1201 Westminster Way, located in Buckhead Manor or as those of us who live here have humbly proclaimed it, "The Greatest Neighborhood in the World." And yes, I'm the seller. I'm also a licensed real estate agent. So instead of pretending I've never stepped foot in this house and telling you about its "stunning appointments," let me tell you what I'm actually going to miss. First: the neighbors. It's not particularly close. Buckhead Manor is one of those rare neighborhoods where people actually know each other. The neighborhood pool becomes the heartbeat of the community from May through September, golf carts become a perfectly reasonable mode of transportation, and summer starts to feel suspiciously like you're on vacation. The best part? I got to ride my golf cart down to a pool I could enjoy all summer and somebody else had to maintain it. That's luxury. Then there are the holidays. The Fourth of July fireworks show has absolutely no business being as good as it is. Halloween is electric. Kids everywhere. Golf carts everywhere. Neighbors everywhere. It's the kind of neighborhood experience that's getting harder and harder to find. Now, the house. The living room is my favorite room in the entire place. Big, open, vaulted and anchored by a fireplace that I never used. But hey, it's there, it looks good, and maybe you'll be better at fireplaces than I was. It's the room where life happens. House that raises living room kids versus bedroom kids. You've also got that white brick front everybody loves, approximately 2,500 square feet sitting on over an acre, and one of my favorite parenting features ever invented: The primary suite is on the main floor. Close enough to the kids to technically be responsible. Far enough away to maintain your sanity. The primary bathroom comes equipped with a big soaking tub for disappearing from the world for a while and a separate shower that's large enough to share. Upstairs gives everyone else their own territory, including two bedrooms plus a large bonus/flex room with plenty of possibilities. There's also an office, dining space, breakfast area, fenced backyard and two-car garage. And the location is hard to beat: minutes from Morgan County schools, the new recreation department and downtown Madison, while still coming home to a neighborhood where evening golf-cart rides are a completely legitimate social activity. This isn't the fanciest house in Madison. I'm not going to tell you every finish was installed yesterday. What I will tell you is that this has been a genuinely great place to live, raise kids, make friends and call home. I hate to leave it. But somebody else gets it now. 1201 Westminster Way. Buckhead Manor. Come see why we're so obnoxiously proud of our neighborhood. *Seller is a licensed real estate agent in the State of Georgia.*
