Property Description


0.00 Acres Lot
Built in 1930
For Sale - Active
Units n/a

One of Tuscaloosa’s grandest houses comes to market. Situated on a large lot, the house, front porch, and rear terraces afford stunning views of the park-like grounds. Inside a large foyer, living room, and dining room provide ample space for entertaining, while the study, den, and sunroom feature more intimate settings. The beautifully renovated kitchen boasts all new stainless steel appliances, marble countertops, polished nickel fixtures, and plentiful storage. An additional 196 heated and cooled sqft. was recently enclosed to provide a generous rear entrance hall and laundry area with a brand new washer & dryer. Four oversized bedrooms and 3 bathrooms complete the upstairs. An attached garage built in 2012 was designed to be easily enclosed as additional living space. The attention to detail and quality craftsmanship on display render this light-filled and elegant home a very rare find.
