About this property
Adorable home near the University of Alabama
Summary:
Welcome to this thoughtfully remodeled 100-year-old home just mins from the University of Alabama. You'll love the natural charm of a house this age with a beautiful wrap-around front porch. Spend your evenings grilling on the back deck while your friends/kids play cornhole, ring toss, volleyball, etc. in the HUGE yard.
This house has a two-car carport and a long driveway for plenty of parking. There are two king sized beds, two twin XL, and one queen sofa-bed.
The Space:
Our gorgeous open floor plan house is a vibrant fusion of elegant design, convenient & spacious layout and modern appeal designed to uplift your relaxation. As a family-oriented destination, this 1,500 square foot house was specifically assembled for families and large groups to get together and build everlasting memories! Take the comfort level up a notch and slip into the ambient living room area, an ideal gathering space for families to snuggle up on the cushy sofa. While you’re at it, treat yourself to a fun-filled evening watching a countless selection of movies and TV shows on our HDTV with Roku installed for your entertainment.
As you slowly roll out of bed in the morning, brew yourself a cup of coffee to start your day off with a gentle boost in our dazzling open concept kitchen. If you decide to fire up your culinary talents, take pleasure in using the granite countertops, handy kitchen gadgets, and stainless-steel appliances to make your Master Chef cooking endeavours an absolute breeze. Should you decide to dine out, savour in authentic local or international cuisines with a wide range of top-notch restaurants just 10-15 minutes away.
After a long day of adventure, give your mind & body the rest it deserves and lay your head to rest in our 3 ultra-comfy bedrooms, enough to sleep 8 guests. The sleeping arrangements feature the following:
• A King-sized mattress with a smart TV in bedrooms #1 and #2
• Two twin XL beds in bedroom #3
• A living room sofa that converts to a Queen-sized bed.
At the end of the day, treat yourself like royalty and take a hot, soothing shower or a relaxing dip into a tub of bubbles in one of our 2 immaculate bathrooms. Each is fully equipped with a walk-in shower or bathtub, towels, toilet paper, hair dryer, soap, and cabinet space to store your bathroom essentials.
