Welcome to Bartow, the City of Oaks and Azaleas and the county seat for Polk. This adorable waterfront gem was extensively updated just two short years ago. The HVAC, plumbing, and roof were all replaced circa 2021, and new smoke detectors and gutters were installed to compliment the freshly painted soffit and fascia. Added to the exterior were outdoor lights, shutters and trim. The home's layout provides an open living-dining-kitchen space with waterproof vinyl plank flooring and designer lighting. A custom-built window seat overlooks the lanai and ample backyard while still integrated into the kitchen and living areas. The kitchen was also remodeled two years ago with slow close dovetail cabinets and gorgeous Frigidaire appliances. The sink is surrounded by elegant granite countertops and there is a lazy susan tucked away for extra storage space. Just off of the kitchen is a door that takes you to the laundry room as well as the backyard. This was designed to keep the noise from the laundry room to a minimum inside the house. The laundry room sports a newer water heater with a timer to conserve energy, natural light and plenty of space for a utility sink or more cabinets. Down the hall toward the bedrooms, you will find a full wall of storage space that will be the envy of your friends and family. Expertly designed to use all space in the house these storage cabinets can handle just about anything. The bathroom is just across from the bedrooms boasting natural light. The larger of the bedrooms can easily hold more than one bed if needed and has two separate closets along with one window overlooking the gorgeous waterfront and one overlooking the backyard. The backyard of this fabulous home is spacious with an oversized shed with electricity with a side storage area that is under roof and an inviting pergola with benches. The shed is large enough to store almost anything! The yard is partially fenced with a privacy fence and is ready for your outdoor entertainment. The screen room has brand new tile flooring and overlooks the serene backyard. The outdoor area is perfect for entertaining or just enjoying the scenery.
