    What's special

    Glen Iris affords some of the most historic houses in Birmingham, and Idlewild Circle is the belle of Glen Iris. The house reflects a time when houses were built to owner specifications with attention to detail and features not found in houses of the day, like tall ceilings, extra-large rooms, and the lots were ample for gardening, privacy & entertaining. This 4 BR/2.5 Bath beauty sits on .66 usable acre lot, with an easy commute to UAB. New roof and plumbing and wiring were updated in 2013! From the full light entry doors that were replicated to the original design, covered front porch, & magnificent foyer and staircase, character abounds calling forth the sense of a time of elegance and a different lifestyle. The amenities are all there! Updated kitchen & baths, so that’s all done for you. Gleaming HW’s throughout! The screened porch overlooking the backyard is fabulous for morning coffee or private dinners. Sellers had hoped to stay but work called elsewhere.
