Location, Location, Location! Cross the street and you are in the heart of Crestline Village with its many shops and restaurants, one of 3 villages in Mountain Brook! Enter the charming white picket fence and continue up the sidewalk to a covered front porch where the front door leads into a beautifully renovated and expanded home from 2001. The foyer has a marble tile floor, crown molding and large cased openings on either side that open to the formal living room and dining room. Gleaming hardwood floors begin here and continue throughout the home.

There is a display cabinet on one wall with glass doors. A laundry closet/pantry opens off the den next to the kitchen. The kitchen is a cook's delight and opens to the den so everyone can keep the cook company while preparing family meals. It has top-of-the-line stainless appliances which include a Five-Star gas range and hood and a Bosch dishwasher. There is also a large GE Monogram Refrigerator/freezer. A door from the den leads to a delightful covered porch which has a ceiling fan and provides a quiet spot for relaxing and curling up with a good book. From the living room, a hall leads to 3 spacious bedrooms all of which have a private bathroom. The custom draperies in the bedrooms all have inner lining to block out sunlight for easy sleeping.
