$203,000
Under $205K in Auburndale and the expensive work is already done, the rest is yours to make. Here's the thing nobody tells you about buying a 1963 block home: it isn't the kitchen that wrecks your budget, it's the roof, the AC, and the plumbing hiding inside the walls, the five figure surprises that turn a bargain into a money pit. At 220 Pinehurst, every single one of them has already been handled. Roof 2022. HVAC 2021. Water heater 2023. The entire home has been replumbed from original to PVC, no galvanized and no guessing. The electrical panel has been upgraded to a modern Square D. Solid block construction on a slab, Flood Zone X, no HOA, and an irrigation well and pump already on the property to keep that big lawn green on your terms, and while the well hasn't been run in a few years and its condition is unknown, the infrastructure is in the ground and ready for someone to bring it back. That's the part that's finished, and here's the part that's exciting, because inside, this home is a blank canvas, and at this price, an affordable one. The bones are genuinely good, and original terrazzo runs throughout the home, the kind of mid century flooring people now pay to restore. The kitchen and single bath are clean, functional, and thoroughly original, waiting for the finishes you'd choose yourself instead of paying a premium for someone else's taste. Bring paint, bring flooring, bring your ideas, this is a home you get to make your own from the studs of a solid structure outward. Then there's the Florida room, wrapped in windows on every side and pouring in light, looking straight out onto the back landscape, ideal as an office, studio, playroom, plant room, or morning coffee room, 320 square feet of bonus space that's yours to define. Step outside and the lot sells itself, nearly a quarter acre, 140 feet deep, anchored by a magnificent front camphor tree with a canopy that takes decades to grow and can't be bought at any price, while the backyard opens into a private green backdrop of mature trees with room to garden, to play, and to build the outdoor space you've been picturing, and because the street doesn't cut through to anywhere, it stays quiet. Mariana Woods puts you minutes from Lake Ariana, downtown Auburndale, and I-4, meaning Lakeland, Tampa, and Orlando are all an easy drive, with Polk County taxes, no HOA dues, and low carrying costs. Solid systems, rare lot, and a blank canvas priced to move at $203,000. Some homes you buy finished, this one you get to finish yourself and build real equity doing it, so schedule your showing before it's gone. All information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer and buyer's agent to verify all measurements, room sizes, systems, and property information, including the condition and functionality of the irrigation well and pump.
