Detached single family For Sale

This well-maintained brick cottage in the heart of Midtown is the epitome of classic Tallahassee charm and modern convenience (2023 roof; brand-new 2024 paid-off solar panels with an estimated monthly energy savings of around $87.14/month*; 2023 electrical upgrade, and a 2018 tankless gas water heater) all found in an unbeatable location. Charming and sophisticated, the front walk is lined with dozens of amaryllis that will soon be in bloom and mature palms frame the front of the home. Head up the sweet covered front porch with softly arched openings where you can enjoy taking in the neighborhood along with the gentle serenading of the Leon HS marching band practices. Inside the home you’ll find a cozy living room with stylish details and a fireplace. Through the formal dining room and into the large kitchen, you will find simple sophistication where clean lines and delicate vintage details have been combined with high-tech and modern appliances and loaded with storage as well as a second sink and mini fridge. The primary bedroom has dual closets and a flex space that is currently in use as a laundry and washroom with multiple entries, which could easily be reimagined into a primary suite with a full second bathroom. A large closet in the hallway provides additional storage. The separate den on the back that started life as a well-constructed addition is a versatile space that offers third bedroom potential or office space. In the privacy-fenced back yard, the mature landscaping includes a gingko biloba tree, pecan tree, azaleas, and camellias all to be enjoyed from the large back deck that is lined with crepe myrtles which provide both shade and lovely pops of pink seasonal color. Hurricane lilies and agapanthus will soon be in bloom as well. The drive-up original barn/workshop/carport has great potential, whether for storing your favorite thrifting scores, or for boat and bike storage or even as an artist’s loft. Walking distance to all your favorite midtown destinations as well as easy access to schools (zoned for Sullivan, Cobb, and Leon), this home is one block to Lafayette Park where you’ll find walking trails, a playground, tennis/pickle ball courts or where you can take arts and crafts, yoga or workout classes at the The Sue and Lafayette Arts & Crafts center. Local foodies: walk to your favorite midtown restaurants like Kool Beanz, The Huntsman, Izzy or Red Eye Coffee shop and more. Full of holiday spirit? You’ll be able to walk to Beard Street to join in the annual Halloween celebration and the neighborhood is visited every year by community Christmas carolers.
