Property Description
A Piece of American History — Beautifully Preserved Step into living history with this meticulously maintained 1939 gem, proudly bearing a plaque designating it as The Ebert House — officially placed on the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior. This stunning property effortlessly blends historic character with modern comfort. From the moment you arrive, the home captivates with its timeless curb appeal and beautiful interior. Soak in serene water views from your property, then step outside to two distinct outdoor sitting areas anchored by a cozy fire pit — perfect for entertaining under the Florida sky. A private side entrance through the alley adds a charming sense of seclusion. Directly across the street, residents enjoy resort-style amenities including a tennis court, pickleball, and shuffleboard — ideal for an active lifestyle without ever leaving the neighborhood. Beyond your doorstep, this property places you within walking distance of Lake Wales' most beloved community experiences — from vibrant festivals and city-sponsored events on the lake to the charm and energy of downtown Lake Wales. Whether it's a weekend farmers market, a lakeside concert, or a downtown celebration, the best of this community is always just a short stroll away. Inside, the character of 1939 lives on in every room, complemented by a spacious walk-in attic offering exceptional storage. Major systems have been thoughtfully updated for peace of mind: roof (approx. 10 years), AC (approx. 7–8 years), and water heater (approx. 5–6 years). This is more than a home — it is a landmark. Whether you are a history enthusiast, an architectural lover, or simply someone who appreciates one-of-a-kind properties, The Ebert House offers an unmatched opportunity to own a true piece of Lake Wales heritage.
