Surrounded by more than two acres of private woodlands in Vestavia is a sprawling, family-friendly house looking for its next owners. Only about a mile and half from Highway 280 but with total privacy, this property has space in spades, and at more than 7,000 square feet, itβs an entertainerβs dream. βWeβve had some large gatherings here β up to 200 people,β says the current homeowner. βBut the comment that people always make when they first come see it is that itβs a very warm and inviting place, even though the square footage sounds large.β
A long driveway leads to the front parking pad, with brick pavers and professional landscaping installed in 2014 by Doug Travis of Liberty Environmental Contractors. Here a walkway leads to a stately front door framed with limestone surround.
Inside, a grand entrance hall with soaring, two-story ceilings sets the tone for the listingβs stately nature. But continuing on inside, one will see that though some of the rooms are large, thereβs still a cozy feeling to be found. The formal living room, with a beautiful 12-foot coffered ceiling, flows nicely into the kitchen and family room. This main level also boasts a dining room, breakfast room, and laundry room as well as the master suite, which has all the bells and whistles one can expect to see in a home of this scale.
Upstairs youβll find a large playroom and four sizable bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath. Renovated in 2014, the basement level boasts an additional living area with kitchenette and eating space, as well as a workout room and plenty of storage.
The interiors were professionally designed by local decorator Becky Umphrey, so the house comes with neutral paint colors and fine fixtures and finishings. βThe attention to detail is one my favorite things about this house,β says the homeowner. Light fixtures and some custom window treatments will remain with the house, as well as kitchen appliances and the outdoor grill.
In addition to the front entrance, thereβs also a covered side entrance next to two garages on the main level. While two garages might sound nice, car lovers take note: This special property actually has two additional garages on the lower level. Down there youβll find a basketball goal, and just beyond that is the backyard.
The back of the house is one place that really makes this property sing, with a flat, expansive grassy area next to hardscape featuring a hot tub, firepit, and covered porches. Luckily for anyone yearning for a pool in the Alabama heat, the landscaping was purposely mapped out with a spot already suited for one.
Custom built in 2009 by Rob Grant of Robert S. Grant Construction, this one-owner home has been well-loved and -maintained, and anyone looking for space and privacy in the sought-after Vestavia Hills school system should go take a look.
