Property Description
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own one of Lakeland’s most iconic homes, the Glass House, a 5-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom luxury estate designed by renowned architect Bruce Spencer, drawing influence from the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright. Nestled on a sprawling 0.7-acre lot with lush landscaping, this home invites you to experience its thoughtful layout, timeless design, and abundant natural light that will keep you energized and inspired daily. Located just minutes from Lake Hollingsworth in a secluded neighborhood, you will enjoy being near to everything but away from it all. Picture yourself under the palm trees by the custom-designed saltwater pool, soaking up the Florida sun, and unwinding in the jacuzzi under the stars. Sophistication meets functionality with elevated design elements like terrazzo flooring, exposed interior brick, and a captivating floor-to-ceiling brick wood-burning fireplace. The strategic south-facing orientation ensures the entire home is bathed in natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Experience seamless indoor-outdoor living through French doors encircling the heated pool, hot tub, and a private fenced-in backyard. The primary ensuite is a haven of relaxation, featuring terrazzo flooring, a spacious walk-in glass shower, and a private patio. Four additional bedrooms with large windows and skylights are connected by a gallery style hallway with transom windows on the east side. The versatile layout features the perfect space on the west side for a large home office, studio, game room, or an additional living room. A brand-new 2-car garage, complete with AC, utility sink, and a modern glass garage door, adds convenience and style, seamlessly complementing the original design. Meticulously remodeled in 2014, this residence boasts updated plumbing, electrical systems, three AC units, and roof, ensuring a modern and hassle-free living experience. Beyond being a home, this property is a savvy investment opportunity. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, it offers a turnkey option with negotiable furniture and the possibility for the seller's hospitality company to continue managing the property. This architectural gem has not only graced the pages of The Lakelander Magazine but has also been featured in Lakeland home tours and prominently showcased in Lakeland's documentary, "The People Who Live There," and in its book celebrating Lakeland architecture and design. Immerse yourself in a lifestyle that seamlessly blends history, design, and modern luxury. Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity – make the Glass House your own and continue its enduring legacy.
