Property Description
The front elevation boasts a spacious front porch fantastic for relaxing with family and al fresco dining all under a stately new porch pendant light. The new entryway leads into the grand foyer where you'll see new hardwood flooring throughout the entire first floor. As you walk through the grand dining room and into a bar area with exposed brick and cased opening, you'll find the heart of the home, the enormous kitchen. Expert design from March+May allowed the kitchen and dining areas to be razed, structurally enhanced and rebuilt solidly. Cooking enthusiasts will be amazed with features including custom floor to ceiling cabinetry painted with Farrow and Ball paint, quartzite counter tops and backsplash. A stained wood island measuring 9.5' x 5.33' is wonderful for meal prep, serving, and entertaining. Unlacquered brass knobs, pulls and faucet, and pendant lights pay homage to the 1920s era, but overhead track lighting, custom roman shade window treatments, Viking oven/range and in-island microwave, Subzero refrigerator, 2 freezer drawers and ice maker, and Cove dishwasher are modern touches.
The oversized kitchen doubles as an entertainment space with a living area and informal dining complete with banquette seating. The walk-through pantry and laundry room has abundant storage, an additional refrigerator, wash sink, spacious folding area and hanging rack. A second cased opening in the kitchen leads to a mudroom complete with original, stained, tongue and groove wood walls and custom cubbies, cabinets and desk area. Additional updates include brand new exterior doors from the kitchen and mudroom (featuring original side lights and transom), copper awning, and entryway sconce lighting.
The first floor boasts 10' ceilings with a formal living room, family den (with custom window treatments), a powder room with marble and elegant wallpaper, as well as a massive sunroom with abundant windows. The second and third floors feature refinished original heart pine flooring with 9' ceilings on the second floor. The second floor contains the primary bedroom and bath, two additional bedrooms (one with an en suite bath), and a dream playroom. There is also a large living room adjoining the primary bedroom. On the third floor, there is an additional bedroom with ensuite bath, a second laundry room, a cedar closet, and plenty of walk-in and floored attic space.
Sitting on a lot just over 0.8 acres, there is room for hobbies and activities. Play a game of catch, garden or even raise chickens; the possibilities are endless. Look in any direction and you'll see mature oak and camellia trees, green space and flowers everywhere. In Spring 2025, new sod was laid in place of an old driveway to the front and side of the house. An invisible dog fence was laid around the perimeter of the entire property. Additional updates and features: entire exterior painted in December 2024, most of the interior painted in 2022, unlacquered brass door knobs and french door pins, overhead lighting installed throughout the first floor, cast iron HVAC floor vents, underground utilities including AT&T fiber, new electrical panels, and a Bilco cellar door. The possibilities are endless with this truly classic home. Seller is a licensed real estate agent in the state of Alabama.
