A Rare Retreat Where Southern Charm Meets Space to Breathe Tucked gently into the heart of Bluff Park, this nearly 3-acre sanctuary is what real estate dreams whisper about at night. With just under 3,000 square feet on the main level, four bedrooms, three baths, and a full in-law suite downstairs, this home offers room to stretch out, settle in, and stay a while. The backyard? A storybook. A pool sparkles beneath the Alabama sun. A brand-new screened deck invites sweet tea and slow conversations. A 1500 sq ft guest house makes room for family, friends, or your favorite hobby turned business. And yes — there’s even a large greenhouse, because paradise deserves fresh herbs and blooming things. Wrapped in privacy, this estate feels a world away—yet it rests in the very heart of modern-day Mayberry. That’s Bluff Park: a place where neighbors wave, kids ride bikes ’til dinner, and time kindly slows its pace. Opportunities like this don’t come often. And they don’t last long.
