About This Home

As of January 2025

BUYERS AGENTS WELCOME Gardendale is truly one of Birmingham’s hidden gems. Only a 15 to 20 minute drive from downtown Birmingham, but worlds away from city life. This home has been lovingly cared for by the same couple for over two decades! This is an adorable 60s split level with few stairs and tons of character. You will be greeted by a grilling deck just before you enter the open concept, newly remodeled kitchen/living space. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a generous primary suite, sit on the upper split level- while a giant cozy den and sunroom are on the lower level. There is an expansive yard (0.4 acres) for you to imagine. And all of the big ticket items such as the roof (2010), air conditioner (2013) siding/gutters (2008) windows (2005) water heater (2023) quartz countertops/kitchen appliances (2020) have been recently replaced. Zoned for GARDENDALE SCHOOLS. Come and see your new home today!
