Dear Buyer,

When I designed and built this house 15 years ago my highest priority was to maximize space. At the time I had three young children and wanted to create a home that would accommodate our family as it grew and evolved. Consequently, I planned for lots of storage with cubbies and built-in cabinets everywhere I could tuck them. The open floor plan and 10’ ceilings also contribute to the spaciousness. Visitors cannot believe that there are five bedrooms, as well as a bonus room! And outside, the deep wrap-around back porch that spans the width of the house serves as an extension of the floor plan. It’s my favorite ‘room’ on beautiful days.

I’ve realized as my sons have grown and our lifestyle has changed so dramatically over the years that this home is more flexible than I had even imagined it might be. The open living area is tested and proven ideal both for keeping an eye on little ones and for piling family and friends – or a bunch of teenagers - in for a holiday, birthday celebration or football game. When the boys were little the main living area and three bedrooms on the ground floor were perfect. During those early years we hardly used the upstairs space at all. As the children grew and needed more privacy, they each moved into their own bedrooms upstairs, making good use of the common space/bonus room, and leaving the downstairs bedrooms available for Mama to use as office space, guest bedrooms, or extra closet space, depending on the need at the time. ?

As for proximity – to everything in Columbus! – there is none better in my opinion! The house is within a couple of minutes of JR Allen, Manchester Expressway, Veteran’s Parkway, I 185, Armour Road, Hilton Avenue, Lakebottom Park, Peachtree Mall, and the list goes on. I work downtown and any time of day can count on a 7 minute commute. And when the construction on Talbotton Road is complete (soon), it will be even faster.

As much as I have enjoyed this home, I am excited to ‘hand the keys over’ to the next owners, whom I know will easily make it their own, given its versatility. If what you see in the pictures and/or what I’ve shared here appeals to you – or even just makes you curious – make an appointment and come see it!

I wish you the best of luck with your search – and with the next ‘phase’ of your life. I’m excited to move on with mine!
