This must-see, 1-story, mid-century brick ranch was built by Billy Owens and enjoyed by the original owners for 66 years. The new new kitchen and new master bath and new walk-in master closet speak to today while the heart-of-pine paneling on selected walls and ceilings displays the beauty and character of yesterday. The home offers privacy and yet, its central location is only minutes to hospitals, Midtown, I-10 or the Capitol. This light and bright home has been substantially upgraded inside & out and offers ultimate in-town convenience on a full acre with a private backyard that includes a large, screened, concrete patio and pool and two outbuildings that include electricity! The pool interior was resurfaced in 2021 and is ready for the next 20 years of enjoyment. The kitchen has all new cabinets, appliances and a pantry. There is a new master bath, closet and updated bedrooms, laundry and garage. Beautifully refinished wood floors; sparkling cute retro pink bathroom; real wood-burning fireplace; built-ins, and picture windows that offer views of the pool and backyard from the kitchen, dining and family room. A private backyard, fenced on 2 sides, offers room for tag football; volleyball; gardens or even boat or RV storage. One-car garage with a new automatic door and additional covered parking for up to two vehicles available in the outbuildings, and there is unimpeded space in the driveway to park at least 4 additional vehicles. It is hard to believe you are in the center of Tallahassee with so much accessibility when you walk back to the built-in grill area in the evening and watch for wildlife.
