About the property

Custom 5-Bedroom Home with Saltwater Pool on .79 Acre

Stepping through the front door at 321 Ridgecliff Drive feels like arriving home. This custom-built 2003 residence spreads across 3,750 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space set on a generous 0.79-acre lot in Pierrefont Estates. Hardwood floors run through the main rooms, catching whatever sunlight filters in and creating a warm, lived-in glow underfoot. A centerpiece fireplace anchors the primary living area and offers a cozy backdrop for cool evenings.

The kitchen is a natural gathering place—granite countertops and stainless steel appliances provide both durability and a contemporary finish that suits everyday life and entertaining alike. Counter and prep space flow into roomy sightlines toward the dining and living areas, making it effortless to host holiday dinners or casual weekend breakfasts. Practical systems—central AC, forced-air gas heating, and an attached two-car garage—support comfortable year-round living.

Outside, the saltwater pool is an immediate draw. With a new liner installed in 2016, the pool area becomes a private retreat on summer afternoons—ideal for family laps, poolside barbecues, and long golden-hour evenings. The nearly one-acre parcel gives kids room to roam and provides flexibility for gardening, play spaces, or future outdoor projects.

Downstairs, the finished basement opens possibilities: a game room and kitchenette create a perfect teen hangout, rental-ready suite, or multi-generational living area. Practical touches—three full bathrooms, a 2-car attached garage, and ample storage—round out a home that balances family needs with meaningful upgrade potential.

Located in a quiet, established neighborhood with proximity to Florence Mall, the University of North Alabama, and North Alabama Medical Center, this property is well-suited to families seeking space, strong elementary schooling, and easy access to regional amenities. With thoughtful updates and room to personalize, 321 Ridgecliff Drive offers a rare combination of scale, convenience, and neighborhood character in Florence.

Editorial market perspective

The Pierrefont Estates market is currently balanced with moderate appreciation, presenting a thoughtful opportunity for both buyers and sellers. Local market indicators show inventory at roughly 3.5 months and an average days-on-market near 85—figures that suggest neither extreme seller advantage nor buyer surplus. Area median sale price sits near $375,000, while recent comparable sales within a half-mile and property-specific adjustments produce an estimated value midpoint of $585,000 for this custom 5-bedroom home. One-year appreciation in the corridor is approximately 7% with five-year appreciation near 25%, indicating steady long-term gains. Single-family homes in this neighborhood tend to hold value well due to lot size, school draw (Brooks Elementary rated 9/10) and proximity to regional anchors like University of North Alabama and North Alabama Medical Center. Given the property’s size, finished basement, and saltwater pool—plus limited local inventory—this is a favorable time to consider purchasing for primary residence or long-term investment, though buyers should account for recommended due diligence items (roof age verification, septic history) before finalizing offers.
