Back when papa loved mambo and martini shakers were heard on the weekends, this was the place to be! Rarely does such a well-preserved post and beam mid-century modern come available. From the cork floors, to the original bathrooms, and kitchen, prepare to be transported in time and impressed with the quality preservation found throughout this home. Located in Forest Park and convenient to downtown and UAB, this mid-century modern embodies all that was fabulous. Light cascades through floor to ceiling glass in the den overlooking the stunning back yard. Terraces, walls, lush landscaping, and patio all become one with the house. One level living is exemplified with the main level carport. Exceptional storage and closets and thoughtful design are found throughout the home. If you're yearning for something more exciting than the mundane, this is the home for you. Living here is an experience, not just an existence.

Ever so rare is the mid century modern in Tudorville; AKA Birmingham. This two owner home is a perfect example of modern architecture that has been lovingly and sensitively updated retaining the original vibe and charm. Once you tour the home, you will notice how nothing was left to chance. The placement of windows and views were meant to capitalize on the position of the sun. Opening directly from the den, the patio beckons for a cocktail party with fabulous drinks and Dean Martin crooning in the background. You'll appreciate the painstaking efforts to retain original detail and charm while improving finishes and functionality of this spectacular home. From the cork flooring to the large windows and cathedral beamed ceilings, nothing says modern like this jewel.
