This house is rented for ACSC July 2010 to
July 2011.
This house is available for July 2011 to July 2012.
This house is located in the rapidly growing town of
Prattville Alabama, jokingly referred to as "Base Housing North" by Maxwell AFB
military, as most newcomers choose to live here. It is only about 10 miles
north of Maxwell and without traffic takes about 13 minutes from the driveway to
Kelley gate. On mornings with heavy traffic it's advisable to leave about
20 minutes early. Most prefer Prattville for it's lower costs, low crime
rate and a commute that avoids Highways 65 and 85.
The house is located in Brookstone subdivision off of McQeen Smith Road as you can see in the maps
below, and is about 3 minutes from a
super-Walmart at the corner. We are the
second owners of the house (which closed in Sep 2005) after some grandparents sold it to us - you'll see
that everything is in excellent condition. The
floor plan will reveal that this
house has a nice open area in the middle with the kitchen overlooking the
living
room. All the bedrooms are consolidated to one side of the house with
some (thankfully) distance between the kids' rooms and the master bedroom. The master
bath has a slightly
extended double vanity,
tile shower,
isolated toilet, and Aquaglass
garden bathtub. The
second bathroom has a double vanity as well, with
pocket door access to the full shower and toilet.
The phone lines are all Cat5e cable, which means they are also suitable for
computer networks. I don't have a home phone, so we use a router to give
broadband to all rooms in the house using the central
phone/cable box in the
bedroom closet.
The garage door has two remotes and an obstruction sensor.
The attic is not a living space but has been
paneled with plywood for storage of lightweight
items such as empty electronics boxes or seasonal clothing. The garage also has
two sets of
bike
hooks on the ceiling for two adult bicycles.
The yard has a built-in sprinkler with a timer inside the
garage, hooked up to the house water supply (not a well). Rent includes
lawn cutting and edging as well as Scotts lawn fertilizer. All you have to
do is run the sprinkler and look after the flowerbeds which are stone and low
maintenance. The back yard is very spacious and agreeably flat - you aren't
looking into neighbors' yards and they aren't looking in on you. There is
double gate access on one side, and a single gate on the other, both of which
can be locked with combination locks. The back porch is covered with a
small brick area for grilling without the worry
of staining the concrete with rust/grease spots.
This house is in the highly acclaimed Daniel Pratt
Elementary School district of Prattville, as compared to Prattville Elementary.
More information on schools can be found
here and
here. The local area has a YMCA, movie
theater, climate controlled storage, super-walmart, Lowes, and a new strip home
to a Target, Petco, Best Buy, and Bass Pro Shop. Prattville is growing
fast! Please don't hesitate to call with questions - we love this house
and know you will too!

Exterior
We finally finished the flower beds out front, putting in 94 bags of egg rock on
sheeted plastic to keep the weeds out. The finished product looks great.
We tore down the wooden swing-set and the playhouse might be next...

New Park
Just five houses to the north, the city has put in a park for the Brookstone
subdivision. It's gone from a bunch of dirt and rock to a nice open field
with trees and a walking path. How well the city will maintain this park
is yet to be seen, but it's close and safer than playing in the driveway...
