Residential $1,100,000.00 - Single Family Residence
There are homes you see, and there are homes you remember. The Columbus W. Deen House is one of them.
Prominently situated in Lakeland’s historic South Lake Morton neighborhood, this remarkable Prairie-style residence has been part of the city’s architectural landscape for more than a century. Its broad rooflines, distinctive columns, original architectural details and extraordinary wraparound porch make the home nearly impossible to pass without taking a second look.
Inside, the scale and craftsmanship continue. The main residence offers five bedrooms and three-and-one-half baths, with original architectural details, mahogany woodwork, coffered ceilings and multiple fireplaces reflecting the character of another era. An approximately 1,800-square-foot wraparound porch extends around the home, creating an exceptional amount of covered outdoor living space and a connection to the surrounding historic neighborhood that is difficult to recreate today.
A separate two-story carriage house adds another dimension to the property, offering two bedrooms, two baths, a living room, dining room and kitchen. Together, the main residence and carriage house offer an unusual combination of architectural significance, space and flexibility in one of Lakeland’s most recognizable historic settings.
The Deen House is ready for its next chapter and for an owner who appreciates the opportunity to continue the stewardship of an important Lakeland residence. A new roof was completed in September 2026.
