Situated just outside of downtown Bartow, this three-bedroom, two-bath home sits on a quarter of an acre in the small HOA of James Towne Place. A small sidewalk and a Florida-friendly flower bed lead you up to the front door, navy-colored double doors & a simple but charming entryway. You immediately walk into the open concept living area, spanning from the front of the home to the back with sliding glass doors leading out to the covered lanai overlooking a spacious backyard, fully fenced with a fire pit! But let's focus on the inside for now. The main living area is set up for a combination living room / dining room with vaulted ceilings, display shelves, and plenty of floor space to set up your furniture in countless configurations. The kitchen is open to the same space, divided only by a half wall with countertops & bar-style seating. With a seamless flow between rooms, entertaining is a breeze and the cook of the house will never be left out of the loop! The kitchen has stainless appliances, white shaker style cabinetry, a closet pantry, two-tiered counters, and a rustic tile backsplash! The bedrooms are set up on a split floor plan; the master has a walk-in closet and full en suite bath with a full size garden tub and separate glass enclosed shower. The two guest rooms are also generous in size. With the house constructed in 2016, you know all the major systems are up-to-date, and it's ready for you to put your personal touches on it! Into the backyard through the sliders, you quickly notice the size of the covered lanai with enough space for a seating area and a full outdoor kitchen if you chose to put one in (currently set up with a fridge, grill, smoker, and cook station). Enjoy quiet evenings in your private space. Want to know more? Setup your private showing today!
