The owners designed this custom dream house and built it with their talented friends and coworkers from Habitat for Humanity of Tuscaloosa. Exceptional craftsmanship creates a mix of luxury and livability.

Open plan living, dining and kitchen with tons of comfy seating for watching movies, sharing meals, or hanging out with the chefs. The front patio and porch are convenient to the kitchen, and a perfect place to hang out while you grill up dinner for friends and family. French doors open to the back from the living area onto a large covered porch with daybed and breezy fan.

Start your day with coffee on the deck, then walk to the lake for some of the best fishing on Lake Tuscaloosa. In summer, the swallows nest under the bridge and dozens of them dart in and out for frequent forays to get food for their hatchlings. Wait till you soak in the clawfoot tub in the all marble main bathroom! After, take in the sunset while you lounge on the cushions in the bay window. Later, stargaze from the yard loungers away from all the city lights. Watch fireflies and hear the hoot owls. Enjoy marshmallows at the fire pit on the back patio!
