About This Home

Opportunity to renovate a traditional brick and siding home located on a corner lot directly across from an elementary school in the Ensley area of Birmingham. The property offers approximately 1,000 sq ft of living space with a functional layout and solid structure, but it will require a full renovation throughout. Interior finishes are dated and several areas show signs of wear and damage including ceilings, flooring, cabinetry, and wall finishes. The lot provides good space for outdoor improvements and the location across from a school and within an established neighborhood creates strong potential for a long-term rental or resale after renovation. Ideal for investors, contractors, or buyers looking for a full rehab project with value-add potential. Property sold as-is.
