レイクフロントのw /デッキとヨルダン湖のドックの素晴らしい景色

Rich is from Birmingham AL and Annie is from Boston MA. We met and married in Germany while in the Air Force. After returning to the US we transferred into the Air Force Reserve at Maxwell AFB, Montgomery Alabama until we both retired December 2006. We have lived in our current home on Lake Jordan since early 2006. Rich continued to work in Telecommunications with cell phone tower equipment and retired in 2013. Annie retired from Civil Service in December 2016.

When this home came onto the market in July 2016, we knew we had to purchase it. We live on a very quiet cul-de-sac and wanted to keep it that way. Our original intention was for the previous owners to continue to live there but with their declining health they had to move closer to their doctors. At that point, we scratched out heads and said to each other "Now what?" This lot is due West and right next door to our home so we affectionately refer to it as "Our West Wing".

In January 2017, we decided to do a complete remodel and renovation to this property (for our "old age"). Since we were both retired, we tore out the walls and floors down to the 2x4s and added 400 sq ft for the bathrooms and laundry. We noticed that there wasn't any sheetrock in the old house so we saved as much of the original wood as we could and reused it when we put the walls back up. We wanted the original feel of the house so we found lots and lots of 'seconds' tongue and groove and used that to rebuild. The cracks and knotholes make it feel original. Annie was adamant that we needed to be able to see the lake upon entering the door for that "WOW" factor, so we moved some walls and made it happen. Every time we walk in, we say "WOW, look at the lake". Mission accomplished. We are so excited that all electric, gas, plumbing, septic, tank-less hot water, HVAC, insulation, roof, siding, decking and pier are all new. We didn't want to have any maintenance issues. Since we were building this for our 'old age' we attempted to incorporate American Disabilities Act (ADA) standards to the entire house. Entryways, walkways, doorways, handles, light switch and outlet positions. We also incorporated LED lights inside and out for better lighting. From the back door to the end of the deck at the waterfront is wheelchair accessible. We didn't want any restrictions to enjoy the view. As it turns out, we aren't ready for our "old age" home so we would like for you to Relax, Rest and Enjoy!
