Historic 1920 home in the coveted Forest Park neighborhood on one of the most desirable streets. This full brick home features all the charm of the 1920's with high ceilings, crown molding, archways and abundant natural light. The main level has a formal living room, formal dining room, sitting room, kitchen, breakfast room, powder room and laundry room. There are 4 bedrooms upstairs each with a shared bath. The pool is low maintenance and helps make this the "hangout" house for the neighborhood. Sellers hate to leave the cherished neighborhood that rotates locations for Friday nights' kids and cocktails hour (how can you not love that?). New roof and exterior paint. This is a very walkable community close to area parks. Also minutes from UAB, St. Vincent's, downtown and area interstates.
