Jason: What were the deciding factors that led you to buy this home?
Seller: We wanted a smaller development near to but not in town. Country Woods met these requirements with several significant features. It is full of well maintained but visually varied homes and grounds. The layout of Country Woods limits through traffic and allows children to safely play throughout the development.
Jason: Were schools a factor in your decision to purchase this home?
Seller: Schools were not a factor for us. However, the house is in the Fairhope school district with K-12 public schools. There are also nearby Catholic schools thru 8th grade and the Catholic high school scheduled to open in 2017 is near to the house. Other private schools are close, including Bayside Academy.

Seller: Of course we spend a lot of time in the kitchen and also the sunroom which is where we watch TV and also eat our meals because of the view out the windows into the back yard.

In the back we have created a garden with multiple areas of plantings, a stainless steel fountain and a greenhouse.
