BETTON HILLS BEAUTY! Located in Tallahassee’s desirable northeast quadrant between Thomasville Road and Centerville Road, this thoughtfully expanded and updated 1949 home sits on nearly half an acre less than one block from Winthrop Park. Originally built as a two-bedroom, one-bath home, the owners’ vision transformed it into a distinctive three- or four-bedroom, two-bath residence that blends vintage character with modern function.
The beautifully designed kitchen features gold on white GE Café appliances, including double ovens and a six-burner cooktop with interchangeable grates. The formal living room offers a gas fireplace, while the spacious family room features a wood-burning fireplace framed by detailed dentil molding. Three bedrooms provide double or walk-in closets, and the impressive primary suite includes a walk-in shower. Even the rose-and-gold ensuite laundry room makes a statement, with additional space for a deep freezer.
Outside, enjoy attractive landscaping, decorative curbing, a new extended driveway, plentiful parking and a spacious yard with room to play, garden and entertain on the extended patio. Winthrop Park offers baseball fields, pickleball and tennis courts, toddler and children’s playgrounds and two rose gardens. Mear blocks from Kate Sullivan Elementary, Cobb Middle, Leon High School, Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, and Thomasville Road dining.
