About This Property

One or more photo(s) has been virtually staged. Thoughtfully redesigned into a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, the bright, open-concept floor plan is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A newly added indoor laundry room provides an extra level of convenience and functionality. Enjoy the confidence of owning a home where the major improvements have already been completed, including brand-new electrical and plumbing systems, HVAC, durable metal roof, water heater, windows, exterior doors, well, septic system, subflooring, laminate flooring, insulation, and sheetrock throughout. The home has also been reinforced with updated tie-downs to meet today's standards, providing added structural integrity. At the heart of the home is a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring new cabinetry, countertops, brand-new appliances, and contemporary finishes, while both bathrooms have been completely remodeled with stylish fixtures and modern design. Step outside and take in peaceful views of Star Lake, a local favorite for bass fishing, kayaking, and enjoying Florida's natural beauty. New low-maintenance entry decks in both the front and rear create inviting outdoor living spaces, while the front entrance conveniently connects to the covered carport for protected access. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Bartow and only 2 minutes from Golden Ridge Groves Farm Market & U-Pick, this property offers the perfect balance of quiet country living and everyday convenience. This is far more than a renovation—it's a complete transformation. With virtually every major system replaced, beautiful lake views, NO HOA, and a newly improved price, this move-in-ready home offers exceptional value and worry-free living.
