Southern Grace Meets Modern Luxury: The Swearingen–Langford House
690 East Church Street | Bartow, Florida | Offered at $1,700,000
An iconic piece of Central Florida’s architectural legacy, the Swearingen–Langford House presents a rare opportunity to own a stately 1925 Colonial Revival estate listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by noted Tampa architect B. Clayton Bonfoey for Senator John J. Swearingen, this meticulously preserved residence stands proudly in Bartow’s prestigious Northeast Residential Historic District.
Set on over half an acre, the red brick manor is distinguished by soaring white Ionic columns and an expansive front porch. Inside, more than 5,200 square feet of curated living space showcases pristine hardwood floors, original plaster walls and ceilings, intricate millwork, dazzling chandeliers, four working fireplaces and refined ceiling medallions. Designed for elegant entertaining, the main level offers a grand formal living room, an inviting dining room and a sunlit solarium. The fully renovated chef’s kitchen features Kraftmaid cabinetry, marble countertops and professional-grade Viking appliances. Adjacent, a beadboard-accented laundry and mudroom connects seamlessly to the heated saltwater pool and patio.
The upper level includes a luxurious primary suite with a fireplace, a spa-inspired bath with a clawfoot soaking tub and frameless glass walk-in shower, and a custom-designed dressing room. Additional guest bedrooms each enjoy updated en-suite baths. The third floor offers a private guest suite complete with a kitchenette, full bath and cozy reading nook, ideal for multigenerational living or an additional retreat.
The grounds evoke a private resort, with a heated saltwater pool enhanced by graceful fountains, a covered entertaining pavilion featuring a gourmet summer kitchen, cooling misters and ceiling fans, all set amid professionally landscaped gardens. Completing the estate is a detached two-car garage with additional workshop space.
A legacy property of rare distinction, the Swearingen–Langford House seamlessly blends historic craftsmanship with modern luxury, offering an unparalleled opportunity to own a cornerstone of Central Florida heritage.
