What's special

Rare opportunity to own a piece of Birmingham history! Situated on a prime corner lot on the coveted west side of Woodward, this 1924 English Cottage is steps from downtown shopping, dining, and Barnum Park. Held by the same family for over 35 years, this home is a blank canvas awaiting your vision. Historic character shines through with oak hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, wet plaster walls, and a clawfoot tub. The enchanting grounds—originally designed by the neighborhood's beloved "Garden Lady"—burst with perennial beauty. A private driveway off Clark St leads to a home offering unlimited potential, including a spacious second-floor loft. Bring your renovation dreams to life in one of Birmingham's most sought-after in-town locations. Immediate possession at closing.
