Welcome to this exceptional 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offering 2,070 square feet of comfortable living space on a desirable corner lot in Bartow’s peaceful Oakland neighborhood.

With direct access to the pool, this flexible space makes indoor-outdoor living especially convenient. The updated kitchen features solid-surface countertops, white cabinetry, a breakfast bar overlooking the living area, and all-new appliances installed in 2025.
