Welcome to 1 Horne Road in Bartow, FL — a fully remodeled lakefront retreat blending modern upgrades with timeless charm. Nestled on 2.49 acres with 90 feet of frontage on Star Lake, this home offers peaceful water views, privacy, and the rare benefit of being the only residence on the road. The county maintains the road, adding convenience and peace of mind. Step inside to discover 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and over 3,300 sq. ft. of thoughtfully designed living space. Fresh paint inside and out, new crown molding, updated windows, a new front door, and brand-new ductwork give the home a crisp, move-in ready feel. The master suite has been completely redesigned with a beautifully remodeled bedroom for your comfort. One of the other bedrooms serves as a secondary primary with its own private bathroom, perfect for guests or multi-generational living. The exterior has been just as carefully updated with a new metal roof (with a 3-year transferable workmanship warranty and transferable roof warranty), new soffit and fascia, fresh stucco, and a new pole barn. The former carport has been enclosed to create a functional garage, adding storage and practicality. A 3-year-old well provides reliable water service, rounding out the list of thoughtful updates. Bring all your animals — the land is already home to chickens, pigs, and goats, making it ideal for hobby farming or country living. With no HOA and a setting that balances modern convenience with rural charm, this property is perfect for those seeking serenity, space, and exclusivity.
