Nestled in the heart of small-town Alabama, this nearly two-hundred-year-old home boasts proudly of its original heart pine floors, gorgeous staircase and entry hall, five large fireplaces throughout the house, two of which are in upstairs bedrooms, and a lovely warm kitchen with plenty of light and custom cabinets. The high arched windows throughout look out onto trees and gardens. An elegant master suite was added in 2012, complete with walk in closet, soaker tub, and a secure tornado shelter/safe room. The property sits on 18.2 acres of prime land with manicured woods, gardens, fields, rolling hills and streams. There are giant magnolias and huge azaleas lining the meandering driveway to the house. You will find an original working well and a garden shed near the stunning brick patio. It is a gardener's dream and the perfect place for children to run and explore. The home was featured in Veranda Magazine several years ago and has been on the historical society's annual tour of homes many times through the years. The house and land have been lovingly restored and cared for during the last 41 years. It is less than two miles from Interstate 20/59 and 35 minutes from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where the University of Alabama is located, and less than an hour from Meridian Mississippi. It is 22 miles from Demopolis, 25 miles from Greensboro, and 25 miles from Livingston, the home of the University of West Alabama. The area is known for hunting and fishing. The home is a short country drive to landings on the Warrior, the Tombigbee, and the Sipsey Rivers for fishing, boating, and water sports. If you are looking for a treasured home full of American history, a place to raise a family or a grand piece of Southern land, this home is for you.
