510 N OAK Ave Bartow, FL 33830

Auction Property. Unique and wonderful! This home, built 1870, presents as a historic home with tons of potential. Located on a 1/4+ acre corner lot, this home welcomes visitors from the sidewalk with a grand front porch that begs for rocking chairs. The glass front door opens to an entry hall with soaring ceilings. Wood floors meander through this home and some look to be original. To the right of the entry hall you will find a huge primary suite with fireplace and built in 'book nook' or library wall. This room has a full en suite bathroom as well as a walk in closet that incorporates the use of closet space with a laundry room. Connected to the primary suite is a secondary bedroom with it's own closet and library wall and also has access to the front hall. To the left you will find the third bedroom with another fireplace. On the other side of this room is the living room...a THIRD fireplace and mantel is here as well as French doors that lead to the formal dining room. The kitchen, is set toward the back of the home- so interesting to see the detached “drainboard sink”. This charming kitchen evokes nostalgia for a simpler time when kitchens were the heart of the home. Notice the stained glass windows that grace this area as well as the second full bathroom. Finally enjoy stepping out the back porch with open courtyard and the back yard with detached shed. Wow! What a walk through time this home is...a perfect scenario for a renovation loan and for a dream come true. Bartow still has a sleepy charm about it and this home is within walking distance to old downtown, parks and shopping.
