For all practical purposes, this is a 2-bedroom 1-bath single family home, where the back porch was enclosed and turned into a 2nd bedroom. A covered front screen patio faces Memorial/Manatee Dr, serving as the main entry into this house. When entering the home, you encounter a very large great room with 7 windows to keep it bright & airy that contains an amply sized tiled floor living area, dining area (that can also be office space), plus kitchen area. Straddling the hallway is bedroom 1 on left + a roomy bathroom to the right; then step down into the converted 2nd bedroom, where a back door opens onto a 2nd patio with a privacy fence + connections for a washer/dryer. Beyond is a big back yard surrounded by trees. The house was painted inside & out in June.

This sale includes a 15,000 sf MOL wooded, unimproved lot adjoining the S property line, which fronts Memorial Dr. Both properties are in Flood Zone X and are conveniently located a short distance from: Highlands County's newest Elementary School campus ... Advent Hospital with nearby medical offices & specialist/imaging clinics ... Walmart & US 27 retail shopping centers of grocery, department, big box national chain stores, professional offices, auto shops, banks, restaurants & entertainment venues. Within a 10-minute radius are 9 recreation/fishing lakes with public boat ramps + downtown Sebring Circle with its many seasonally-inspired weekend festivities attracting vendors & visitors nationwide + 7 popular 18+ hole golf courses open to the public. For those who love airplanes, car racing, horses, or mother nature, Sebring is the place for you, as well: the longest running circuit race in all of North America is right here next to our enviably equipped general aviation & industrial airport - the internationally famous 12 Hours of Sebring Raceway. Likewise, Coastal Floridians come to ride and stable their horses here, too, because of our extensive network of equestrian trails, which also includes the historically recognized Florida Cracker Trail ride that occurs every year. We're also home to Florida's first park - Highlands Hammock State Park with 500,000+ visitors annually. And since we're on the original island sand dune that Florida grew from, we're home to many wading/predator birds + plants & animals that have been here since dinosaur times and don't live anywhere else on planet Earth. This is a turn-key property ideally suited for anyone wanting an affordably priced home close to many destinations or for savvy investors looking for a solid rental opportunity.
