Step back in time and experience the timeless charm of one of the original homes in Lake Wales, lovingly maintained and thoughtfully preserved since its construction in 1915 by renowned local craftsman J.F. Townsend. This distinguished Arts and Crafts Bungalow stands as a testament to the area’s rich architectural heritage and offers an unmatched opportunity to own a piece of local history. Set on a generously sized corner lot shaded by majestic oak trees and surrounded by mature landscaping, the property offers a serene escape just steps from Downtown Lake Wales and a short walk to Lake Wailes, where you can enjoy scenic walks, birdwatching, or peaceful reflection by the water. From the moment you arrive, the character of this home is undeniable. A welcoming screened front porch offers front-row views of community events and parades along Central Avenue. Inside, the living room features six large diamond muntin windows that fill the space with natural light, original hardwood parquet flooring, a field tile wood-burning fireplace with carved mantel, crown molding with picture rail, and a stunning antique arts and crafts chandelier. Historic charm continues into the dining room, which is accessed through arched pocket doors with beveled glass. A second screened porch off the dining area provides a private, tree-lined escape. The home includes three bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom. The primary suite, located at the rear of the home, offers privacy, an expansive wall of closets, and a tranquil screened porch overlooking the pool and original orchid house. Another bedroom features a unique sleeping porch with windows on three sides, currently serving as a cozy den and home office. Beyond the main home lies a detached two-car garage with a full apartment above, complete with a kitchenette, full bath, and bedroom—ideal for guests, in-laws, or rental income. The original orchid house, now a versatile pool house or creative studio, is air-conditioned and includes a half bath, perfect for entertaining or working from home. A large pool and surrounding deck offer the perfect backdrop for outdoor gatherings, while multiple screened porches invite you to relax and enjoy views of the beautifully manicured grounds. Additional features include a whole-house attic fan, spiral staircase to a massive walkable attic, and the unmistakable feeling of a home that has been deeply cared for over generations. Main home roof replaced March 2023. This is more than just a home—it’s a piece of Lake Wales history, beautifully preserved and ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
