About this home
Beautiful lakefront pool home in NE Tallahassee! This farmhouse-style home sits on over 2 acres directly on spring-fed Lake Tom John, with enchanting water views from the primary bedroom, kitchen, living room, screened porch, and multi-level deck. A circular drive winds through mature landscaping shaded by beautiful live oaks. The wide, welcoming front porch opens into a foyer where 150-year-old reclaimed wide-plank hardwood floors set the tone for the whole home — full of character and history. The oversized kitchen (17x23) is clearly the heart of the home — room for a large table, plenty of counter space for holiday cookies and pies, a 6-burner gas cooktop, and double ovens. Quartz countertops and two pantries with deep pull-out shelves keep everything organized. Views of Lake Tom John through full length windows beckon you outside onto a 32-foot screened porch, perfect for serving large gatherings. Custom cabinetry and a butler's pantry/laundry room round out the space. The oversized formal dining room has antique 9-foot pocket doors and picture window views of live oaks and the large lawn. The double-height living room offers views from two sides, access to the deck, an antique stained glass piece older than the home and a wood-burning fireplace. A family room comes with more of the historic pocket doors and built-in bookshelves — used for years as a homeschool room. Will it be a homeschool room again? Or will it become your home office or a playroom? At the other end of the house, the primary bedroom has more views of the lake and an updated bathroom with a walk-in tiled shower and a freestanding clawfoot tub — the perfect mix of historic and modern. Upstairs, four bedrooms and a full bathroom await. Each bedroom has at least one gable window and one closet — two rooms have lofts, and two rooms have two closets! There's also access to another loft/storage space overlooking the living room, plus insulated attic space accessible from the closet in the purple room. Downstairs, the lower level has room for a home office area, multiple generous closets, a bunk room, another full bathroom, and plenty of space as a rec room. Will you add a fridge and use the existing countertop for a kitchenette? Create a beautiful guest suite? The sliding glass doors open out to the multi-level pool deck. The double garage with old-fashioned barn doors has a designated workbench and more storage space. The pool and multi-level deck, with areas of both shade and sun, have been central to family gatherings for years. A gas grill connection makes cookouts easy, and there's still plenty of room outside the pool fence for play — past owners have had a kids' playground and even a batting cage out there. Zoned for Desoto Trail Elementary, William J. Montford Middle, and Chiles High School. Just 2.3 miles from Bannerman Crossing, 1.8 miles from Target, and 1.7 miles from the Bradfordville Publix — enjoy life on the lake with all the conveniences of town!...
