1049 SAINT ANNE SHRINE RD Lake Wales, FL 33898

Beautifully renovated historic 5bd/3ba home from 1928. This is one of the original homes of Saint Anne Shrine community built high and dry at the top of the hill facing Saint Anne Lake.
The home sits on a little over an acre and includes over 100 feet of lakefront. The home features original heart pine flooring, beadboard ceiling, windows and doors all carefully restored to their former glory. Every room of the home has been renovated with crown molding and 8-inch baseboards, while keeping the character with built-ins, wainscoting and shiplap in the crow’s nest bedroom. The original sleeping porch is now a window-enclosed master bedroom providing views of the lake.
In 2017, an additional living/dining room, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom were added to the home designed by Parlier and Crews Architects. Attention was paid to maintain the historic nature of the home by using antique wood doors, solid old growth heart pine flooring, and trim work that matched the original character of the home. The result is a grand living space with 13-foot cathedral ceilings that feel like they have always been part of the home.
This property also features a large front porch, finished basement, a large screen porch with bar and lake view, mature bamboo surrounding the property to create a private oasis, new metal roof, irrigation system, and more.
