Property Description

5195 Highlands Lakeview – Gated Pool Home in Highlands-By-The-Lake, Lakeland, FL Welcome to 5195 Highlands Lakeview, a beautifully maintained pool home located in one of Lakeland’s most sought-after gated communities. Set on a manicured half-acre lot, this custom-built home offers four bedrooms, three full baths, and a layout designed for comfort, function, and easy everyday living. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the open, inviting feel—tall ceilings, plenty of natural light, and no carpet anywhere in the home. The great room features a double tray ceiling, a full wall of sliding glass doors, and direct access to the pool and lanai. It’s the kind of space that works just as well for quiet evenings at home as it does for entertaining friends and family. The kitchen was completely remodeled in 2021 and now includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a breakfast bar, double ovens, a wine chiller, and generous prep and storage space. It’s designed to make cooking and gathering easy, whether it’s a casual breakfast or a holiday dinner. The first-floor primary suite feels like a private retreat with a sitting area, pool access, dual walk-in closets, and a stunning 2024 remodeled bathroom featuring quartz-topped vanities, custom cabinetry, a soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower. Just off the primary suite is the office or fourth bedroom, ideal for remote work, guests, or a nursery. Another first-floor bedroom sits conveniently near the updated guest bath, which includes new tile, a quartz vanity, and a tub-shower combination. Upstairs, a spacious second living area connects to the home’s third bedroom and another full bath, making it perfect for guests, family, or even a private workspace. A walk-in attic provides excellent storage and potential for future expansion. Step outside and the backyard delivers the best of Florida living. The screened lanai includes a covered sitting area with TV hookup and a sparkling pool with a waterfall feature—ideal for relaxing weekends, barbecues, or evening swims. This home has been carefully updated over the years to provide both style and peace of mind. Recent improvements include new double-pane windows and sliders installed in 2023, a composite front door added the same year, two new AC units replaced in 2022 and 2023, a new roof in 2018, and remodeled bathrooms completed in 2024 and 2025. The property also includes a large laundry room, a three-car side-entry garage with extra storage, ample driveway parking, and a fenced backyard for added privacy. Highlands-By-The-Lake offers gated access, a community clubhouse, tennis and pickleball courts, and a neighborhood pool. The location is ideal—peaceful and private, yet just minutes from shopping, dining, schools, and medical facilities. Living in Lakeland means being surrounded by lakes, parks, trails, and great local events like the Sun ’n Fun Fly-In, Mayfaire-by-the-Lake, and the Downtown Farmers Market. With Lakeland Linder Airport now offering commercial flights, and Tampa and Orlando both less than an hour away, travel is easy and convenient.
