| ”There are stars, in the Southern sky, southward as you go. There is
moonlight and moss in the trees, down the Seven Bridges Road”. If that
sounds like a place you want to live, you can have it. Located across
from Huntingdon College and steps from the Cloverdale hotspots, this is
your chance to own part of Montgomery and Rock & Roll history. Woodley
Rd, was the inspiration for the late Steve Young’s song made famous by
the Eagles. Originally built in 1900, you will be taken back in time
when reach the deep, covered porch, pass through the leaded glass front
door, and onto the more than a 100 year old original wood floors of this
one of a kind home. Maybe you will feel a connection to the soldiers who
garrisoned here during WWI (F. Scott Fitzgerald’s pal's perhaps?).Take a
book, one of Zelda's, from the built-in bookshelves to read by the
marble fireplace with its gorgeously carved imported mantle. A beautiful
set of French doors open to a private office with its own fireplace. The
dining room, living room and den area are very grand for hosting a
cocktail party. There are 4 bedrooms in all, including a guest bedroom
with its own full bath downstairs. The kitchen is outfitted with
stainless appliances, a gas fireplace, and a casual dining area.
Gorgeous stained glass windows adorn the staircase. Upstairs there are
two master bedrooms. Both have fireplaces, but one features a sitting
room with a balcony. Outside there is a pool with a security fence and
an alarm if you have young children, which are easily removed if not
needed (the gate and alarm, not the children). The garage has an extra
area currently used as a gym and includes a sauna. There is surround
sound inside and out, including the covered patio (with tv too), so
music or the game of your choice can be heard all around. As the Eagles
have so often sung, "There are stars in the southern sky. And if ever
you decide you should go, there is a taste of time sweet and honey, down
the Seven Bridges Road.” |
