Home for Sale Huntsville AL - 1604 Governors Drive MLS 4K

You can be the new beneficiary of this unique oasis nestled on an acre of abounding flora that’s located less than five minutes from Huntsville Hospital on Governors Drive. With four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and all the formal and leisure rooms required for a gracious lifestyle, this home is the epitome of an old-school “town house” with the extra perk of a park-like setting.
Japanese maples, azaleas, irises, and roses of various varieties create a backdrop of exquisite beauty as you enjoy day-to-day living amid these wide open spaces. The covered porch out back lends itself to solace for morning coffee or an evening toddy as well as working with the pavers brick patio off the sunroom for garden parties both intimate and gala. Even during our brief survey of these grounds we were overtaken by the beauty and serenity that eclipse any hustle and bustle of the city.
An oversized circular driveway greets your guests and wraps around through flanking flower beds to a parking pad and the side entry garage. A wide pavers brick walkway leads to the handsome front door and entry that’s framed with cut leaded glass side-lights and half-moon transom.
Step inside on the kaleidoscope of marbled tile into an expansive foyer crowned with a vaulted ceiling where the bedroom wing flanks to the east and the living area opens to the west. The formal areas are delightfully inviting as the cavernous of the living room focuses on a triad of large windows that overlook the front lawn. Anchored with hardwoods, the dining room provides plenty of space for showcasing heirlooms while offering family and guests the luxury to move in and out without knocking elbows.
The family room is anchored in hardwoods, crowned with a vaulted ceiling, and sports authentic plantation shutters that allows natural light to filter as you wish. It’s all centered around a massive fireplace with a beautiful surround. For more informal living spaces, you can move through the hallway to access the sunroom. What a delightful place that looks out to the patio through giant picture windows and atrium door that blur the lines between inside and out.
Moving back through the family room past the powder room that services this area, you’ll find the impressive kitchen that well could be the hub of this home. The cabinetry-breathtaking in its beauty and function-is set against granite countertops where stainless appliances do the heavy lifting to make mealtime a joy. A center island is home to a smooth cooktop and doubles as a breakfast bar for quick meals and snacks. And who wouldn’t feel right at home in this breakfast area with its surround of scenic windows with cut leaded glass transoms. Plus, the secretary’s desk is conveniently located for home economics and you’ll love the convenience of the two-car garage when it’s time to restock the pantry.
As you explore the bedroom wing of this home, you’ll discover an isolated owner’s retreat located on the back side of the house. There’s plenty of space for a divan and room for another study area. The ensuite bath provides dual vanities in the dressing area plus a wonderful whirlpool tub and separate shower. Plus two walk-in closets.
The fourth bedroom suite is found on the same hallway as the three-quarter bath and laundry room. You’ll love the extra sunlight the three windows allow to make this room the perfect guest suite. Upstairs you’ll find a sitting area nestled between bedrooms two and three. These bedrooms are crowned with vaulted ceilings, offer great closet space, and share the hall bath.
