Breathtaking home and setting. You will think you have left B'ham and are in Europe when you arrive at this property. All one level brick beauty with a huge master suite that was added in the last 4 years. The other 2 brs are very large with great closet space. Great kitchen with new appliances and plenty of storage. Butler's pantry/office off kitchen with a private bath. Living Room is huge with fireplace and built in bookcases. Step out to a patio and a private setting that is stunning. Many garden areas and 2 precious out buildings for chickens or an art studio. There is also a room that is currently a sewing room but could be finished as a 4th br. Walk up attic with plenty of room for expansion. Lot goes to Wellington View behind house. Must see this one!!
