About This Home

As of October 2023

Showings start Thurs, September 14. Ever dreamed of owning a piece of history? This historic log cabin sits on a double lot on the crest of Shades Mountain. Erected in 1938, this cabin was the dream of North Carolina natives, the Krawchecks, who dreamed of having a mountain home just outside the city. They painstakingly searched for someone who knew how to fasten the logs cut from their property intricately together; finally locating an old cabinetmaker and former shipbuilder. The master bedroom features tongue and groove walls and closets are cedar-lined. A separate apartment with kitchenette in the basement is perfect for an au pair or in law suite. Walk to the school, the grocery & Bluff Park favorites. HVAC (2015). Water Heater (2006). Septic serviced (2019). Metal roof (early 2000s) Pergola, the coolest screened porch in Birmingham and an acre of outdoor places to enjoy, this home is shockingly private and an entertainer's paradise all at the same time! WELCOME HOME!
