1827 Ridge Ave APT 7, Montgomery, AL 36106

This early twentieth century carriage house was converted into a family home in the 1960's by noted architect and designer Arthur Joe Grant with meticulous attention to detail. Over the years it has been lovingly maintained and updated by several owners, all with exquisite taste. Though a small cottage with modest upkeep, its rooms feel spacious, and can accommodate two or 20 effortlessly. Throw lavish dinner parties in the grand formal dining room, or serve everyday meals in the oversized breakfast/keeping room, which is open to the beautifully updated kitchen. The elegant living room overlooks the walled front courtyard and boasts a rare marble fireplace that has a gas fired coal grate making cold nights warm and cozy. Front guest suite has bonus study and updated bath, while the well-appointed master bedroom has plenty of built-in shelves and two walk in closets. And, don't let the term "cottage" make you think that there is anything lacking in this home, as you will see there is more storage space that most homes twice its size! Front courtyard is like having additional living rooms, open air! Intimate covered dining area plus large central section allow for multiple seating, all shaded by a majestic 50+ year old Japanese maple tree. This gem sits in the middle of historic Old Cloverdale, walking distance to dining and entertainment districts.
