An Impressive Stickley-Inspired Craftsman Cottage with Asian Influences nestled on a quarter acre corner lot overlooking the City of Birmingham. Built in 1912 and has most all the original woodwork & built-ins still intact. Renovations in 2008, included the addition of a gourmet kitchen/keeping room with additional vented gas fireplace, modern bathroom, and large two-level deck. The grounds have two distinct areas with a variety of beautiful trees and gardens. Enjoy two additional patios, the brick patio within the garden while the huge stone patio is in the wooded area. The U-shaped raised garden is a great place to grow vegetables and herbs. In addition to the main house, there is a large three-level daylight basement apartment with laundry and two entrances that can serve as either an in-law suite or potential rental income. There is also a workshop on one of the basement level floors. Welcome to country estate living within the City of Birmingham and 3 minutes to UAB!
