Newly Renovated 4-Bedroom, 3-Bathroom Home on Half an Acre in Quiet Bartow Neighborhood! Welcome to this beautifully updated home, perfectly situated in a peaceful neighborhood. Sitting on a generous half-acre lot, this home offers both space and style for comfortable living. Inside you’ll discover brand new luxury vinyl plank flooring and plush new carpet in the bedrooms. The spacious kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring brand-new stainless-steel appliances—including a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and range—plus a bonus wall oven and a mounted TV for added convenience to watch the news, cooking shows, or the big game. Just off the kitchen, the dining room provides an ideal layout for entertaining and family meals. Relax in the large living room, complete with a charming brick fireplace, wood mantle, and built-ins on either side—the perfect centerpiece to this room. An additional oversized family room with beautiful French doors opening to the backyard. The primary suite is a true retreat with a generous walk-in closet and a private ensuite bathroom featuring a double sink vanity. Three additional bedrooms and two more full bathrooms offer ample space for family and guests. Outdoor living is just as inviting with screened-in front and rear porches, a fully fenced backyard, a playground set already built and ready for play, and a detached shed for additional storage or workshop needs. The home also features a spacious 500 sq ft garage and an additional storage room, providing plenty of space for vehicles, tools, and seasonal belongings. Septic tank and drain field 2018.
