Full detached guest house. Fantastic location very close to dining, hopping, grocery, and the Rocky Ridge Entertainment District. The 3/2 updated Main House is open and airy with lots of light and would be great for entertaining. The detached Guest House would be ideal for in-laws, kids in college, or even a rental since the Guest House utilities are metered separately.

This property is a fixer upper but has good "Bones" and a beautiful Lot. Guest Cottage on the property is in good shape and would be a great In-Law set up. Location cannot be beat and the property is contiguous to Vestavia. Price reflects needed work.
