Find quiet life in Wetumpka's growing Brookwood
A community swimming pool, neighborhood elementary school, and large lots have helped generate more than 40 home sales in the past 12 months in growing Brookwood.
The Wetumpka subdivision is located south of Redland Road near the popular elementary school. The development’s amenities and promise of the quiet life are luring homebuyers, Realtor Paul Duncan said.
“Brookwood is very family friendly with lots of kids,” Duncan said. “Brookwood offers peaceful, rural living with city amenities not far away. Wetumpka is a beautiful growing city, always adding new shopping, and a new downtown area with shops and restaurants.”
Construction in Brookwood started in 2007 and continues, Duncan added. Homes rest on flat to gently sloping terrain with an abundance of mature trees.
“The brick homes offer quality construction with high-end finishes ranging from one story to some three-story and basement houses,” Duncan said. “The big lots include custom porches with fireplaces as well. Redland Elementary School is within walking distance. Brookwood itself is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in the whole tri-county area.”
A four bedroom, two-bath home located at 214 Southern Hills Ridge is on the market for $274,900 and provides 1,814 square feet of living space.
“The custom-built home comes with a beautiful trim package, and has a split bedroom setup,” Duncan said. “The home is freshly painted with wood flooring, and a screened back porch with a stone fireplace for relaxing with the family and friends.”
On the outside, a storage building could be used to house lawn equipment or become a shop for the home’s handyman. The lot is spacious and well-landscaped.
“The home is updated, and in an area that is attractive, and one people want to be in during a rising real estate market,” Duncan said. “The home’s trim package and beautiful finishes, floorplan, and great backyard make it a family dream home, all in an attractive price range.”
Other appealing features of the home include granite countertops, surround sound, and a security system.
