1203 Harlem Street

Great opportunity at 1203 Harlem Street in Tallahassee’s Griffin Heights / Griffin College Heights neighborhood. This 1983 one-story traditional home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 912 square feet on a 0.13-acre lot (approximately 5,662 square feet) with vinyl siding, a covered front porch, privacy fencing, and public sewer. The property is sold as-is and requires an almost complete renovation. Interiors present as a blank slate with unfinished rooms, exposed concrete floors, and a bathroom that remains in progress. A newer central air-conditioning system appears to have been installed (listed as HVAC 2025 in prior records); the roof dates to 2012 and the water heater to 2016. Buyers should independently verify all systems, remaining useful life, and any needed repairs. The location is a primary strength. The home sits minutes from Florida State University, Florida A&M University, Tallahassee Community College, West Tennessee Street commercial corridors, and downtown Tallahassee. Griffin Heights is a mixed residential area with a combination of single-family homes and student-oriented rentals; the site offers potential for an owner-occupant willing to complete the work, a buy-and-hold rental after renovation, or a value-add flip. The fenced backyard and off-street parking add practical utility once the interior is finished.
