About this home
954 ODONIEL DRIVE
Homes with this combination of lot size and interior volume in North Lakeland sell once — and the buyers who miss them spend the next two years explaining why they waited. Country Oaks is a community where the lots run large, the landscaping has had thirty years to mature, and the neighbors have roots. Within that context, 954 Odoniel sits at the top of the food chain — a 3,034 square foot footprint with four bathrooms built into the floor plan from day one. That last point matters more than most buyers realize. Four bedrooms and four baths at this price point, in this zip code, means the layout was engineered for a family that actually uses its home. There's separation between living spaces, room for a dedicated office that doesn't feel carved out of a closet, and a primary suite that doesn't compete with the rest of the house for square footage. The outdoor potential is what seals it. A lot this size absorbs a pool, a detached garage or workshop, and a proper yard, and still leaves room for the kind of privacy that new construction developments gave up on years ago. Built in 1994, the structure is solid and the scale is permanent. The buyer who renovates on their timeline walks away with a property that rivals new luxury construction, on land those builders can no longer afford to provide. The neighborhood holds its value because inventory like this doesn't cycle back. Seller providing brand new roof and carpeting by closing.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
