Custom built in 1989 and offered for the very first time by the original owners, this lovingly maintained home is tucked away off prestigious Live Oak Plantation Road on nearly one private acre. Thoughtfully renovated throughout its ownership, including a major renovation in 2010, this residence blends timeless craftsmanship with modern updates. The main level offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, highlighted by vaulted ceilings, extensive crown molding, plantation shutters, and beautiful solid oak hardwood floors. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, a stone backsplash, a stunning custom hood, a built-in wine rack, and a generous workspace, all opening seamlessly into the main living areas, creating an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite is a true retreat with its own fireplace, private access to the back deck, and a Jack-and-Jill style bath with separate vanity rooms and double closets. Just outside the suite, a private outdoor shower offers a spa-like experience surrounded by nature, perfect after gardening, relaxing outdoors, or simply enjoying the peaceful setting. Outdoor living is exceptional, with extensive Trex decking overlooking a private, wooded backyard complete with a custom stone fire pit. Mature landscaping includes citrus trees and lush greenery, creating a serene setting rarely found this close to town. The lower level provides outstanding flexibility with an additional living space that includes a kitchenette, full bath, bedroom, and private screened porch, ideal for extended family, guests, an in-law suite, or teen retreat. Energy efficiency and modern convenience are standout features. Solar panels with battery backup installed by Independent Green Technologies provide outage protection and result in an average monthly electric bill of approximately $70. The home is also equipped with a Level II EV charger, offering added functionality for electric vehicle owners. Custom homes in this sought-after location rarely become available. A truly special opportunity to own a private, thoughtfully updated home in one of Tallahassee's most desirable areas.
