area, basketball court and sitting area. The roof is less than 10 years old.
