About this home

STEP BACK IN TIME . . . . own a part of Bartow’s history is steeped into every room of this 1910 home situated on nearly a full acre in the heart of Bartow’s residential area just a few blocks east of the courthouse and south of Main Street. This sprawling 5-bedroom, 4-bath main home features spacious rooms throughout, a dedicated office, formal living and dining rooms, family room, and a Florida room complete with Terrazzo flooring and REAL cypress paneled walls and built-in bookcase. There are a multitude of built-in features throughout the home, storage space galore (every inch was utilized!), a non-working fireplace (it was capped years ago), PLUS a 1-bedroom / 1-bath cottage/guest house with kitchen and living area that was completely updated in 2022. There is also a detached 2-car garage with workshop space, half-bath, two storage sheds and a covered space for boat/RV parking. The inground pool is situated away from the main residence and cottage. Shingle roof replaced in 2022, tented in 2022 and comes with the balance of Orkin’s 5-Year Warranty. Main sewer line replaced in 2020. Please do not rely on public records for SF figures as a recent appraisal determined the Main house is approximately 4067 SF of living area and detached Cottage/Guest House is approximately 693 SF of living area. Interior photos will not be available until after the conclusion of the estate sale and the home has been cleared of unsold items and professionally cleaned - approximately Aug 5th..
