When Jim Simpson was approached by a Gadsden
couple about their hopes of building a custom home
along the shore of the Coosa River, he knew it was an
opportunity he couldn't pass up.
Simpson, owner of Simpson Construction, takes pride
in the skillful crasmanship of the homes he builds. His
ability to create a unique masterpiece matched perfectly
with the prestigious view homeowners are accustomed to
in the Whorton Bend community of Neely Henry Lake.
Working with a designer and architect based in
Arkansas, Simpson prepared for countless hours to be
spent working on the nearly 10,000-square-foot, eight-
bedroom, seven-bath home. Each room, magnificently
detailed with features such as herringbone-patterned
wood floors, hand-craed ceiling beams and gorgeous
vintage-inspired barn doors, is a Pinterest lover's dream.
Wood from an Amish tobacco barn in Pennsylvania
covers the impressive home's floors, which adds to the
distinctiveness of the overall design. One of the beautiful
fireplace mantles in the home was delivered from France,
shining light on the stories behind the details in the home.
Simpson hand-craed moldings throughout the home and
ensured each masterpiece he created worked in flow with
the design plan.
Exquise, and
energy efficient
It's the magnificent details that matter in this custom home on Neely Henry Lake.
