Showing in Homewood, I often hear, “But we need storage, a garage, larger baths, bigger closets, bigger bedrooms,” and so on. This Hollywood house checks all the boxes. Charming street appeal, 1 car gar w/parking pad – no tandem parking, lrg sunkissed rooms – no carpet anywhere, 9 ft ceilings, formal DR, oversized LR w/adjoining office or playroom w/French doors leading to the backyard, dream kitchen w/island, gas stove & pantry, huge master BR, walk in closet & updated bath w/ double vanities & roomy free standing shower, ML laundry, and powder room. Upstairs are 3 BR/2 Baths . One w/dedicated bath is accessed by walking through a BR. Perfect for a playroom or the occasional overnight guest. And in back entertain on the patio – so private with the newly fenced yard and yes, there’s a salt water pool! Who isn’t dreaming of a dip about now? Charm, space, upgrades, updates, and it is turnkey! Come see this gem! Min to UAB, fine dining, even the Summit. Shades Cahaba Elementary.
