About This Home

As of February 2025

***Fully Renovated and Move in Ready!*** Im so excited to share this newly renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath oasis on a quiet street in the hoover/shades mountain area, conveniently located to I-65, minutes from downtown Birmingham. Step into the open-concept kitchen, complete with new white, soft close cabinetry, leathered granite countertops, polished nickel fixtures, a chic bridge faucet, and a serving bar overlooking the dining area.
