Perfectly positioned in one of the city’s most vibrant areas, you’re just a short walk to beloved parks, restaurants, nightlife, and local shops — and only minutes from UAB, the BJCC, and downtown attractions. This spacious historic retreat was designed with groups in mind. Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, rich character details, and plenty of room to gather. The oversized kitchen makes hosting easy, while multiple living spaces ensure everyone has room to relax. For entertainment, the sunroom welcomes you with classic game stations including Pool, Ping Pong, and Air Hockey — the perfect setup for friendly competition. TVs in every room with streaming access (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, ESPN+) mean no one misses their favorite shows or the big game. Step outside and enjoy the porches and decks — ideal for morning coffee, evening grilling, or simply soaking in the charm of this historic neighborhood. For safety and preservation of the home, the attic, basement, and backyard are not accessible to guests. The two main levels, front yard, porch, and both decks are fully yours to enjoy during your stay. There is ample free street parking available. If traveling with multiple vehicles, we kindly ask that you park directly in front of the property, across the street, or further along the circle rather than in front of neighboring homes. My goal is always a seamless five-star experience. I'm honored to host you and am just a message away if you need anything during your stay. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In a village - In the city centre - In the mountains - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Table tennis - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 3,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112530000/112528300/112528242/4fb76937.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi, AC in Center Point Center Point - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer - Air-conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-23&endDate=2026-02-24&selected=112528242&PinnedHotelID=112528242&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95670000/95668800/95668729/a23a1947.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect Private Birmingham Getaway Near Downtown!
