About This Property

This historical colonial house is a MUST SEE! The owners have documentation supporting the date of construction of this home in 1929 by Frank Lockwood, who also designed the East and West Wing of our Alabama State Capital. This home was featured in magazines because of its excellent details. Located in the heart of Luverne on almost 2 acres with so much privacy, gives you feeling of being on a ranch. DIRECT ROUTE TO FLORIDA BEAUTIFUL BEACHES and THE OUTLETS!!!!!! Notice the curb appeal as you drive up the long circular driveway with the pond. There is a sycamore tree in the back yard planted by the original owner to signify “Love will Always live here” and it is still there today. From the brick pavers on the front walkway to the cast iron boot scrapper at the front door, the details are beautiful.
