Rare opportunity to own a charming 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home nestled on an exceptional 1.65-acre lot with rolling hills and surrounded by multi-million-dollar homes. The setting and size of the property make this a truly desirable opportunity for those looking to renovate and restore the existing home or create something entirely new. High demand Birmingham Schools also adds to the list of impressive selling points. The existing home offers wonderful character and architectural details, including hardwood floors, detailed trim moldings, a lovely sunroom, and a cozy den with wood paneling and built-ins. The spacious kitchen features a distinctive copper hood, while a first-floor junior suite off the kitchen—originally used as a housekeeper’s quarters—provides additional flexibility. The primary suite includes a separate nursery, and the bathrooms retain their original tile, offering a glimpse of the home's vintage character. Whether your vision is to thoughtfully renovate the existing home, expand and reimagine the space, or explore the possibility of building a new residence, the 1.65-acre setting provides tremendous potential. Located among some of the area's most impressive homes, this is a rare chance to create something special in a highly desirable location. Please note: A water pipe froze during the winter, resulting in flooding in the basement. The basement has since been gutted. The home currently has no power or water service. The property is being sold in its current condition. See the 3D tour for a virtual walk-through.
