Wonderful opportunity to live in the sought after Lafeyette Park neighborhood. Walk to school, parks, shopping and midtown entertainment. Home is on the lowest traffic intersection in the neighborhood. Great for kids, pets, walkers and quiet. Home has many updates including landscaping, gutters, crawlspace vapor lining, interior and exterior paint, some wood flood replacement and refinishing, just to name a few. The detached garage works as a perfect storage shed, as the driveway allows 2 vehicles to be parked off the road. Enjoy the screened in porch area for those early mornings or relax after a hard days work. The third bedroom is a pass through to the master and would be a great office.

About Lafayette
Park
Lafayette Park, located between Cascades Park and Myers Park, is a historic and residential Tallahassee neighborhood with a central green space and a walkable street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along South Monroe Street near the Cascades Park entrance, where coffee counters, galleries, and casual dining keep sidewalks active. Nearby, Railroad Square Art District, The Edison, and the Challenger Learning Center serve as cultural pillars with a distinctly Tallahassee cadence. Streets mix early-20th-century cottages with mid-century ranch homes under mature canopy trees. Lafayette Park’s namesake lawns and paths frame everyday routines and small gatherings. The setting links downtown blocks to parkland and the FAMU Way corridor.
