About This Home

As of August 2025

You are going to LOVE this unique wooded paradise in the Forest Brook community in Homewood, AL!

This overlooks a HUGE 2-tier deck equipped with lighting and speaker system, a great space for entertaining! Outstanding features include beautiful hardwood floors throughout the main level, an ensuite primary bedroom, a spacious dining room with plenty of natural light, and a big finished den/office/playroom in the basement. Pretty brick and cedar-shingle on the exterior of the house, two-car basement garage, extra-wide driveway for ample parking, central vacuum, and HYDRA whole house water filtration system are addition features!
