320 Allendale Drive

Description

Welcome to 320 Allendale Drive. This place is the definition of peaceful living with a solid ranch style home on two gorgeous acres and a full daylight basement. It sits in Fossett Farms, an equestrian inspired community in the Birmingham and Freehome area, surrounded by multi million dollar farms and estates. It feels like a private retreat but still close to everything you need. Pure perfection. Come through the gate from the cul de sac and the home opens up on a hilltop with plenty of parking. The front path takes you straight to a massive stone rocking chair porch that is made for sunset watching. Step inside and you get a grand two story foyer leading into the formal dining room. The layout is open and bright with real hardwood floors. The great room has a cozy gas fireplace, built in bookcases, and double French doors that take you into the vaulted sunroom with LVP brick floors and tons of natural light. The primary suite sits tucked away on the main level and overlooks the backyard. It has a large walk in closet and a relaxing bath that feels like a spa day waiting to happen. The kitchen is fully renovated and absolutely stunning. You get a six burner gas range, exotic granite, dove white cabinets, brushed gold hardware, and real marble tile. The mudroom gives you even more storage plus a garage entry and a separate laundry room. The breakfast room looks out over the backyard and opens to the covered stone porch which makes it perfect for morning coffee or a slow weekend brunch. Wander the stone paths around the property and you will hear songbirds nonstop. The landscaping is dreamy with magnolias, hydrangeas, mountain laurel, camellias, daffodils, Cherokee roses, and a long list of beautiful trees and blooming plants. There is also a lofted barn that adds even more character. From the mudroom side porch, there is a private entrance to the back staircase which leads to a great teen or parent suite. It has a bedroom, a vaulted bonus room that could be a fourth bedroom, and a full bath. The main staircase leads to a loft space that works perfectly as an office or reading nook. There is another bedroom upstairs with its own private bath and a huge walk in closet. The terrace level runs the full footprint of the home with high ceilings and great natural light. The drywall, electrical, and some ceilings are already in place. There is a second laundry room down there along with built in cabinetry and more storage. This home gives you the best mix of quiet country living and quick access to modern conveniences, amenities, and the incredible Cherokee County schools.
