Step into timeless elegance with this stunning 1926 home in the highly sought-after Rail District of Birmingham. From the original vintage hardware to gleaming hardwood floors, leaded glass doors, and an inviting front porch, every detail has been meticulously preserved and enhanced over the years. Inside, the first floor welcomes you with soaring 9-foot ceilings, plaster walls, exquisite trim work, and an abundance of natural light. A cozy library and breathtaking chef's kitchen with weatherized, quartz countertops that is equipped with modern amenities while honoring the home's architectural integrity. The second story, thoughtfully redesigned in 2007 by Christopher Longe Design, features a luxurious primary suite with a window nook, walk-in closet, and spa-like bath complete with heated floors and a garden tub. A third bedroom with vaulted ceilings and skylight adds even more character and charm. The finished basement surprises with its high ceilings, ceramic flooring, generous living space, and exceptional storage - rare for a home of this vintage. Outside, enjoy a private backyard oasis, perfect for outdoor living and entertaining. Recent updates include a 2.5-car garage, Hardie-board siding, copper gutters, and an exposed aggregate driveway and patio - all completed within the last five years as well as two (2) new furnaces in 2021. Best of all, you're just a short walk to downtown Birmingham, where shopping, dining, and community events await.
