About This Home

As of February 2020

Welcome to 845 42nd Street South! This wonderful 3 Bedroom 1 1/2 Bath Bungalow may be just what you've been looking for. Natural light floods through the French doors and windows on the front of the house across the gleaming hardwood floors. The spacious living room with fireplace is connected to the dining room by French Doors with vintage glass panes. The baths and kitchen have all been beautifully updated. The spacious tiled front porch is a great place to relax or entertain guests anytime, but especially as the sun begins to fade. Just a few blocks from Forest Park's charming business district in one direction, and from Avondale Park and all that the Avondale entertainment district has to offer, and minutes to Downtown Birmingham, this lovely home is perfectly, situated to allow you to enjoy all that urban living has to offer. A fenced back yard and off-street parking are great bonuses as well. Welcome Home!
