About This Home

As of October 2022

You must see this beautifully remodeled home in the historic district of downtown Bessemer! Nothing to do but move in and enjoy the convenient location and beautiful tree lined streets! Four spacious bedrooms, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths are on the MAIN level. Two spacious bedrooms and the 3rd full bath upstairs makes this home a move in ready "jewel" for a large family! The newly finished original hardwood floors, granite counter tops and tiled bathroom floors (in all 3 newly remodeled full baths) are just some of the really charming features! Front street parking and a very large back yard (off the alley) offer PLENTY of parking! Would make an excellent choice for a growing family. There is even room to finish additional square feet in the basement if you need more space! You can literally walk to all downtown shops, and restaurants! Seller left all the charm including a lovely covered porch off the side of the dining room....perfect for family gatherings and cookouts!
