I was looking for a large home to accommodate an extended family gathering for a funeral in Huntsville. This house seemed to check all the boxes - slept 17, had plenty of space, was in a good location, and was an interesting home.
We arrived at 4 pm to check in and the cleaning crew was still at the home with at least 45 minutes of cleaning yet to be completed. The second concern was that the house did not reflect the online photos. Specifically, no area rugs were in any of the common rooms as featured in the online images. The plants that are in the large living room are either dead or dying. Why? If you can't care for the plants, how about replacing them with artificial ones? Seeing dead plants really diminished the appeal. The downstairs bathroom in the master should be listed as not being private - it's located as an extension of the bedroom. The shower in the master bath is large but needs some attention. Again, the photos and reality don't align.
Finally, there should be a 'warning' on the acoustics of this unique property. With the exception of the two bedrooms with a door and ceiling, there is no way anyone can sleep if anyone else in the house is up and talking. We made the best of it, which should be noted in the description.
I was disappointed that the house did not live up to the photos. However, we selected this house to accommodate a very large family gathering. From that aspect, the property met our expectations.
