Hello again from Michael.

What do you think about this one? Discovered it today, and I like what I see. You find it at 1470 Willows End in Alexander City, Alabama.

The location looks so good, you have a home surrounded by water and nature.

And the house also looks good. A beautiful exterior. You get an impression of it being a very grand home. But when I look inside, I think of it more of an cozy family home rather than a big impressive palace. Nothing wrong with that, just thought it would be a different interor.

It was built in 2000. 10 bedrooms and 9 baths. Not much information is available, you should contact the broker for that.

At $5,000,000 it’s not expensive, so all put together I’d say this is a good home with a great location and a reasonable price.

The broker’s comments: There are to many details to list, a must see to believe. It has every amenity you can imagine and then some. The view is second to none and follows to almost every room. The boat / guest house is equally appointed
