A columned front porch shaded by mature oaks welcomes you to this custom Ernie White pool home in South Lakeland's gated Bristol Oaks community. Designed with a split floor plan, the home offers four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dedicated office, a side-entry garage, and a roof replaced in 2022. Hardwood floors run through the main living areas, where crown molding, paneled wainscoting, and a brick fireplace with a detailed mantel showcase the home's traditional craftsmanship. The formal dining room offers a setting for dinner parties, while the kitchen's wraparound breakfast bar keeps guests connected to the family room. White cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting finish the kitchen, and the breakfast nook looks out over the pool. The primary suite is tucked into its own wing, with hardwood flooring, walk-in closets, and French doors that open to the lanai. The en suite bathroom features separate vanities, a soaking tub, and a glass-enclosed tiled walk-in shower. On the opposite side of the home, three additional bedrooms feature new carpet, and the hallway bath opens directly to the screened pool and patio. Spend mornings under the covered lanai and afternoons by the in-ground pool, with room to dine and lounge overlooking the fenced backyard. The home is close to shopping and dining, with convenient access to I-4 for travel to Tampa and Orlando.
