Stunning Custom Home on 1.28 Acres in Prestigious Betton Woods Welcome to Betton Woods—one of Tallahassee’s most desirable neighborhoods, ideally located near downtown, top hospitals, shopping, dining, and zoned for the highly rated Kate Sullivan, Cobb, and Leon schools. Tucked away on three beautifully landscaped lots totaling 1.28 acres, this exquisite custom-built home offers privacy, space, and elegance. Backing up to the serene Goose Pond Nature Preserve, the home delivers unmatched tranquility and natural beauty. Boasting 5 bedrooms plus a large recreation/bonus room, this thoughtfully designed residence features soaring ceilings and a dramatic wall of Palladian windows in the living/family room, filling the home with natural light and showcasing lush garden views from nearly every room. The formal dining room is accented with custom built-in bookcases, while the newly remodeled eat-in kitchen offers a generous island with breakfast bar, homework nook, and premium finishes—perfect for both casual family living and entertaining. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, complemented by 10- to 12-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of openness and sophistication. A spacious 1,200-square-foot addition provides two additional bedrooms and a versatile open-concept rec/study area, ideal for growing families or guests. Step outside into your private oasis: a resort-style screened lanai with a full outdoor kitchen overlooks a sparkling pool surrounded by wraparound decking and mature landscaping, creating a peaceful, park-like setting. This rare and remarkable property offers luxury, location, and lifestyle—truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity in Betton Woods.
