Clean lines and an open floor plan are just the beginning of this fantastic mid century home, in historic Forest Park! The large formal living room and dining room are filled with natural light. Gleaming real hardwood floors throughout. A family room relates so well to outdoor entertaining around the sparkling swimming pool. Kitchen cabinets are topped with granite counters, gas cooking and loads of storage. The spacious primary bedroom suite offers two closets and a renovated full bathroom trimmed in classic black and white tiles. Roomy guest bedrooms share the second renovated full bathroom, with marble topped vanity. Enjoy the shaded and private rear deck. Single car garage and excellent storage on lower level. Location is perfect, minutes to UAB, Avondale park/entertainment and a short stroll to Forest Park village.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
