About this home
Welcome to this historic Tudor on one of Forest Park's most beloved streets, Linwood Road. With classic charm & beautiful curb appeal, you'll instantly feel at home. Inside, the main level has plenty of space to spread out with a formal living room with fireplace, a study with built-ins (and the perfect spot for a piano) & a family room with a 2nd fireplace, built-ins & vaulted ceiling with skylights. The kitchen has marble countertops, stainless steel appliances, an island & opens to a breakfast room surrounded by floor to ceiling windows. Upstairs, the master suite has a beautifully updated ensuite bath with walk-in shower, dual vanity & a large closet connected to the laundry room. Two bedrooms upstairs share an updated full bath with tub/shower combo. Outside, the back patio has a wonderful, private feel; tons of hydrangeas & plenty of space for dining or lounge furniture. Also in back, a guest house with kitchen, living room, bedroom, full bath & washer/dryer hookups!
Forest Park, located between Highland Park and Avondale, is a historic and residential Birmingham neighborhood with a leafy park core and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Clairmont Avenue near the Forest Park golf course, where porch-lit streets meet a small run of local dining and patio chatter. The Garage Café and Rojo serve as longtime gathering spots, while the Birmingham Botanical Gardens adds a cultivated, quiet counterpoint nearby. Tudor Revival and Craftsman homes line curving blocks that rise and dip with the ridge. Sidewalk strolls trace pocket greens, stone walls, and mature trees. The pace reads calm, with city energy close enough to register.
