Fully renovated in 2025, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers over 2,100 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, blending high-end finishes with a warm, inviting layout.

The finished basement adds flexible space for a media room, gym, or game area, and is already prepped for a future half bath. Outside, you’ll find a fenced backyard, fresh sod and landscaping, and a covered front porch framed by Hardie board siding and a striking black metal roof. With new PEX plumbing, a dual-zone HVAC system, and a brand-new water heater, this home offers the comfort of new construction with the character of an established neighborhood—just minutes from downtown Birmingham.
