About this home
Welcome to the kind of property that gives you space to breathe, room to grow, and the flexibility most homes just can’t match. Set on 1.8 acres with a peaceful pond backdrop, this Lake Wales property brings together privacy, functionality, and everyday comfort. As you pull in, the first thing you’ll notice is the space. A long driveway, wide-open land, and not one but two separate 2-car garages create endless possibilities for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or workspace. And with no HOA, you’ve got the freedom to actually use your property the way you want. Inside, the home opens up into a bright and inviting living area with updated flooring that ties everything together. The layout flows naturally, making it easy to relax or host without feeling boxed in. The kitchen sits right at the center, providing generous counter space and storage so everything stays within reach. Step out back and this is where the lifestyle really kicks in. The screened-in pool and covered lanai give you a true indoor-outdoor setup, perfect for enjoying Florida living year-round. Whether you're unwinding in the shade or spending time poolside, this space was made to be used. Beyond that, the property stretches out toward a quiet pond, creating a calm and private setting that’s hard to find. The primary suite delivers a standout feature with a fully updated luxury bathroom that feels like a personal retreat. Dual vessel sinks, a sleek glass-enclosed shower, and a soaking tub bring a modern, high-end feel that sets it apart. With 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a newer electric water heater (2022), and a layout designed for both comfort and flexibility, this property provides the kind of space and freedom buyers are searching for right now. If you’ve been waiting for something with land, privacy, and real versatility, this is one you don’t want to miss.
