Auburn Alabama Area Real Estate Living

I had the most delightful visit this week with long-time Opelika residents, Jack and Betty Walton. After seventy years together, the Opelika Observer deemed it newsworthy, and asked me to do the story. Throughout our conversation, I couldn't help but reflect on the most evident and enduring qualities that create a strong relationship and prosperous community legacy.

It all begins with caring about each other. I am grateful for amazing folks that are the neighbors in Opelika... Let me introduce you to Betty and Jack, and their story that was published in the January 27th issue:

This two-bedroom, one-bath brick home is located in Opelika's Historic District and featured lovely updates throughout with refinished wood floors, kitchen cabinetry and hardware, granite counter tops, stainless appliances and tile flooring, bathroom basin and storage and more. An extra large living room with fireplace, an exquisite dining room with built-in cabinets, a covered side porch and walk-out basement / garage, made this home feel extra spacious and functional. Luxurious details in hardware, wainscoating and molding contributed to the undeniable charm of this storybook gem.

The enlosed yard was a beautiful setting for several small garden and patio areas, with lots of visual interest in the landscaping and cascading ivy. 

This AIRPLANE BUNGALOW home is a design that grew out of the Craftsman movement in the early part of the 20th century. The Craftsman movement developed from the English Arts and Crafts Movement that left a distinct architectural legacy, that has withstood the test of time for its historic value and visual appeal. 

This particular style is characterized by the cupola effect of the second floor that rests like a cockpit over the two wings of the main level.
