Overview

WOW!!! The opportunity to master your domain. NO CDD, NO HOA, New Roof 2022, New A/C 2025, New Pool Pump 2025. Beautiful pool home on 3/4 of an acre (.74) in the small, quiet, sought-after neighborhood of Waterwood in Bartow, FL. This house sits right on the borderline with Highlands (South Lakeland). As you enter this no-outlet community, you are impressed with the majestic trees embellishing the serene surroundings. It's like getting into another dimension on the shores of Lake Hancock. Away from the crowd, yet near the amenities you need for a comfortable lifestyle. This house offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on a 2,237 sq ft split floor plan with dedicated office and dining areas. The open concept allows you to entertain family and friends indoors or out. For those cool winter nights (even in Florida), warm yourself with hot cocoa in front of the wood-burning fireplace for picture-perfect memories. The main living space leads to a very welcoming oversized covered lanai and the enclosed refreshing pool. This area is also accessible from the primary bedroom, the main hallway, or the secondary bathroom. You will love the expansive fenced backyard, a paradise for little ones and pets to play safely, with room for storing your RV, boat, ATV, and other toys for grownups. Boat lovers will enjoy having a public ramp to Lake Hancock less than 3 miles away. And when you're in the mood for a different kind of fun, Walt Disney Parks, Universal Parks, and Downtown Tampa are under a 1-hour drive. Ready for the beaches? The Clearwater to St. Pete Beach corridor is under a 90-minute drive. And the award-winning Siesta Key is under a 2-hour drive. Around the Bartow area, you have access to not one but six walking/biking/hiking scenic trails, including the Fort Fraser Trail, which you can walk to from the house. The all-new Orlando Health Lakeland Highlands Hospital is scheduled to open in the summer of 2026 and will be located 15 minutes away from home. Here’s how close you are to: Downtown Lakeland 20 minutes; Downtown Bartow 10 minutes; Highlands, South Lakeland 5 minutes; Watson Clinic 5 minutes; Walmart Bartow & Walmart Mulberry 10 minutes each; Publix 5 minutes; FL-570 Polk Parkway 10 minutes. A few minutes away you also have shopping plazas, restaurants, hardware stores, medical facilities, golf courses, Polk State College, and even an executive airport. All between 5-15 minutes. Oh, don’t miss this great opportunity. Schedule your private showing today and soon you might call this property HOME. Note: This house is also listed for RENT.
