Start a new chapter in life at 4245 5th Avenue South… “That house was a perfect house, whether you like food (open plan kitchen for entertaining) or sleep (4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms) or story-telling (Alabama front porch) or singing (great room), or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness." -J.R.R. Tolkien For page turning fun… Walk to Avondale’s Entertainment District for live music and good eats. Or picnic and play at Avondale Park! And of course, you could easily bike or drive to UAB and Birmingham city center. This home built in 1925 with good bones has been completely renovated… The interior has been gutted to the studs. New electrical wiring throughout, new insulation throughout, new studs throughout, new sheet rock throughout, new plumbing/pipes throughout, new hvac system and ductwork, new decking.
