About this home
There is something truly magical about a home that has been loved for more than a century and this enchanting 1902 historic home in Downtown Bartow is a rare find. Filled with whimsy, warmth, and timeless character, this beautifully cared-for 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has preserved the charm of its era while thoughtfully embracing the comforts of modern living. Original character and natural wood floors create a warm and inviting feel throughout, while an updated kitchen and bathrooms provide the modern conveniences today’s homeowners desire. Fresh exterior paint adds to the home’s welcoming curb appeal, and the detached garage/workshop offers additional space for hobbies, projects, or storage. Step into the fully fenced backyard and you’ll discover a private little world of its own. A sparkling sport pool with a shallow “beach” area, custom-built brick fireplace, charming pergola, and working brick fountain create an outdoor space that feels almost storybook-like. Whether you’re hosting friends, enjoying a quiet afternoon by the pool, or gathering around the fireplace, this backyard was made for making memories. Just a short stroll from Downtown Bartow’s shops, restaurants, festivals, and historic landmarks, this home places you close to everything while offering your own peaceful retreat. Homes like this are rare. They can’t be recreated, and they can’t be replicated—the character, craftsmanship, and sense of history come from more than 100 years of being a home. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated, 655 S. Wilson Avenue is a special blend of 1902 charm and modern-day comfort, waiting for someone new to love it.
