About This Home

A rare offering rises here, a custom spec build set on a sweeping half-acre lot, framed by mature trees and calming vistas that shift with the light. This is a place where space, style, and serenity meet in a way that doesn’t come around often, especially in such a coveted corner on the line of Hoover and Vestavia. Perfectly positioned near it all, the home sits just minutes from the interstate and enjoys effortless access to Birmingham, and the storied charm of Bluff Park. The setting, however, feels worlds away—quiet, private, and wonderfully removed from the rush. Inside, the home offers generous square footage designed to welcome a large family with ease. High ceilings, thoughtful finishes, and an intentional layout create a sense of comfort and calm. And when it’s time to unwind, the outdoor living spaces step forward—private, shaded, and ideal for gathering under the canopy of trees that stand like old friends. Rated Best in Show in the 2026 Birmingham Parade of Homes!
