Big brick, big lot, and serious space inside and out. This rare find in Birmingham, just off the Avenue I exit, offers nearly 2400 square feet with four bedrooms and two baths designed for real living. Hardwood floors and woodwork add warmth and charm throughout the space. The upstairs private bedroom includes its own en suite with a jetted tub, while flexible bonus areas invite you to shape spaces that fit your lifestyle whether that means a quiet nook or a creative studio. Outside, the oversized lot features a large side patio, built in brick grill, and an elevated deck perfect for entertaining or relaxing. The generous detached three car brick garage provides ample storage and parking. This is the kind of space, structure, and potential that is getting harder to find!
