5033 8th Ct S, Birmingham, AL 35212

Bungalow living at its finest in Crestwood North, one of the hottest markets in the Birmingham metro! Nestled on 8th court south, this is one of the more flat sections in Crestwood so there is a great backyard with a detached garage and a long driveway for plenty of off street parking. Great care was given for this property over the years by the single family that owned it since it was built, which helped it retain many of its original features. Also, Crestwood park is just down the street! Recent completion of a six month major restoration and addition by The Craftsman Group, has made this home a show stopper. Nearly everything is custom and many things are one of a kind that you will not find anywhere else. When built in 1935, this Crestwood North bungalow was a two bedroom and one bathroom home. It is now a three bedroom two and a half bath home with nice size rooms. The original bath features its original tub, toilet, and lavatory, all restored. The living room retains its original bookcase (with the glass doors!) and brass fireplace insert. The entire original portion of the home has a brand new period stucco finish on the walls and five inch cove crown molding. All of the original doors, windows, and their hardware remain including the original front door. Every piece of the old brass hardware was removed and stripped of layers of paint. The original kitchen has been split into a half bath and a main level laundry room. The laundry room is 8ft by 6ft which leaves plenty of room for folding, ironing, or crafting. The kitchen is now located in the addition off the back of the house. Vintage windows were used to make the upper kitchen cabinet doors and the others make a dramatic impact over the kitchen sink. The kitchen has custom concrete countertops, Kohler Vault farmhouse sink, Brizo Tresa faucet, and special order tile backsplash. The kitchen also has a pantry and a workstation with sorting slots for mail/bills and a USB outlet for charging various electronics. There is a one of a kind range hood and light fixture over the sink. Also, a new 5 burner gas range with an interchangeable rack and griddle. There is a sitting/den area with lots of natural light, a plug on the wall for hanging a TV, and an 8ft door leading out to the new deck. The entire addition has hand distressed, whitewashed flooring, 10ft ceilings, and 7 inch cove crown molding. The entrance to the master bedroom has surprisingly unexpected details. The master bedroom has a high end light fixture that is on a dimmer switch. The master bedroom was designed and built around the set of antique mirrored doors. They were strategically placed to look like a built in armoire. Behind one door you will find a walk in closet with a built-in & lots of storage. Behind the other door you will find a master bath with designer tile, double vanity, and a shower that is tiled floor to ceiling. The home has a new 30 year roof, new electrical and plumbing system, all permitted and inspected, to meet the Birmingham City code guidelines. Pictures are GREAT but this house is a MUST SEE in person. All the attention to details along with the special attention to the lighting makes this home beautiful in the day time and night time.
