1912 Shades Crest Rd, Birmingham, AL 35216

Truly magnificent builder's home with spectacular view of Vulcan and Red Mountain, on a 3.27 ac lot. This may be the warmest, most inviting large home I've ever seen, with its Australian cypress floors, oak library paneling in study, covered porches on the side and rear(rear porch has private outdoor shower), glorious vaulted and high ceilings, a truly capacious master bedroom/bath on the main level and a generally very open floor plan with a huge state-of-the-art kitchen that includes custom-built cabinets, all stainless steel appliances, two convection ovens, a wine cooler and a warming drawer. The upstairs includes an immense studio with white painted floor and a dramatic view of the valley and Red Mountain, three large bedrooms(one is currently being used as an exercise room but has an expandable closet) and a wide, warm, house-length landing that could be used as a kid's play area or a wonderful entertainment room. 3518 SF in base is part fin.
