2318 1st Ave N, Birmingham, AL 35203

The Avenues is the name of a more than century old building with a long history located in the Historic Loft District in Birmingham. It was built in 1914 and has very thick masonry walls and concrete between each floor which makes for a very quiet and solid living space. The floors are 100 year-old heart pine with amazing color and depth. This building was totally gutted in 2008 with new double pane windows in the main living area, new plumbing, electric, HVAC and elevator and hundreds of other improvements. It was so well done it was highlighted in the Birmingham Business Journal as a new level in loft living. The building consists of of 9 units with their own gated, secure parking area and a code key buzzer type front door. You can let people in just by having them call you. This unit is about 1400 sq feet and has a very large living area with a new kitchen, concrete counter tops, stainless steel appliances and wonderful views of 1st Avenue North. It comes with a washer and dryer, 12 ft ceilings, century old heart pine flooring, marble bathroom, walk in master closet and more. The building has a roof top garden gathering area that is common to all tenants but is almost 2000 square feet so it has plenty of room for more than one group. This upper floor unit has rarely been empty. Most tenants stay for 3-4 years. It is literally next door to numerous restaurants and bars on 1st Ave North and just a short walk to the Heaviest Corner on Earth as well as 2nd Avenue North and the very hot Morris Avenue with even more bars and eating choices. The new Publix is just a 5 minute drive away. Assigned one-car parking and a small utility closet for seasonal storage is also included. It is pet friendly. Tennant pays for personal electric, internet and entertainment packages
