611 Short St, Tallahassee, FL 32308

You've been waiting patiently for the right home to come along. Something in a neighborhood where kids still play in the streets and neighbors share Friday evenings on their front porches until dark. One with the character and originality of an older home but the efficiency and reliability of modern construction. Where the idea of spending time in your yard isn't met with disdain but giddy pleasure. Your wait is over. A four column front porch will be the setting for many evenings waving to neighbors as they walk by on quiet Short Street. Through the front door, a proper foyer to greet guests. A dedicated office with French doors, built-in bookshelves and the first of many transom windows create a wonderful WFH space. Morning light comes slowly then all at once into the great room, where the entire east-facing wall is windowed. The butcher block island is a warm contrast to the cool marble countertops in the kitchen. Where the guest bathroom is traditional in every way, the primary is modern, with hanging vanities, tempered glass shower enclosure, and a picture window. The back porch, like the front and side, has a walnut stained tongue-and-groove pine ceiling and brick paver floor. While the front yard is modest, the back is definitely not: a Mediterranean garden (complete with olive tree), citrus trees, countless flowering plants and two young live oaks adorn it.
