About this home

This Hoover home with fantastic curb appeal sits on a quiet area of beautiful Shades Crest Road. You’ll love the charm of hardwood floors, a wood burning fireplace in the living room, and the cozy den with wood beam ceilings! The kitchen has some updates with high end stainless appliances, bead board, and a built-in microwave. The outdoor living space in this home is great, too. As you enjoy the backyard view from the upstairs porch and patio, you won’t believe you’re so conveniently located to downtown Birmingham and UAB. The landscaped yard is fully fenced in back, and the property line extends beyond the fenced yard all the way to Alford Avenue. The full, unfinished basement has tons of storage space and shelving and leads out to a second covered patio. Come see this Shades Crest gem today!
