About This Home

7870 Old Hwy 20

Historic charm, beautiful grounds, and room to write your own story! Welcome to the Layton Estate, a distinctive 1940 residence situated on 2.55 acres just a block from historic downtown Leighton. Offering over 3,000 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home is filled with original character, soaring ceilings, beautiful wood floors, and gracious living spaces. The updated kitchen features granite countertops and modern appliances. A main-level primary suite offers convenience, while upstairs, a second primary suite with its own fireplace joins two additional spacious bedrooms. A second fireplace anchors the formal living room, adding warmth and character. Outside, mature magnolias and fruit trees create a picturesque setting, complete with a picket-fenced backyard, chicken coop, and detached garage/workshop. With generous acreage, timeless architecture, and proximity to all the North Alabama has to offer, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Shoals' History.
