Property Description

A storybook 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath cottage on Baldwin Road, one of Birmingham's most premier streets.Steep cedar-shake gables, light-gray shingle siding, and a clinker-brick entry with an ornate iron door face the street. Twin bay windows, a glass-block basement light, and layered hydrangeas and hostas give the front a private, established feel.Inside, textured plaster, dark timber beams, and hand-hewn plank doors keep the craftsman character. The living room opens through a wide timber doorway to the dining room; a glass-cylinder chandelier, multi-lite windows, and stained-glass French doors lead straight to the deck. Four bedrooms, two full baths, and a half bath keep the cottage footprint comfortable without feeling cramped.Outside works like extra living space: a raised wood deck wraps the brick chimney, with a pergola, string lights, and a covered grill. A turret-roofed octagonal gazebo sits at the corner-exposed rafters, leaf-blade fan, built-in benches, hexagonal decking. Brick paths wind through ferns, ivy, and flowering shrubs to a fenced side yard. A matching detached garage with a paneled door and side entry sits at the end of the drive.Mature trees and a pond just beyond the rear lots complete the setting. Cottage character, usable outdoor space, and an address on one of Birmingham's most premier streets.
