Welcome to Cottage 7 in Cliff Court. This is a Tudor-style cottage in Birmingham’s Highland Park. Designed by architect D. O. Whilldin in the 1920s as part of an English village–inspired courtyard of eight nearly identical cottages, Cliff Court is a contributing resource in the Country Club National Register Historic District. Properties in this pocket seldom come on the open market. Vacant and easy to show. No HOA. Some furniture may be available by negotiation. Built before 1978; lead-based paint disclosure applies. Buyer to verify schools, utilities, and City historic-district guidelines. Don't miss the opportunity to own a timeless Highland Park cottage home.
Highland Park, located between Five Points South and Lakeview, is a historic and walkable Birmingham neighborhood with a park-lined ridge and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highland Avenue corridor near Rhodes Park, where coffee counters, patios, and small eateries set a steady street-level hum. Iconic pillars include the Alabama Theatre, the Alys Stephens Center, and the historic Highland Park Golf Course. Brick apartments and Craftsman-era homes share leafy blocks and stone stairways that climb the hillside. Pocket parks and overlooks shape daily routines, while downtown sits just beyond the ridge. Sidewalks link restaurants, galleries, and green space in a compact grid.
