Overview
Welcome to this beautifully maintained residence located in the lakefront community of Traditions, one of Winter Haven’s premier 55+ gated communities known for its vibrant lifestyle and exceptional amenities. This thoughtfully designed 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home also includes a versatile office that can easily serve as a third bedroom, along with a spacious family room that provides additional living space for relaxing or entertaining. As you arrive, you’re welcomed by a covered and screened front entry. Inside, the open concept floor plan is enhanced by vaulted ceilings and a stylish blend of luxury vinyl flooring in the main living areas and ceramic tile in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room, creating both elegance and easy maintenance. The eat in kitchen is bright and inviting, featuring a closet pantry, stainless steel appliances that are just two years old and a comfortable dining space ideal for everyday meals. An interior laundry room is conveniently located just off the kitchen and provides direct access to the two car garage. Sliding glass doors from the living room lead to a screen enclosed patio, offering the perfect spot to unwind, entertain guests, or simply enjoy Florida’s beautiful year round weather. The primary suite serves as a relaxing retreat, highlighted by a tray ceiling, walk in closet and an ensuite bathroom with a double sink vanity and step-in shower. Recent updates provide added peace of mind, including a brand new HVAC system and water heater, installed in March 2026, a new roof (November 2023), updated kitchen appliances (2024), fresh interior paint, and refreshed landscaping (2026). Outside, the property is beautifully framed by mature landscaping, with an attached two car garage, brick paved driveway and walkway that enhance the home’s inviting curb appeal. Residents of Traditions enjoy a true resort style lifestyle, featuring a lakefront clubhouse with a library, fitness center, card room, and billiards, as well as a resort style pool, hot tub and sauna. Additional amenities include tennis and shuffleboard courts, a dog park, a boat ramp and a dock overlooking Ruby Lake, providing endless opportunities for relaxation and recreation. The $484 monthly HOA fee covers lawn care (including bush/tree trimming and mulch replacement), exterior painting, cable, and internet. Ideally located near shopping, dining, and medical facilities with Publix opening soon just down the street, this home offers the perfect combination of comfort, convenience, and an active community lifestyle.
