About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to this well-built and well-maintained, all-brick home in one of Gardendale’s most convenient neighborhoods. Loved and cared for by its previous owners for many years, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers a classic layout with a formal living and dining area, a cozy family room with a fireplace, and an eat-in kitchen. Situated on a large, flat lot with a fully fenced backyard, there’s plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment, pets, or entertaining. Key updates include a 2018 hot water heater, double-paned windows, a new septic system with lines and pump (2025), and a roof and HVAC system estimated to be around 10 years old. With approximately 1,540 square feet of comfortable living space, this home sits on a nice street just minutes from schools, shopping, and restaurants.
