Walk through The Ann at your own pace with this 360° interactive tour:

The Ann at Helen Estates is a faithful nod to the early 1900s bungalow — the kind of home where front porches mattered, ceilings felt tall and gracious, and rooms were designed for connection. But this is not a renovation. It’s a carefully crafted replica that captures the cozy, architectural charm of that era while quietly integrating the efficiency and technology of modern construction.

Located just off Summerville Road in North Phenix City, this custom home sits on a beautifully landscaped half-acre lot just minutes from North Columbus and Downtown Columbus. You enjoy proximity to everything Columbus offers — dining, Riverwalk evenings, shopping, entertainment — while benefiting from lower Russell County property taxes compared to Muscogee County.

From the outside, The Ann reflects true bungalow character: welcoming covered porches, balanced rooflines, and thoughtful proportions that feel rooted rather than trendy. Helen Estates was intentionally designed as a non-cookie-cutter development — each home carries its own architectural identity. No repetitive farmhouse rows. No mass-produced elevations. Just thoughtful architecture.

Inside, ten-foot ceilings and eight-foot interior doors echo early 20th-century scale. The great room centers around a gas fireplace, while the sunroom overlooks the backyard and flows seamlessly to the covered back porch, complete with its own stainless gas fireplace for year-round outdoor living.

The kitchen blends heritage style with modern function — quartz countertops, farm sink with accessories, GE Profile Smart appliances, gas cooktop, double ovens, and a generous walk-in pantry. It feels timeless but performs beautifully.

The primary suite is located on the main level and serves as a true retreat. With standout custom detail: the primary closet connects directly to the laundry room — because while we love 1905 aesthetics, we don’t need 1905 inconvenience and a built-in dog room nook tucked under the staircase and accessible directly from the primary suite. These are charming, highly functional feature that reflect the builder’s attention to detail — thinking not just about rooms, but about how real families live.

Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms with walk-in closets. Opportunity for expansion! There is and additional 450+ square feet of walk-out attic space ready to be finished — ideal for a future bedroom, office, media room, or studio. This home offers room to grow without compromising its design integrity.

Behind the bungalow charm is serious construction: spray foam insulation, Tech Shield radiant barrier decking, tankless gas water heater, EV charging in the oversized garage, and prewired security and home automation by Wire Works. Professionally landscaped with Zoysia grass, zoned irrigation, and landscape lighting, the half-acre lot enhances the home’s presence.

Reasonable deed restrictions protect the charm of Helen Estates, yet there are no HOA fees.

The Ann is what happens when historic inspiration meets modern intelligence — and when craftsmanship is approached with intention.
