    What's special

    Welcome to this thoughtfully reimagined mid-century modern home in Hoover’s Bluff Park, offering 2BR/2BA and extensive updates. Originally designed by an architect from Auburn University, this distinctive, move-in-ready home blends mid-century character with modern comfort. Features include a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet, expanded kitchen with stainless appliances and granite countertops, updated baths with heated floors and towel racks, plus new electrical, plumbing, HVAC and roof. Step outside to a huge, beautifully landscaped and newly fenced backyard with room to entertain, garden, play or create your own outdoor oasis. A detached storage building offers even more possibilities—storage, workshop, man cave, she-shed, studio or future guest space.
