Description of 833/835 JOHNSON AVENUE # 833/835, LAKELAND, FL 33801

Rare opportunity in the highly desirable Lake Morton Historic District! This charming 1925 shotgun bungalow/duplex offers the perfect blend of historic character, in-town convenience, and investment potential in one of Lakeland’s most sought-after locations. Live in one side and rent the other—Unit 833 is currently leased through 8/31/2026—making this an ideal owner-occupant, multigenerational, or income-producing opportunity. Ideally situated on a picturesque one-way brick street, this property places you just moments from Lake Morton, Lake Hollingsworth, Florida Southern College, the Lakeland Public Library, The Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, coffee shops, restaurants, boutique shopping, and all that Downtown Lakeland has to offer. Built in 1925 and offering approximately 1,764 total square feet under the roof (approximately 882 square feet per side), both units feature much of their original charm along with thoughtful updates for modern living. A welcoming rocking-chair front porch sets the tone, while inside each unit offers 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, separate living areas, updated kitchens with white wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliance packages, stackable washers and dryers, ceramic tile flooring throughout for easy maintenance, tankless hot water heaters, and separate utility meters. Unit 835 is considered a 2-bedroom home, with one bedroom lacking a closet, while the second bedroom features a large walk-in closet, private entrance, and updated ensuite bath with walk-in shower—offering flexibility for guests, roommates, or a private home office setup. Additional updates include new A/C systems for both units, a new refrigerator and newer dishwasher in Unit 835, and a new dishwasher in Unit 833. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting, featuring a brick driveway on one side, brick walkway on the other, and a spacious rear brick terrace offering room for seating, entertaining, or open parking, plus a small storage shed and irrigation system. Whether you are looking for a historic in-town residence, investment opportunity, or flexible live/work lifestyle, this unique property delivers location, charm, and versatility. Welcome home! The main house roof is at the end of its useful life and will be replaced by the seller before closing with an acceptable offer.
