Birmingham living with exceptional flexibility and space to live, work and entertain. Tucked away on a quiet dead-end street just moments from downtown Birmingham and St. James Park, this thoughtfully updated Colonial offers an ideal blend of style, character and versatility.
Fresh paint, gleaming hardwood floors, updated lighting and hardware create a bright, polished feel throughout. The first floor features a formal living room, eat-in kitchen and inviting family room with gas fireplace and French doors leading to a charming stone patio. The refreshed kitchen offers freshly painted cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, new hardware and a new Wolf gas cooktop. Upstairs, the private primary suite features an updated ensuite bath and private terrace, along with two additional bedrooms, full bath and laundry.
The home’s standout spaces continue beyond the traditional floor plan: a versatile third floor with wet bar and private sundeck offers the perfect fourth bedroom, office or creative retreat, while the finished lower level features 11-foot ceilings, projector screen and custom acid-etched floors.
A rare bonus is the finished studio apartment above the detached two-car garage, complete with full bath, kitchenette, new LVP flooring & prepped for HVAC—ideal for guests, a home office, au pair or private retreat. Walkable Birmingham location, quiet setting and an exceptional collection of flexible spaces make this a truly unique opportunity.
