Located in the heart of historic downtown Bartow, 135 S Central Avenue presents a rare and valuable opportunity. This property is a single family home with multi-use. The second level of the building is a nearly 3,000 square foot 3 bedroom 2 bathroom homestead property and the first floor offers two street-level commercial units, each approximately 1,500 square feet, situated in a high-visibility area known for its walkability, charming boutiques, and steady foot and vehicle traffic. One of the units is occupied by “Sweet Magnolia’s,” a well-established café that has been a community favorite for over ten years.
