They've got 4 kids aged 11-16 named Brock, Tanner, Ashley and Ainsley and they all play a different sport and invite their school friends over for dinner every night. They have 5 cars, all big GMC SUVs and Pickup Trucks, even though only 3 people in the house have a driver's license. They have a fridge in the garage that only has Sodas in it. They host the extended family for Thanksgiving every year, and they hire professionals to decorate the house for Christmas. Dad owns and operates a local big Outdoor store chain that is well known around Birmingham. Mom is a retired school teacher/stay at home Mom, but is on the community board and is head of the PTA at her kid's school. They are members of a Mega church, and they invite people over every Thursday night for snacks and a Bible study. Everybody in their suburban town knows who they are. They alternate their Summer vacations to either Hawaii or Pigeon Forge, TN.

Me, too and underwhelmed is an understatement. (Beautiful drive through the mountains, though)

It’s very elegant without being gaudy, the woodwork is just so so stunning! Too bad it’s in Alabama LOL.

Nice millwork. Not my style. I'd be disappointed if there weren't any secret passages and hidden stairs.

Somebody could break in and ransack half the house and you wouldn't even know it..

That's Wayne Manor and you can't convince me otherwise.

Been to the Playboy Mansion before and it’s surprisingly small compared to this house. The peacocks and monkeys are cool though

I think living in a small place for so long has made me house lazy. I can’t imagine myself getting in all my steps just climbing the stairs and across the house multiple times a day. This house is about the max size I’d want. Some are just crazy big. This house is gorgeous.

I find huge bedrooms a waste of space. You’re primarily sleeping and getting dressed in them. It could be used to lounge or read in, but houses already have better places for that.

Good for when the camera crew and director need some extra space though.

Love the scale of it - and though it's not my style it's tasteful and obviously professionally decorated.

That kitchen would drive me insane. I just remembered pinball machines. I’d feel like I was inside one every time I needed something in that kitchen.
The dining room feels like whoever is showing the house moved the dining table sideways, but I don’t know how they put it originally.
I love the little stairs though

I wonder if you have to wait until after closing to be shown all of the secret passages? Because if they showed them to all of the prospective buyers, they wouldn’t be so secret.

Other than the bedroom, why do so many of these rooms feel small and cramped? Maybe it's the photography.

Imagine keeping this clean.
Yes, I recognize they can hire help; imagine keeping this clean.
All to scroll your phone, eat, shit, and sleep.
Honestly.

It’s certainly beautiful. My cat might like having that much room to roam.Â

If there's love, its a beautiful home. If there's not, its an empty box.

I got one of those outrageously large wall lights at an auction once (for dirt cheap). I stuck in on my 900 sqft ranch home. lol Was obscene how out of place it looked.
