What's special

Some homes are just lived in. This one has been loved in. Tucked into one of Birmingham's most beloved historic neighborhoods, this Southside charmer sits just minutes from UAB and the buzz of Five Points South, with local restaurants, shops, and gathering spots all close by. But the real magic here is the view. Catch a glimpse of Vulcan from the front porch in the winter months, and soak in year-round views of downtown Birmingham. Inside, you'll find a home filled with character at every turn and cared for with real intention. The current owner has thoughtfully updated it over the years: a fully renovated kitchen (2017) with stainless steel appliances and custom open shelving, beautiful stone pathways and patio, refinished hardwoods in the upstairs sunporch, and fresh exterior paint. After pouring so much heart into making this house a home, she's ready to pass the torch — to the next lucky soul who'll love it just as much. Could that be you?
