As promised, Alabama is in the drawing board spotlight this week. Don’t let the petite front elevation fool you, she packs in 3 bedrooms, 2-1/2 baths and a 2-car garage! She’s designed to sit prettily on a long narrow lot and share her playful spirit with passers-by. She has fun details around the main front windows and a welcoming covered, side-entry porch.

Just steps inside one will be right in the center of the action, with an open floor plan including the living room, dining room and kitchen with center island with light pouring in from every angle. Beyond the kitchen is the family entrance, mudroom, half-bath and garage.

One of the main features in the central living area is the open staircase leading up to the next level. At the top of the stairs, a short hallway provides access to three bedrooms, including a charming master suite. This master suite has its own bath and a closet large enough for two. The two smaller bedrooms are still plenty in size and share a compartmentalized bath for sharing ease.

I hope you like my version of Sweet Home Alabama. Up next week…Mr. Washington!
