Beautiful home for the right family w/8 acres (68 available)

     This beautiful "Southen Living" home is situated on 8 acres, 4 acres of open pasture and 4 acres of hardwood trees.  With 68 more acres available. It is surrounded by mature shade trees and landscaping. The inviting front porch is 8 feet wide and 90 feet long and overlooks ivy-covered trees with a black-topped circular drive. The patio in the back views the secluded wooded acres.

     This spacious home is nestled close to three TVA lakes and is a short drive from the Tennessee River and Florence and Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

     On the first floor of the main house is one bedroom and one full bathroom with shower and jacuzzi tub. A half bath is located  under the solid oak staircase. Upstairs are two bedrooms, one bath with shower and antique clawfoot tub, and a 15 x 30 game room. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and large walk-in closets.

     The recently remodeled kitchen has stone flooring, a food-prep island, built in range and wall oven, a new dishwasher, ample cabinets, and a walk-in pantry. French doors exit from the dining area to the front porch. The living room has a antique mantel fireplace with gas logs and extra large picture window with a view of  trees and squirrels in the foreground and hills in the background.

     In addition, the downstairs has a bonus room that could be used for a study or computer room.  It also has a large walk-in storage closet. The wash room is equipped with a laundry tub and has room for a table, ironing board, and cleaning tools and supplies. A spacious two car garage with automatic door opener and work area is attached to the main wing.

     The mother-in-law wing includes a full kitchen with dining area, a living room, a laundry room with pantry, two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It also has its own attached one-car garage with automatic door opener. Each bedroom has ceiling fans and double closets. A linen closet is located in the hall. This wing could be rented out for extra income since the two wings are separated by a hall and a door.

     There is ample storage with shelves in the attic and a built in vacuum system throughout both wings of the house and both garages. The taxes are low on this beautiful home that is also close to an excellent school with grades 1-12.  Northwest Shoals Community College and University of North Alabama are within commuting distance.

     Custom-built by the owner, the house has 6 inch exterior walls, high efficiency heat pumps, 20 inches of blown insulation in the attic, 6 inches of insulation under the floors, and double paned and double hung windows.

    This home was lovingly built by the owner for his wife, children, grandchildren, and mother-in-law to enjoy, but after the death of his wife and the move of his mother-in-law, the owner felt that since the heart of the home was gone, it was time to move on.
