Whether you’re on the market for a new abode or simply enjoy seeing the latest advancements in home design, get ready to bloom with excitement for the Polk County Builder’s Association’s Spring Parade of Homes.

The annual event allows real estate aficionados to take a free, self-guided tour of new construction homes across Polk County. This year’s event will take place over the course of two weekends — Saturday, April 26-Sunday, April 27 + Saturday, May 3-Sunday, May 4, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. — and Lakelanders have something extra special to look forward to.

The Eagle, a home built by north Lakeland-based Joe Goldsmith Construction in the Water’s Edge at Lake Gibson community, has been selected as the event’s Showcase Home. Located at 5472 Shoreview Dr., the 4-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 5,377-sqft property is putting a modern twist on a classic hacienda with features like two primary suites, double ovens + dishwashers, and a custom pool with infinity-edge spa. Where do we sign?
