Charming lakefront cottage on Lake Talquin, just 22 miles to the State Capitol in downtown Tallahassee, FL. Lake Talquin is a sprawling 8800 acre lake for fishing and boating. Numerous fishing tournaments are held on the lake each year. The house is 1540 square feet, with three bedrooms and two baths. There is a rocking chair front porch and a small screened back porch overlooking the lake. The home is located on a quiet cove, that looks across at pristine Talquin Forest. The family room has an expansion of glass doors and windows measuring 19 feet and looking out on the lake and a multitude of wildlife. It provides a peaceful and relaxing setting throughout the year. The open floor plan combines the living, kitchen and dining areas. A portrait fireplace provides extra warmth and a cozy atmosphere in the winter months. The house was built in 2014 with high quality shake style hard vinyl, maintenance free siding. There is a walk-in basement measuring 580 square feet for storage, a shop or recreation room. A two car garage leads into a laundry room with a pantry and space for a freezer or extra refrigerator. Unique pull-out cabinets make excellent use of space over the washer and dryer. The kitchen cabinets are custom cherry wood with large, deep drawers on the bottom providing easy access to your stored items. There is an extra large double door cabinet we call the appliance garage. Solid surface countertops are a plus in the kitchen along with built-in double wall ovens, a gas cooktop, dishwasher and double copper sink. The house sits on a .19 acre waterfront lot with a covered boat dock and a boat lift, as well as a seating area. There is a slate stone patio for year around entertaining and enjoying a closeup view of the lake just steps away. A lifetime seawall was constructed in 2023. There is a lawn mower/utility shed under the large deck. A whole house generator maintains power when storms shut down the electric service. The emergency spillway at the nearby Talquin Dam maintains the water level and prevents flooding. Please call if you have questions or to schedule a viewing. We look forward to showing you the home we have loved for ten years. Inside pictures are coming soon.
