- Glenn Northcutt of Dothan fired a 3-under par 69 in the final round of the 10th annual Greystone Invitational on the Founder’s Course at Greystone Golf and Country Club to seal the tournament victory by one stroke June 27.
It used to be that attics were dumping grounds for the family Christmas tree, off-season clothing and outdated gadgets. They were dark, dusty and sometimes downright scary.
These days, homeowners like Daphne Harding-Smith are embracing the angled walls and converting their attics into master suites, guest rooms, offices or custom hideaways. Harding-Smith did all those things and more. The attic, in essence, is a spacious, modern apartment with all the amenities.
Daphne and her husband, British-born Alistair Harding-Smith, moved into their custom-built six-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom Heritage Park Lane home in The Preserve community almost five years ago. The Harding-Smiths and their three children, ages 10, 8 and 6, were among the first to settle on the street.
