223 MARTIN DRIVE, Lakeland, FL, 33809

From the moment you step inside, you can feel how well this home has been loved and cared for. Built in 2006 with sturdy 2x6 construction, this three-bedroom, two-bath home offers the solid feel of a modular while delivering the warmth and comfort of a place meant to be lived in and enjoyed. The split floor plan creates just the right balance of privacy and open living. Tile floors flow through the main spaces, complemented by smooth drywall that gives the home a clean, finished look. The primary suite feels like a true retreat, featuring a custom walk-in shower and thoughtfully designed built-in storage. Even the widened doorway to the primary bedroom was planned with ease and accessibility in mind. This home truly shines when it comes to efficiency and peace of mind. Big-ticket updates have already been handled, including a new roof and A/C in 2023. Double-pane windows with a transferable warranty, a tankless water heater, permanent air filter, high-end water filtration system, newer septic drain field, and whole-house surge protection all work together to keep utility costs low and comfort high. One of the favorite spaces is the enclosed 10x17 screen room with waterproof flooring — perfect for morning coffee, evening relaxation, or hosting friends without worrying about the weather. Outside, there’s no shortage of storage and workspace with a double-wide carport, a 10x24 golf cart garage with electricity and overhead door, and a 12x30 workshop complete with its own breaker box. A generator hookup adds another layer of preparedness. Located in Martin Estates, a friendly resident-owned co-op community, this home offers both affordability and stability. As a resident stockholder, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind of approximately 60 years remaining on the 99-year land lease, with an incredibly low monthly maintenance fee of just $46. Community amenities include a clubhouse, shuffleboard, and a neighborhood pool — perfect for enjoying the Florida lifestyle. Well-built, thoughtfully upgraded, and move-in ready, this home isn’t just a place to live — it’s a place to feel at home.
