About this home
Welcome to 231 Willow Street in Lake Wales! This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath concrete block home offers flexible living space with an enclosed carport that can serve as a bonus room, home office, hobby space, or potential 4th bedroom. The fully fenced property provides plenty of outdoor space with no HOA restrictions. Inside, you'll find an eat-in kitchen and dining area, along with original 1970 tile flooring that adds unique character and vintage appeal. The kitchen appliances, including the refrigerator, range, microwave, and recently replaced dishwasher (less than 6 months old), are included, as well as the washer and dryer. Several important updates have already been completed, including a new electrical panel, new blown-in attic insulation for improved energy efficiency and comfort, an updated well bladder, and an updated drain field. The A/C unit was replaced in 2017. Outside features include a separate utility room, mature shade trees, and a backyard with producing navel orange, red navel orange, lemon, and peach trees. Pineapple plants are growing in the front yard, adding to the property's Florida charm. A 30-amp electrical hookup in the backyard offers added convenience for a generator or RV. This home offers an excellent opportunity for cosmetic updates and personal touches, allowing the next owner to enhance both the appearance and value of the property. Priced to sell at $199,000, the seller has factored the home's need for updating into the asking price while already completing several key system improvements. The property is being sold AS-IS, and the seller will not make repairs. This presents a compelling value with room for future improvement and equity potential. Conveniently located near local amenities, this home may appeal to owner-occupants and investors alike. Seller is highly motivated and seeking a quick sale—bring your offers!
