As of June 2026Beautiful brick home in the heart of Birmingham, offering an unbeatable location just minutes from downtown and nearby parks.

The upper floors provide exceptional privacy with a thoughtfully designed layout. The second floor is dedicated entirely to the primary suite, creating a true retreat. The third floor includes two additional bedrooms and a full bath, while the fourth floor offers a versatile loft space with its own full bathroom and washer and dryer.
