Property Description
Space, flexibility, and Florida living come together at 279 Brookshire Drive in Lake Wales. Step inside and you'll quickly see just how much room this five-bedroom, four-bath home gives you to spread out and settle in. The welcoming foyer leads into multiple living and gathering spaces, including formal dining, a Florida room, and an open kitchen and dinette that naturally feel like the heart of the home. Solid wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, a center island, breakfast bar, and sliding glass doors make it easy for everyday life to flow right out to the covered lanai. The main-level primary suite feels nicely tucked away, with a sitting area, direct lanai access, a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, jetted spa tub, separate shower, and linen storage. Head upstairs and there's even more to discover. Four additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, including a convenient Jack-and-Jill bath connecting two of the bedrooms, and a large open loft create an entire second living area that can change right along with your needs. Movie room, game space, home office, fitness area, or simply another comfortable place to unwind. The dual staircase, accessible from both the foyer and kitchen, is one of those distinctive details that makes the layout even more interesting. Outside, the covered lanai overlooks an oversized landscaped backyard framed by mature trees, creating an inviting place to enjoy the Florida sunshine. A paver driveway leads to the oversized side-entry two-car garage, while a newer roof, updated A/C system, and recently refreshed exterior paint bring added peace of mind and value to the home. And when you're ready to get out and explore, Lake Wales has a character all its own. Spend an afternoon among the gardens, trails, and historic Singing Tower at Bok Tower Gardens, then come back home, settle onto the lanai, and enjoy your own piece of Central Florida. With a lake view, generous indoor and outdoor living spaces, and a layout with room to live life in more ways than one, this is a home that gets even better as you walk through it.
