You drove in for a big day: Turning Blue, Turning Green, Airborne or OSUT graduation. Here, the whole family can land in one place. You punch in the code, step inside, and hear the kids already calling dibs on the bunk beds. By evening, the grill is smoking on the covered deck, someone has cannonballed into the pool, and the ceremony stories are just getting started.

THE LAYOUT
The living room, kitchen and dining room open into one bright space, so no one gets left out of the conversation. A reading nook off the kitchen opens through French doors onto the pool deck. Three bedrooms sit upstairs for quiet nights. The downstairs holds two more bedrooms, including the game room, where the kids can be as loud as they like.

LIVING ROOM
Sink into the deep blue sectional and let the afternoon slow down. Light pours through tall windows and floral curtains, and the large Smart TV with Roku is ready for movie night. Kick your feet up, pass the popcorn, and let the day's excitement settle.

KITCHEN
Navy cabinets and warm butcher-block counters make this a kitchen you'll want to cook in. The coffee station is set up before you are, with a Krups maker, electric kettle, tea and cocoa ready for early report times. Drawers are stocked with utensils, shelves hold wine glasses and mugs, and the range has all the pots and pans a family dinner needs. Grab your first cup and carry it to the corner breakfast nook, where the morning sun comes through the blinds.

DINING AREA
The long wood table with coral chairs is where your group comes together. Picture plates passed down the line, a toast to the new soldier, and a tired kid half asleep on someone's shoulder.

BEDROOMS

Bedroom 1 (upstairs): King bed with an upholstered headboard, TV, luggage rack and private bathroom
Bedroom 2 (upstairs): Queen bed plus a single bed
Bedroom 3 (upstairs): Queen bed with a tufted green headboard and soft natural light
Bedroom 4 (downstairs): Two queen beds plus a sofa bed, with a bookshelf and colorful art
Bedroom 5 (downstairs game room): Bunk bed next to the arcade and bean bags, the room every kid asks for

BATHROOMS
There are two full bathrooms. One has a tub and shower combo, and the other has a walk-in glass shower under warm vanity lights. Both have fresh towels waiting.

OUTDOOR AREAS
Step out back and the day changes pace. The guitar-shaped pool is yours around the clock, all year, with a hammock swaying under a red umbrella at the water's edge. Up on the covered deck, the gas grill sizzles while the rest of the group stretches out on the wicker sectional or the loungers in the shade. The kids race from the playset to the slide and back, and the fully fenced lawn keeps pets and little ones close.

READING NOOK & GAME ROOM
The reading nook is the quiet corner of the house. It has a red armchair, a leafy view and French doors to the pool. Its shelves are stacked with Catan, Scrabble, Yahtzee and Connect 4 for game night. Downstairs, the game room brings the noise with foosball, a classic arcade cabinet and oversized bean bags.

NEIGHBORHOOD
The home sits on a quiet residential street in North Columbus, with grocery stores, shopping and dining just minutes away. Fort Benning is an easy drive, with quick highway access for early ceremony mornings. When you have a free afternoon, the RiverWalk, Uptown Columbus and Chattahoochee whitewater rafting are all close by.

MILITARY FAMILIES
We've hosted many graduation families here, and a military discount is available. Just ask when you message us.
