One-of-a-kind brick Betton Hills home with unique layout, sitting atop a striking landscaped 3/4 acre corner lot! Close-in location provides access to FSU, TMH, parks and greenways, and almost everything else in Tallahassee -- including Midtown, Lake Ella Publix, Tomato Land, New Leaf Coop, and (as of 2013) Whole Foods. This brick Betton ranch home has a unique split floor plan and many classic architectural features and details. It was custom built in 1958, for Tallahassee Mayor Guyte McCord, Jr. (for whom nearby McCord Park is named). The entire home has been updated over the past decade, making this a turnkey, low-maintenance classic home. Large pane windows provide natural light throughout. Gleaming hardwood oak floors (refinished in 2004) with 9 foot ceilings give entire interior a spacious feel. Extra wide sliding glass doors off of Florida room open to natural gardens that surround the home and provide privacy. Expansive, bright kitchen with custom cabinets, renovated to include new KitchenAid Architect series stainless appliances and natural gas cooktop stove. All rooms are over sized and have high ceilings. Open floor plan with split bedroom layout easily accommodates guests / entertaining, and pocket doors provide opportunity for privacy when needed. All bedrooms are spacious, with good light and generous closet space, including separate his and her's closets in master. Large full baths on each side of the house, with modern updates including new porcelain sinks. Pantry with laundry adjacent to kitchen. Built-in linen closet storage in hallway and bath. Large double carport (2 covered spaces), with 2 additional parking pods off driveway. Gardener's bathroom accessible from carport. Storage shed also adjacent to carport. Custom-built garden shed with french doors in corner of backyard. Attic is easily accessible and has flooring for walk up storage -- a definite possibility for expansion. 3/4 acre lot surrounding home is nicely shaded by mature oaks, pines and dogwoods and fully landscaped with natural, mature ornamental gardens: Granite paths weave through beds loaded with lilies, azaleas, jasmine, camellias, Japanese magnolias, hydrangeas, and many indigenous plants. The gardens surrounding the home explode with color every month of the year and will impress anyone who appreciates nature and the outdoors.
