Easy Crestwood living meets timeless charm in this classic brick ranch, where hardwood floors, thoughtful updates, and a private backyard create a home that feels both comfortable and connected. The living spaces flow naturally from room to room, with gleaming hardwoods throughout and updated baths featuring tile floors. The refreshed kitchen pairs granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a subway tile backsplash, while the utility room just off the carport adds everyday convenience with a washer and dryer that remain, plus an additional storage room. Out back, a large patio and private yard provide the perfect setting for grilling, gathering, or giving kids and pets room to play and enjoy nature. Just over a mile from Crestwood Park and less than two miles from Avondale Park, with easy access to downtown Birmingham, UAB, and major medical centers, this is Crestwood living at its best—neighborhood character, parks, local favorites, and an easy connection to the city.
