Across town, the lights flicker out, but here nothing changes. The AC keeps humming, the fridge stays cold, and the porch lights glow just like always. Built in 2023 in The Hammock at Oak Grove, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home runs on sunshine: rooftop solar paired with a Tesla Powerwall that monitors the forecast and fully charges ahead of severe weather, delivering quiet whole-home backup power when you need it most. Mornings start in the light-filled, open-concept kitchen with an oversized island, extensive cabinetry and a walk-in pantry, flowing seamlessly into the living and dining areas. Workdays happen in a private office with custom built-ins, backed by a professional-grade wired and Wi-Fi network. Evenings end on the covered back porch overlooking the backyard. Engineered hardwood floors, abundant natural light and designer finishes throughout. Life here simply feels easier. A SPAN Smart Panel lets you see and control your energy use circuit by circuit from your phone. Lutron smart lighting works with Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home. The integrated security system turns on exterior lights when cameras detect activity. Two Tesla Wall Connectors keep your EVs charged, a Waterdrop reverse osmosis system delivers purified water at the kitchen tap, and Wi-Fi-connected appliances can be checked from anywhere. Step outside to walking trails, sidewalks and green spaces in one of Tallahassee's most desirable communities, zoned for Hawks Rise, Deerlake and Chiles. Smart, efficient and storm-ready, so you can simply relax and enjoy coming home.
