    What's special

    Holy cannoli—this may be one of the best values in Birmingham! Offering approximately 1,900 square feet near the Rail District, this three-bedroom, three-bath home is priced at roughly $250 per square foot, making it an exceptional opportunity in 48009. Originally a modest ranch, the home was transformed by an approximately 800-square-foot addition in 2004. The unique and flexible layout features a spacious living room, a large family room, and an impressive upper-level primary suite with a generous walk-in closet and private bath. Additional highlights include mostly hardwood floors, an updated kitchen completed 2016, many newer windows, a basement, and a rare two-and-a-half-car attached garage. While there are opportunities to make future improvements, the expensive and difficult-to-add features—square footage, three bathrooms, basement, and attached garage—are already here. Situated on an easy-to-maintain corner lot, the home is close to the Birmingham Ice Arena, tennis courts, parks, and all the restaurants, breweries, shops, and activity of the Rail District. Welcome to Birmingham living with the space you want at a price that is increasingly hard to find.
