Welcome to this newer (for Vestavia) build located on Shades Crest Road. Upon entering you will find an expansive stone front porch, beautiful hardwood floors and soaring ceilings. The main level houses a two car garage, a laundry room AND mudroom, a roomy family room, a large private suite with walk in closets, as well as an additional bedroom and half bath! The kitchen welcomes plenty of light with windows across the back overlooking the large, flat, stone patio and backyard. Upstairs you will find three large bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Not only is there a cozy family room, complete with fireplace, but also an unexpected bonus/playroom! Storage is not a problem with a walk in attic, addtional storage room in the garage, as well as a storage room for yard equipment. With easy sidewalk access to one of the best views in the city, this home backs up to Vestavia Drive. Fourth of July fireworks? check!!
Some say BEAUTY is only skin deep, that it's what's inside that really counts. The 2007 RENOVATION of 2444 SHADES CREST ROAD showcases a near perfect blend of aesthetics and substance. The end result is a BIG, BEAUTIFUL, FAMILY HOME that truly LIVES AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS. While its looks are TIMELESSLY CLASSIC and it leans toward traditional, just under the surface and what you CAN'T readily see, are the HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS used and applied with the most INNOVATIVE of today's construction practices. The owners took great care to make this home just right for a family. The OPEN LAYOUT provides wonderful room for MULTIPLE FAMILY ACTIVITIES and ENTERTAINING as well as making utilitarian spaces easy/convenient to get to. The list is LONG (too long for this limited space) but much was included that makes this HOME both PHYSICALLY AND FINANCIALLY COMFORTABLE! It really all comes back to FORM AND FUNCTION and both are a thing of BEAUTY here in this REMARKABLE HOME. Come see it!
