A listing has appeared online for a house that’s been under construction for a couple of months now, near Crestline Village in Mountain Brook. Located at the corner of Montevallo Lane and Montevallo Road, this home is just a couple of blocks from the epicenter of close-in suburban upscale living.
Listed at $1.49 million, the price seems a bit high, but not outrageous for the neighborhood. One wonders if the proximity of very busy Montevallo Road won’t dampen that price point a bit, especially in this market. If the above rendering was accurate, the last several feet of yard shown on the right would be consumed by bumper to bumper 5:00 traffic.
What’s most interesting from the listing write up is the purported ‘green’ nature of the home. It’s indicated that the home features “…tankless water heaters, pex plumbing, dual flush toilets, Spider foam system, low-E Pella windows and doors, [and a] Tech shield roof plywood system to reflect ultra violet sunlight…”
It’s also noted the home will feature “all Kohler plumbing fixtures” as well as “advanced pre-sound system throughout first floor with I-Pod station, advanced computer wiring,security system, and [wiring] for both wall mount flat panel & traditional televisions.”
The home is adequately sized at 4800 square feet, but the listing makes note of another 2400 available in the daylight basement…which packs a lot of house onto a .15 acre lot. Maybe that price isn’t so bad after all. Time will tell…
Just the facts…
