1145 S Oak Ave, Bartow, FL 33830

A stunning piece of local history which only one family has enjoyed since its construction in 1923! Set adjacent to the family friendly Nye Jordan Park and several schools, this 1.03 acre parcel in the heart of Bartow is a rare and valuable find. The main house is a 4-bedroom 2.5-bathroom home measuring just over 2,300 SF with wooden window and door moldings, picture rails in nearly every room of the house, gorgeous wood floors, plaster and lath walls, original glass windows, and large, bright rooms with plenty of natural light. Spacious kitchen with separate breakfast nook/dinette PLUS formal dining room. In cooler weather, move out to the screened porch off the living room to enjoy a cup of coffee and good book. As originally constructed, all bedrooms are on the second floor, but the large living area could be converted into a first floor master suite. The walk-around, air conditioned attic on the third floor could easily become several more bedrooms. There is also a 550+/- SF apartment over the two-car garage PLUS a concrete block constructed fallout shelter that could be used for additional storage. Electrical updates currently underway, with some ingenuity this house can once again become the jewel of the neighborhood. Come breathe the life back into this quintessential historic home.
