Welcome to this beautifully remodeled Downtown Birmingham home, thoughtfully expanded in 1992 by the builder-owner. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a seamless blend of historic charm and modern living. The kitchen features a gas Viking range with griddle, Walker Zanger tile backsplash, French limestone floors, and a walk-in pantry. High-end finishes are evident throughout, including custom Marvin windows, solid core interior doors, and high-end plumbing fixtures. The original red oak floors were meticulously re-laid to eliminate squeaks, ensuring a smooth flow between rooms. In the family room, a wood-burning fireplace is surrounded by a mantle cast from a historic Chicago Brownstone (circa 1880), while vintage French sconces adorn the family room and foyer, adding to its classic appeal. The light-filled primary suite boasts a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom featuring Waterworks and Kallista plumbing fixtures, a Newport soaking tub, and a steam shower. The carriage house provides 548 sq ft of flexible space for an office, in law suite, or recreation area, complete with an English kitchenette and full bath. Outdoor spaces are designed for entertaining, featuring a Richard Hass-designed landscape with a Bluestone patio, cedar pergola, and Belgian block driveway border. The garage includes an exterior garden room, ideal for the gardening enthusiast. With a new roof and re-stained red cedar shingle siding (2020), this home is move-in ready. Located near Quarton Elementary, Lucky Coffee, Mills Pharmacy, and Holiday Market, this home offers both convenience and a vibrant neighborhood lifestyle.
