Built in 1917, 1012 Highland Road retains the craftsmanship and character that make historic Edgewood homes so distinctive. True natural-wood trim and hardwood floors run throughout the home, bringing warmth and continuity to its three-bedroom, two-bath floor plan. A dedicated office provides space for working from home, while the sunroom offers a comfortable extension of the living space overlooking the backyard. The updated kitchen features brick-veneer flooring, and additional structural supports were incorporated during the renovation. Positioned between Edgewood Elementary and Homewood Middle School, the home is also near Dawson Church, the Homewood Community Center, and the shops and restaurants of Edgewood. Historic details, thoughtful updates, and a functional layout come together in a walkable community, ready for its next chapter! * Images were edited to remove remaining furniture.
Edgewood, located between Downtown Homewood and Red Mountain, is a walkable and residential Homewood neighborhood with a village-style commercial strip and leafy, sidewalk-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Edgewood Boulevard near Oxmoor Road, where coffee counters, chef-driven dining rooms, and small storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Saw’s BBQ anchors the local food scene, while Edgewood Creamery adds a classic scoop-shop ritual. Housing leans toward early-20th-century cottages and brick homes, with pockets of newer infill that keeps the streetscape varied. Edgewood Park and the nearby Homewood Central Park green space set a relaxed outdoor rhythm, and the short drive to the Birmingham Zoo and Botanical Gardens broadens the weekend map.
