Hi and happy Friday! We’re heading upstairs at the house on Felder Avenue today!
When you get to the top of those steps, you’ll find three bedrooms, 2 large bathrooms, and a cozy den. Here’s a peek into the bathroom…
I love how big and bright it is!
And speaking of light-filled, the bedrooms are flooded with loads of natural light (and beautiful original-to-the-house details), too:

Have I ever told you how much I love those chunky wooden dresser knobs? #smitten
This is the master bedroom space…
…and this is the master bedroom closet:
I told you. Natural light-o-rama up in this place!!
My favorite space upstairs is actually the den located at the back corner of the house:
You know I’m a sucker for lots of white & wood! 😀
The banister in that photo is what’s around the staircase that leads back down to the kitchen that I blogged about the other day:
And before I wrap things up I just had to post a picture of the playhouse in the backyard:
It’s a good thing I’ve already found an old door for our hallway, otherwise I may have had to beg the homeowner for this one- ha!
The house is actually on the market right now, and I found the listing online, so I thought it would be fun to end this post with a guessing game. The listing says the house is 3,857 square feet and that it sits on almost an acre. Once you’ve thought a number, here’s a link to the listing so you can see if you were right:  797 Felder Avenue, Montgomery, Alabama! 😀
Happy guessing, and happy weekend!

I was thinking $750,000. Here in the metro area of Minnesota it would be well over $1 million. What a steal this is! The house is absolutely gorgeous.
Rachel
I guessed $850,000! I’ll take the staircase, the bathroom and the closet….YES, PLEASE!
Ashley
Oooh- I guessed WAY too high. What a gorgeous home! Could you pose pictures of the upstairs from when Ashley renovated it (before the current owners?)?
Mary | Lemon Grove Blog
Could this house BE any prettier!! So many great inspiration photos – thanks for sharing Layla!
Diane Peters
What color of white is your walls? What kind of paint do you prefer?
Thank you!

Anele @ Success Along the Weigh
Wow…this is one AMAZING home! I like to pretend I have just over half a mil burning a hole in my pocket and yell “SOLD!”
*pulls out empty pocket lining*
Erm, yeah. I’ll just have to live vicariously this time. 😉

This home is stunning! I love the simplicity of all of the linens mixed with white & woods. Love all the natural light & subtle sophistication this home has to offer.

OMG! We have to move to Alabama!
My guess was WAY out of the ballpark, based on what that would go for here in NJ…
I want to live there!!!
Catherine
I would love to see pictures of when Ashley lived there as well! Thanks for the tour!
Debbie
Any idea where they purchased that amazing zinc looking garden stool? Such a popular item right now and that is the best one I’ve seen yet!
kristin
I guessed low knowing that in your neighborhood–which I LOVE–houses seemed a steal. So I guessed 550 then 480 then 550. 🙂 It is a steal. Amazing the difference in housing for areas. Here in the St. Louis, MO area that home–old and grand–and the the size of the home with almost an acre would easily be at least 1.5 M. If everything is in great working order at least that! Probably closer to 2K actually. Every week it amazes me the cost of housing here and I’m always wondering who can afford those homes….and then I like to think…is the grandeur all really necessary? Anyway, off my soapbox! 🙂 The home is serene and beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I would love to think the grounds could be amazing there with the right greenthumb!
Gry
This house makes me want to move to Montgomery, Alabama from Switzerland….;)
Jana H
I was way too high too! I was definitely thinking $1.2 or $1.3 + but then I am from California and our house prices are crazy! SUCH a steal for a gorgeous house and property! AND that adorable playhouse!
Val
Do you know where to find shower rods like is shown in the bathroom photo? I have wanted to do something like that in our small bathroom. Thank you.
Lisa
Love, love this house! Thank you for the tour. Now i have to get busy pinning. . .
Elizabeth
I’m from Los Angeles. That home would go for over 2 million dollars, perhaps more if I knew how much land there was. My small condo costs more than that spectacular home.
Location Location Location.
GinaE
Really lovely home and décor, except for the head on the wall and hide on the floor. I can’t take even faux heads and hides!
Melanie Castleberry
I guessed between 575 and 775, depending on the market in your area. It certainly is a steal! The house is beautiful, but the menacing deer heads on the wall were making me cringe. Pretty sure they didn’t have them in the real estate photos.
lee ashley
so yeah…i live in southern california…my guess of $2 million was a *bit off. thanks for sharing (and making me insanely jealous!) 🙂
Angela
So pretty! I love all the white and wood too. I was about $165,000 shy on my guess of the price, but I chalk that up to difference in region. Houses around here are super cheap right now. I totally think the realtor should pay you dearly for your photos to use in his listing. He will sell a lot faster with a spruced up slide show.
Elizabeth
Wow! This house is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
cheapdiva
WOOOOOO – Way off! I guessed 1.9 mill, that’s what it would go for in my area!!!
Kylie
This would be well over 1.5K in Sydney…more depending on which suburb. It always shocks me to how cheap things are overseas.
Maria from Oz
Hey Kylie, I’m in Melbourne! Yep, our prices here are overinflated for sure! I have several estate agents as friends and they know full well we pay at least 30% more on homes here than overseas. Grrrrrrr, hey!
erin marie
Gorgeous! All that linen! I just want to nap on all their furniture! They should have used your photography skills over the ones in the listing. You really captured the beauty and the light!
Jodie
I was going to say high 6’s. Seems like a bargain.
Tiffany
Wow! I’m another So Cal reader and I guessed in the low $2 millions. A house with 3,800+ sq ft on an acre lot for only 565K?? I can’t even begin to imagine!
Stephanie
Layla,
Love this home! Wondering if you knew the paint color used on the bathroom vanity? My husband and I are expecting our third baby and I’m working on his bathroom. That color for his vanity would be perfect!
Thanks!
Maria from Oz
I guessed $450,000, not too far off! Here in Australia that house would be about $750,000+ depending which city it was in! I think YOUR photos do the house a far greater justice than the estate agent’s ones! I’d move in tomorrow, if only I could win the Lotto!
Cindy Barganier
I just want to live in the closet
Beth
Relaxing, classic and gorgeous! Thanks for sharing.
Gillianne
Not practical for our life and black cat, but oh, how I love all that linen! (surprised my guess was in the ballpark) And if that playhouse were in my yard, my kids would have to fight me for it and it would relocate with me. 😀
Jacki
Love this home! And very fun to see it at this time….we just drove through Montgomery on our way from Michigan to Gulf Shores yesterday. I love southern architecture and would love to tour some old homes while we’re down here.
Emily @ Life on Food
This house is amazing. I am a sucker for all of the white and wood too. Love it!
baileywife
You should notify the agent about having your pictures on the listing!! This home is amazing…..I wonder why everyone keeps leaving it!! 🙂 ~ Kim
Layla
Well, from what understand both Ashley and the current homeowner are “hooked on houses” and get antsy to move on to new projects after a few years! 😀 #SoundLikeAnyoneWeKnow? 😉
Lori
I think they should replace the realtor’s pictures with yours! What a beautiful house.
Layla
Thank you, Lori! That sure would be a fun way to earn some extra income! 😀
Elizabeth@ Blue Clear Sky
Gorgeous! I guessed $1.5 million + because around here $600,000 will get you a basic suburban builder home on 30 foot wide lots.
Shondra
Amazing house and amazing price! Here in the north Bay Area (CA), that house would be closer to $2M!
Carrie
I had guessed $1.75 but then forgot it was in Alabama. Where we are in the PNW, depending on the location and the lot, it could even be more. Your work and photos are lovely!
Mirinda
Wow! Beautiful home….but I live in Montgomery and guessed $327k…way off! And I can’t believe they have children!! Mine would have a field day with all that white….which would stay white for about 5 minutes LOL
Layla
That’s the great thing about white, Mirinda! It’s bleach-able! 😀
Amanda {NoDak Nest}
The amount they had to have spent on the draperies alone in that house! It is absolutely gorgeous, though! WOW!
