About 1150 Plateau Avenue
Virtually Staged. 1150 Plateau Ave, Lakeland, FL 33815 is a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath single-story single-family home built in 1960 on a large fenced lot in west Lakeland, Polk County. A concrete walk crosses the front lawn to a covered porch that spans the entry. Through the arched-glass front door, a wide picture window pulls light across the front living room, and the space runs deep enough to hold two full seating groups without crowding. Wood-look vinyl plank flooring carries unbroken from there through the hallways and into every bedroom, set against textured walls, painted baseboards and six-panel interior doors. The living room opens straight into the dining area, where a pass-through window frames the kitchen and keeps the cook in the conversation. The galley kitchen carries new shaker cabinetry, speckled counters, a double-basin stainless sink, a stainless range and a stainless over-range microwave, with a second refrigerator alcove tucked off the dining area.
Each bath is finished on its own terms. One carries a tiled shower surround with recessed niche shelving, one a framed mirror above a compact vanity, and one a medicine cabinet with a window over the tub. The laundry room is inside the house, with a full-size washer and dryer already in place, a window, and open shelving. Bedrooms sit at both ends of the plan, which puts real distance between the sleeping quarters. At the rear, a flex room comes with its own exterior door, a closet, a wall air unit and a doorway into the laundry room. Use it as a home office, a studio, a playroom, a hobby room or a guest room and the sleeping rooms stay untouched. Outside is where this lot earns its keep. Vinyl privacy fencing wraps a level lawn shaded by large oaks draped in Spanish moss, deep enough for a fire pit, raised beds or a play area with lawn left over. A storage building sits at the back for mowers, tools and seasonal gear. The concrete drive runs along the side of the house with open parking for several vehicles plus room for a boat, a trailer or a work van. A new shingle roof went on in 2025, with added insulation installed at the same time. The plumbing was repaired in 2024, the water heater dates to 2020, the electrical is sound, and the central air from 2019 needs service. Public water and a septic tank serve the home. 33815 sits on the west side of Lakeland, a short drive from Downtown Lakeland, US 92, Interstate 4 and the Polk Parkway (SR 570), with Tampa to the west and Orlando to the east along the I-4 corridor. Lakeland Linder International Airport, Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, Southeastern University and Florida Polytechnic are all in the area, and Publix is headquartered in the city.
