Ideally located just a 10-minute walk from downtown Birmingham's outstanding restaurants, boutique shopping, and entertainment, with several beautifully maintained city parks and schools also within a short walk. Built with exceptional attention to detail, this 4-bedroom home features a sophisticated open-concept design that seamlessly blends modern elegance with rich, warm wood tones, creating an inviting and refined atmosphere throughout. Beautiful hardwood flooring, soaring 9-foot ceilings on the first floor, and an impressive great room with a large gas fireplace enhance the home's warmth and architectural appeal. The gourmet kitchen is appointed with white shaker-style cabinetry, elegant marble countertops, a striking oversized island, high-end stainless steel appliances with smart-home technology, and a walk-in pantry. The luxurious primary suite offers a spacious walk-in closet and beautifully appointed bath with an oversized soaking tub and separate shower. Marble countertops throughout the kitchen and all bathrooms add timeless elegance and sophistication. Additional highlights include a convenient second-floor laundry room and a fully finished lower level featuring an additional bathroom and versatile space for recreation, entertaining, or a home office.
