The central bathroom features a double-room, with the vanity and closet area separate from the bathing and relief areas. The home is tastefully decorated and appointed. A pleasant, peaceful, refreshing environment is achieved by creatively balancing elements of masculine and feminine, light and dark, young and old, contemporary and nostalgic, and combining these with color, light, airflow, and openness, as well as greenery, flowers, and water features on the outside. The home is also well-suited for expansion, for such things as the addition of a sun-room, home gym, or other needs. The home is available with or without furnishings.

A six-foot chain-link fence surrounds approximately 2/3 of the property. Wooded lots are on both sides. The home is located within the city limits of Centre (Cherokee County), Alabama, a quaint semi-rural town with a rich Indian and English-settlement history, and a population of approximately 3,300. There is both police and fire protection. A fire hydrant is located directly in front of the property. There are no home-owner-association dues. The home has city water, trash pick-up, and can be connected to the city sewer system or retain its septic system. Natural and/or propane gas features can be added if desired. Other outside features of the home are: tasteful landscaping, with mature trees and ample blooming shrubbery and plants that provide color to the grounds at various times of the year; a paved driveway; a four-stall covered, enclosed kennel and large exercise yard for the pets; a detached 700+ sq. ft. building which can be renovated for use as a studio, home-office, guest-quarters, mother-in-law suite, teenage retreat, work-shop, craft or garden center, or other work-at-home service area; and, there are two additional outside, metal-storage-buildings. The asking price for this executive home is $750,000. This home is priced to sell, at more than $240,000 less than the cost of building the home. The asking price is based on the price of waterfront property (yielding a $420,000+ value for a 2.4 +/- lakeside estate with 400+ feet of shoreline), the cost of construction at $100 per sq. ft. (a very conservative estimate of the cost of building, yielding a $420,000 value for the home itself), and the value of the other added features of this property, including the large in-ground pool, the security features of burglar bars and fencing, the separate multi-use building, the kennel, the paved driveway, and the two additional outside storage buildings. The asking price gives consideration to the economy and the current housing market, as well as the necessity and/or desirability of certain up-grades and improvements. With never-seen-before, historically low interest-rates, willing lenders for credit-worthy buyers, and a greatly reduced price for a magnificent executive, lakeside estate, now is the perfect time to buy!
