- ONE OF A KIND - AUTHENTIC "OLD FLORIDA" STYLE HOME - This home is picture perfect and immaculate inside and out as the first impression of the exterior and well manicured landscape suggest. Step up to the front porch back to a simpler time and Florida small town feel as the unique vintage architectural features of the home become apparent. From the front porch beautiful Lake Wailes is in plain view to the east and the adjacent lake front bike path, public pier and local festivals like The Orange Blossom Revue, Pioneer Days and Lake Wales Art Show are just a short walk away. To the west is down town Lake Wales where shopping, local services and dining options are also just a quick walk away from the home. Upon entering the front door the beautiful amber of the hard wood floors, which are original to the home, instantly catch your attention and are located throughout. The front portion of the home consists of the Living Room and adjacent Den. These two rooms can be used in conjunction or as separate spaces with their own purpose. The den is currently used as a sitting room for relaxing and watching television. From the living room follow the spiral staircase up to the Master Bedroom which runs the length of the home. The Master Bedroom has ample storage throughout and has floor space for a sitting area or office space. The 2nd floor Balcony/Deck is accessed from the Master Bedroom. The Balcony/Deck has plenty of room for furnishings and is a perfect space for entertaining, especially during local parades like the annual Mardi Gras celebration and parade which culminates its route right past the home. Back to the first floor of this beautifully decorated home where you will find the 2nd bedroom with access to the back porch through pane glassed door. Just outside the 2nd bedroom is the bathroom and hall leading to the kitchen. The kitchen is as quaint as expected, contains a dining area and is perfectly sized for efficient use and maintenance. Just off the kitchen is a laundry area and access to the covered screened back porch and backyard garden. The backyard garden is a true private oasis combined with the screen porch, reclaimed Chicago Brick patios and walk ways, privacy fencing and tropical landscaping. The backyard also houses a 9 x 10 storage shed with electricity and lighting inside. This home is truly unique in every aspect and a must see for anyone looking to own a true historic Florida gem.
