About This Home
As of April 2026Don’t make a move without experiencing this exceptional residence in one of Birmingham’s finest and most coveted walkable neighborhoods, just moments from the Rail District’s renowned dining, shopping, and parks. A gracious foyer sets the tone for the light-filled interior, showcasing wide-plank wood floors, refined millwork, crown moldings, and French doors opening to a sophisticated study or optional fourth bedroom. Designed for both elegant entertaining and everyday comfort, the open-concept main level features a spacious family room anchored by a fireplace and flowing seamlessly into a chef-inspired kitchen with an oversized island, premium cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a walk-in pantry. A generous dining area and thoughtfully designed mudroom enhance functionality without compromising style. Multiple access points lead to a private, fenced backyard with a composite deck (maintenance free deck)—an inviting setting for outdoor gatherings or quiet evenings. The upper level is highlighted by a serene primary suite offering a tray ceiling, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath. Two additional bedrooms, a beautifully appointed full bath, and convenient second-floor laundry complete the level. The lower-level features tall ceilings and an egress window, offering exceptional potential for a future finished living space. Exterior highlights include a welcoming covered porch, an elegant stone and wood facade, and an attached two-car garage. Ideally located near top-rated Birmingham Schools and the city’s most desirable amenities, this home delivers refined living, timeless design, and an unmatched walk-to-everything lifestyle. Bonus updates: new furnace, sump pump and water back up, overall excellent condition home. True pride of ownership. Call listing agent with any questions. Keys at closing.
