About This Home

As of May 2025

This seller is MOTIVATED! This is a custom-built pool home and features an open floor design with cathedral ceilings, NO carpet, and a BRAND NEW ROOF. This home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with a split floorplan. This design flows nicely through the living/dining combo and out to the lanai and pool area. This is a prime location and is an exceptionally oversized property that is fenced and hedged for maximum privacy. The attached garage has been enclosed and has central heat and air. It can easily be converted to an in-law apartment, another bedroom as it does have a closet and exterior access, or you can convert it back into a garage. There is a brand-new detached 22x28 garage, an existing 18 x 20 boat garage... and NO rear neighbors! Located in the Lake Wales Charter School District, across the street from Crooked Lake which is known for its crystal-clear water and recreational fun for the entire family. Easy Access to Lake Wales, Frostproof, and Avon Park plus this home is centrally located to both the East and West coasts of Florida and just a short distance to Tampa or Orlando.
