About This Home

As of August 2025

Located in the heart of Birmingham, this AZD-designed residence is a rare architectural gem, named Detroit Home Design’s Best Overall Home in 2010. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and custom built with interiors by RJ Laney Design, this 5-bedroom, 4.1-bathroom home spans 3,533 square ft and offers a harmonious blend of form, function, and artistry. Mahogany double doors open to expansive living and dining areas, defined by soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and tranquil views of a bamboo garden. Crafted mahogany woodwork and bespoke fixtures accent the interiors, from the chef’s kitchen to the mahogany-paneled library with built-ins. In the kitchen, rich mahogany cabinetry frames a custom-crafted solid mahogany island, while built-in premium appliances—including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf double oven, and 2 Bosch dishwashers—integrate seamlessly into the space. The floating spiral staircase connects all three levels, anchoring the home’s dramatic design. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a fireplace, spa-style bathrooms joined by a stone walk-through shower and soaking tub, and two walk-in closets. Two private ensuite bedrooms ensure a quiet retreat for guests, while a lounge and well-designed laundry room complete the upper level. The lower level is ideal for entertaining or extended living, with a full kitchen with GE appliances, family room pre-wired for theater use, and two additional bedrooms—one suited for a home gym.
Additional features include a water filtration system, integrated stereo sound, security system with cameras, and a custom metal roof with snow guards. The attached 2-car garage includes epoxy floors, new door springs, and under-garage storage. Professionally landscaped grounds complement the home’s bold architectural lines with privacy and beauty. Situated in one of Birmingham’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this custom residence blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort.
