Approx. 4 mi to Gunter Annex • 1 mi to Eastdale Mall and I-85 • Wired workshop out back • Metal roof
There’s something easy about a one-story brick ranch with a metal roof and shade trees out front. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home at 5427 Handel Dr in Montgomery, AL 36109 gives you 1,827 square feet all on one level, and a covered front porch to sit on while you decide what to do with the rest of the day.
Inside, the living and dining areas open into each other through the middle of the house, with tile flooring, ceiling fans, and wide windows that keep things bright. The kitchen is built for someone who actually cooks – generous wood cabinetry, a wall oven, electric cooktop, dishwasher, stainless steel appliances, a double sink, and long stretches of counter. The laundry area sits on its own with washer and dryer hookups and a wood-lined storage closet beside it.
All three bedrooms sit along one hall. The primary bath has a tiled walk-in shower with a rainfall fixture; the second has a tub/shower combination and a long vanity.
Slide the glass door open and the covered patio turns into a second living room, with more paved space beyond it for the grill. The fenced backyard holds a detached brick workshop wired for electricity – room for a shop, a hobby bench, a home gym, or the mower and yard tools. Covered parking and a long driveway take the extra vehicles, a boat, or a trailer.
You’re about 0.2 mi off the Atlanta Highway corridor in east Montgomery, so errands stay short: roughly 1 mi to Eastdale Mall and the I-85 / Eastern Boulevard interchange, about 4 mi to Gunter Annex and 10 mi to Maxwell Air Force Base.
