A mountaintop retreat at home in the city, this extraordinary four-bedroom home combines top-quality construction, landscaped beauty and a matchless view. Beginning with the welcoming circular drive, this home is perfect for entertaining and family gatherings. From a large kitchen, guests can fan out to the spacious living room, enormous den, dining room, breakfast nook and patio, so crowds can mingle with plenty of elbow room. With the main living spaces located at the back, the incomparable and changing valley view serves as the focal point from room to room. The construction quality is reflected in spacious rooms, generous closets, richly hued oak floors, crown moulding and solid wood interior doors. Added touches include plantation shutters throughout and new lighting fixtures. The large lawn offers privacy and plenty of play space and plantings of oakleaf hydrangea, azaleas, iris add color. Extras include alarm system, generator, two new gas furnaces and great Vestavia schools.
