Perkins-McCutcheon Home
808 Gordon Drive SE
Built circa 1921, this elegant classical revival home was originally constructed solely as a two-story residence with a full basement. The one-story addition to the west, with its delicate gable fanlight accompanied by the fabulous pool house, were added at a later date. The first residents were David and Vivian Perkins. David served as manager for the Southern Cotton Oil Company. By 1926, this couple moved and Frank and Alice Morrow resided here. Frank was the chief auditor for the Alabama Power Company. The next documented residents were Rich and Louise Hundley. Mr. Hundley was listed as a merchant farmer in the 1938 city phone directory.
Current owners, Mike and Robin McCutcheon, purchased this fabulous home in 2022. An entertainer’s paradise, the first floor projects the perfect entertainment space featuring an amazing living room with a grand piano and a cozy den for relaxing and entertaining friends, both magically decorated for the holiday season. Ideal for hosting dinner parties, the formal dining room is beautifully adorned with hand painted silk wallpaper. The home also boasts a first floor primary suite complimented with a beautiful unique iron bed. In total, there are 4 large bedrooms and 3 and ½ bathrooms in the main house. When visiting this home, tour participants will not only be amazed by the home’s architecture and furnishings, but guests will be mesmerized by Mike and Robin’s extensive art collection. Visitors will feel as if they have stepped into an art gallery. Every room displays art works from local artists, with each piece seemingly hand curated to work cohesively beside its neighbor. Do not miss touring this stately home and accompanying pool house elaborately decorated for Christmas and located at 808 Gordon Drive on December 13th.
