845 E EDGEWOOD DRIVE, LAKELAND, Polk, Residential

If cookie cutter homes are your thing, keep scrolling.. For more than 100 years, this home has watched Lakeland grow around it. While trends have come and gone, 845 E. Edgewood Drive has remained exactly what it was always meant to be—timeless, distinctive, and impossible to replicate. Built in 1922 and set on half an acre, this Spanish Revival residence makes an unforgettable impression from the moment you step inside. At the heart of the home, a curved grand staircase sweeps through the entry with hand-forged wrought iron scrollwork, a soaring column, and dramatic architectural detailing that creates a truly remarkable centerpiece. Just beyond it, a glass-roofed indoor courtyard frames a tiered stone fountain surrounded by tropical greenery, with French doors opening into the main living spaces on all sides. It is not just a room — it is an experience. Throughout the home, artisan frescoed ceilings in rich terracotta, warm amber, and deep azure bring character and artistry to every space. Beneath them, the main residence offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, a gourmet kitchen with professional-grade appliances, warm parquet wood floors, dramatic arched doorways, and French doors throughout. Beyond the main house, the property features a detached ADU complete with 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, and full kitchen, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended living, a private retreat, studio, or workspace. The estate also includes a two-car garage, private pool, and mature landscaping designed for privacy, entertaining, and retreat. Located minutes from Downtown Lakeland, Lake Hollingsworth, Cleveland Heights Golf Course, Lakeland Country Club, local tennis courts, dog parks, dining, shopping, and some of the city’s most beloved destinations.
Rarely does a property offer this level of history, architectural detail, privacy, and presence in one of Lakeland’s most recognizable locations. 845 E. Edgewood Drive is a true one-of-a-kind estate with a story all its own. Come see it for yourself!
