Description

A rare in-town offering just steps from downtown Birmingham, this 4,286 SF brick residence with an additional 1,200 SF finished lower is a blend of timeless architecture, elevated design, and modern comfort. Expansion built in 2014 while preserving details of the original home, move-in ready, the home is set on a coveted 190-foot-deep, private, professionally landscaped lot, moments from Birmingham’s premier dining, boutiques, Shain Park, and year-round events. At the heart of the home, a light-filled, open-concept kitchen showcases an oversized island, Thermador appliances, stone countertops and a charming window seat, flowing seamlessly into a sun-splashed breakfast room. A formal dining room and butler’s pantry elevate both entertaining and everyday living. Rich walnut floors, plantation shutters, and three fireplaces-including historic Detroit Pewabic tile, bring warmth, character, and unmistakable style throughout. Indoor-outdoor living is effortless, with both main living spaces opening to a brick paver patio and breathtaking gardens, an ideal backdrop for intimate gatherings or grand entertaining. The home offers four bedrooms, anchored by an expansive primary suite with its own fireplace and sitting area. Two of three additional bedrooms are en suites, including a remarkable full-floor third-level suite, perfect as a second primary retreat, guest quarters, au pair suite, or private office. The finished lower level with 10-foot ceilings adds flexibility with a spacious recreation room, full bath, second laundry, and generous storage. Completing the property is a true Birmingham rarity: a heated three-car garage with a finished 500+ SF suite above, featuring a kitchenette, full bath, fireplace, ideal for guests, a home office, studio, or rec lounge. An aggregate stone drive, inviting porches and pristine grounds round out this one-of-a-kind Birmingham residence, where timeless character meets effortless comfort, thoughtfully designed for today’s modern living.
