About this home

Virtually Staged. Three bedrooms, THREE FULL BATHROOMS, no HOA, and more than a quarter-acre in a convenient Lake Wales location—this move-in-ready home offers the space, flexibility, and freedom today’s buyers are searching for! With 1,680 square feet of living area and 2,312 total square feet, there is plenty of room for comfortable everyday living, visiting guests, a home office, or multigenerational needs. Fresh paint inside and out, new flooring, new Stainmaster carpet, real brick across the front, and several updated windows create a clean and welcoming feel. Major improvements include a metal roof and air handler installed in 2016, along with a newer water heater for added peace of mind. Step outside and enjoy an open backyard view with currently no rear neighbors. Financing opportunities may make this home even more affordable! Located in a USDA-eligible area, qualified buyers may be able to purchase with 100% financing and no down payment. Eligible veterans and active-duty service members are also encouraged to explore the valuable benefits of VA financing. USDA and VA financing are welcomed, subject to buyer, property, appraisal, and lender approval. Ask your lender whether one of these programs could help make 838 Blackwood Drive your next home! The location puts you close to schools, Lake Wailes, Bok Tower Gardens, shopping, dining, and the shops, restaurants, and community events of historic downtown Lake Wales. You will also be less than half a mile from legendary Spook Hill, where cars appear to roll uphill on their own! Take a drive through the area, experience Spook Hill for yourself, and pass by 838 Blackwood Drive while you are in the neighborhood. Then take the next step and come experience everything this home has to offer on the inside. This may be the Lake Wales home you have been waiting for!
