About 1024 Destin Dr
Welcome to this beautifully updated and meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-story home located in the desirable Oakwood Golf Community of Lake Wales, FL. Situated on a beautifully manicured lot with mature landscaping, this home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and functionality—inside and out. Step inside to discover a light and bright interior with soaring vaulted ceilings and a thoughtfully designed split floorplan that places the spacious primary suite on one side of the home and the two secondary bedrooms on the other, providing ideal privacy. The primary bedroom features its own slider leading directly to the screened-in lanai and pool, creating a seamless connection to your private outdoor oasis. A stunning passthrough wood-burning fireplace adds charm and warmth to both the living room and primary suite. The open-concept living space flows into a tastefully updated kitchen featuring Corian countertops, a new backsplash and sink, and nearly all appliances less than a year old. Luxury vinyl plank flooring has been installed throughout the home, and the entire interior was freshly painted within the last year and a half. Updated light fixtures, ceiling fans in every bedroom and outside under the expansive screened-in covered lanai, and modern hardware complete the polished look. The lanai is perfect for entertaining and comes wired for surround sound with a mounted outdoor TV that stays with the home. Enjoy the benefits of smart home features like a sprinkler system connected to its own well—complete with a new pump and app-controlled functionality. The second bathroom conveniently offers direct access to the lanai and pool, serving as a perfect pool bath. A brand-new pool pump, freshly cleaned gutters, and recent power washing ensure the exterior is just as turnkey as the interior. Other major updates include a 4-year-old roof and water heater, and a UV light in the AC system for enhanced air quality. The entire home is also wired for surround sound, making it as functional as it is stylish. Located just 15 minutes from local shopping and dining, 30 minutes to Legoland, and a little over 90 minutes from Tampa, Orlando, and all the major Disney theme parks, this home is truly in the heart of Central Florida. Most furnishings are negotiable outside of the sale, making this a rare opportunity to step into a move-in ready home with nothing left to do but enjoy!
